//build/ 2014 At the start of April, Microsoft's Build conference took place. With a series of fast-paced announcements and presentations by several key personnel demonstrating the company's shift to open up more to developers. All these sessions have been recorded and made available at Channel 9. Most of the development announcement which generated the most buzz happened on Day 2. Let us know if you saw something interesting which you wish to use in your current/future project. Read More @ Channel 9

Are there other reasons? Have a look on what Erik Dietrich has to say about it to get another view. Read More @ DaedTech
