Microsoft has released new versions of Visual Studio and .NET 4.5. There are a lot of cool new features like better HTML and CSS editors. The Javascript editor now has full intellisence support.
Scott Hanselman has a great post on the new features, plus videos on some of those new features. The videos average about 6 minutes in length, and give a great overview of those features.
Microsoft also released a new version of ASP.NET MVC, MVC4. This version has the new Web API and mobile features. Scott shows these features on his post as well.
