One of the newest videos on Channel 9 is dedicated again to Visual Studio Extensibility. In this video Ken Levy interviews Doug Hodges about the history of Visual Studio Extensibility.
Doug is a Principal Architect on Visual Studio platform and this interview is a very nice overview of VSX history during the past years. Visual Studio is one of the very old products of Microsoft and has evolved in these years.
This is yet another video about VSX on Channel 9 and it’s interesting to see the growing number of such videos. The text transcript of this interview is also published on CoDe Focus magazine.

Thanks in advance,
The newbie”
