I could write a whole epic post about what's new in VS2013 for Web folks and front-end developers, but this time instead I did some videos. I'm proud of them and I think they really show some of the cool new features in a very clear way.
These are short, clear and to the point. I did them on my own and there's no marketing-speak, just "here's what we built." Here's the full release notes for ASP.NET and Web Tools for you to check out if you really like reading.
Otherwise, take about 30 minutes total, perhaps over lunch, and watch these short videos with live demos of what's new in Visual Studio for Web Developers and Front End Devs.
HTML5 in VS2013
CSS in VS2013
BrowserLink in VS2013
Page Inspector in VS2013
JavaScript in VS2013
Publishing in VS2013
If you've been paying attention over the last year, you may have seen some of these features. I realize that these may not ALL feel like "amazing new surprises." That's the price for being open, eh? If you'd prefer we hide out for a year and make stuff then appear and DROP it on you, let me now. Otherwise, we're sticking with a more Open Web.
Hope you enjoy the tools and the direction.
