So I’ve been crazy busy lately, and I’ve been wanting to blog about a couple demos I wrote within the last few months using Visual Studio 2015. I really wish I could have gotten around to this sooner but, such is life. One positive thing about my procrastination, is that now that more information about VS 2015 is out there, and some of the bugs I had to dance around in earlier CTPS are fixed, and I can focus more on what I think is really worth looking at: the modern web development experience in Visual Studio 2015!  In this demo, I’m going to show off the stuff that is baked in. In particular, a modern web tool chain which includes npm, bower (for front end packages), MVC 6 (for the server side stuff), and AngularJS as the client side framework, and grunt to package it all up. So when we start a new MVC 6 app, the first thing we have to do is add all our dependencies to our project.json     dependencies: {         Microsoft.AspNet.Server.IIS: 1.0.0-beta3,         Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc: 6.0.0-beta3     },     frameworks: {         aspnet50: { },     scripts: {         postrestore: npm install, Notice in my “scripts” section, I’m running npm install and also my default grunt task (more on that later). Once we have that, we can start writing the basic code for our server side. For this demo I’m going to do some fairly simple REST stuff, so I will use MVC 6 to         public TeachersController(ITeacherRepository teachers)         {             return Json(teacher);         }             return new HttpStatusCodeResult(200);         } I’m not going to bother with trying to wire this up with EF 7 right now, we’ll save that for a later blog, but for now let’s just fake it with some fake repositories that just linger in memory. We’ll of course use a proper abstraction of these so that later we can just
