Code Canvas @ MSR TechFest 2009

This was a live presentation of Code Canvas given at the 2009 Microsoft Research TechFest event on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, WA. It demonstrates some of the features of Code Canvas that are applicable when zoomed in close to your code, such as grouping by folders, organization by type hierarchy, references and off-screen previews, screen-constrained search results, code coverage overlays, and code execution traces, including multi-threaded execution traces showing thread synchronization.

The layout engine seems a little slow, and I am guessing that this is really being designed for multitouch.

Just like code bubbles, but a little more, or less depending on your opinion, refined.

I think what would really be useful, is having code canvas as a map on one screen for selection and quick editing, and then for more refined editing, perhaps on another screen or in the same screen, having something like the current Visual Studio layout wrap itself around a selected or pinned bubble.
