StudioShell with Jim Christopher

Topic: StudioShell is a deeply integrated PowerShell host available inside of Visual Studio 2010 and 2008. It's goal is to fundamentally change the way you interact with your IDE and your code. You're probably thinking "we already have nuGet" or "we already have PowerGui VSX." So why another PowerShell host in Visual Studio? If you've ever implemented a Visual Studio extension, such as an add-in or a package, you know how convoluted this space has become. In a nutshell you have to become an expert in your tooling if you want to change it. StudioShell exposes many of Visual Studio's extensibility points in a simple and consistent way, and it makes the Visual Studio DTE interactive and discoverable. What an add-in does in a compiled binary, StudioShell can accomplish with a one-liner. To learn more about this project, see http://www.beefycode.com/post/Announcing-StudioShell.aspx. Jim will demo this new project, and discuss the technology and architecture that makes it all work.
