Chapter 2. Exploring the IDE
In This Chapter
• Getting Started with Visual Studio LightSwitch

The integrated development environment (IDE) is the place where you design, create, and build applications; therefore, it is where you will spend most of your developer life with LightSwitch. It is essential to understand what the most important tools in the IDE are, how they are organized, and what instruments you need to create professional applications. This chapter examines the Visual Studio LightSwitch IDE, providing necessary information to developers from different backgrounds (for example, Visual Basic 6, Visual Studio 2010, or absolute beginners).
