Is there are way to get and test Volta?

I am using Google's GWT Framework however I want to try out Microsoft Volta, but I believe t开发者_如何学Che server is down already.

• Was Volta release to be download and installed with Visual Studio?
• If so, has anyone have downloaded a copy of it?

Google Web Toolkit (GWT): http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/

I believe that Microsoft Visual Studio LightSwitch 2011 is a development of the Volta ideas, and yes, it's available.

Volta was a Microsoft project to do a C# to JavaScript compiler, similar to Coffee Script and GWT. Many features were added to make the development of RIA applications easier, once again very similar to GWT however it was ultimately stopped. Volta did build on top of Visual Studio.

Lightswitch is a similar concept except does not include the C# to JavaScript compiler (it uses normal C# in the app and compiles it), it produces GUI's built in Silverlight (rather than AJAX/HTML/JavaScript that Volta did) and the scope is vastly different.

Oh, I don't have a copy of Volta.

I found a link to download it here: http://download.cnet.com/Volta/3000-2212_4-10778819.html
