Microsoft Corp. will display at Maker Faire how a variety of innovative companies are using its now-free Visual Studio® 2005 Express editions to bring the power of code to the growing community of 18 million recreational and hobbyist developers.
Since the launch of the Visual Studio and SQL Server™ Express editions on Nov. 7, 2005, a strong community has built up around the products and the various editions have been downloaded more than 5 million times. Much of this excitement is due in part to the diverse range of partners that have chosen to take advantage of the Visual Studio Express editions to empower a wide range of software enthusiast communities and give them the resources to customize their experiences.
Sound interesting? You bet it does! This is a terrific opportunity to test out your skills and ability to develop.
The Visual Studio 2005 Express editions are available for download today from MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/express.
