image22242222222The Visual Studio LightSwitch team is about to begin work on our next release targeting professional line-of-business (LOB) application developers building solutions for small and medium businesses. Our mission is to dramatically simplify the way modern LOB applications are built and deployed. We want to enable developers to focus on the unique needs and domain logic of the application and not the common scaffolding so that they write the code only they could write.

For our next release we are looking at adding new scenarios for OData and Windows next while continuing to expand existing scenarios based on customer feedback.
