Camano is the code name given to the standalone testing suite being worked on in the Visual Studio “Rosario” release. The code name follows the tradition of Developer Division to name their products after islands in the Pugeot Sound area north of the corporate headquarters in Redmond, Seattle, Washington.
The Island County Community Web gives a nice map of the area and where Camano island is situated. It turns out it’s right next to Whidbey Island.
From the bottom up, lets go through the significance of each of these places:
- Redmond – The location of Microsoft’s corporate headquarters in Seattle, Washington.
