A few months ago, we introduced the new node.js features we've added to WebMatrix 2. One of the missing pieces from that experience was a way to manage NPM (Node Package Manager) from within the IDE.
This week we shipped the final release of WebMatrix 2, and one of the fun things that comes with it is a new extension for managing NPM. For a more complete overview of the WebMatrix 2, check out Vishal Joshi's blog post.
After releasing WebMatrix 2 RC this week, I'm excited to head out to NYC for WordCamp 2012.

For a more complete overview of the WebMatrix 2 RC, check out Vishal Joshi's blog post.
