New features in the SQL Server "Juneau" development tools

From time to time I get asked about the new features planned in SQL Server "Juneau", i.e. the next version of the product, scheduled to be available in 2012. Of course, there are plenty of new features, but most developers I talk to seem to be interested in the new features in Visual Studio.

The September 2011 issue the MSDN Magazine contains a nice article about this. Titled "The 'Juneau' Database Project", the article focuses on the features that database developers might find useful. I for one find the article interesting reading.
