I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem finding an avenue to give feedback. For LightSwitch, you can go to the connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio site, and submit feedback from there. When you click on the Submit Feedback button, you should see a link to submit feedback for LightSwitch.

If this is not the solution you need, or if I am misunderstanding your issue, please let me know. I would also like to understand which website you were searching and not finding LightSwitch. Feel free to contact me directly; my Microsoft email alias is dougturn.

I provided an error report on LS Beta 2 regarding the MSDN guided tour that did not work for me. Tried to add more detail on my MS connect page. Search does not bring up LS as a product ??? This is blocking the feedback process for me and I doubt it is a unique case. How am I supposed to work with this?

Thank you Jason,

Will do. If I could repost, I'd just have said that I'd rather have you (JZ) focused on developing other Visual Studio functionality.

@John - LightSwitch is meant for professional developers so it is possible this product is not for you (unsure of your background). The steps here are significantly easier than building a custom web application from scratch, but still designed with the pro coder in mind. The example walk through above is designed to give you pretty much all the concepts you need to build typical applications; you won't need a manual by the time you are done until you are ready for the advanced stuff. Do me a favor and give it a try, then let me know if you have any concrete feedback. thanks

Jason,

I'm ignorant about this product, but anytime I see a "30-page-tutorial", I simply close the browser.

I think Microsoft's strategy is to use Lightswitch as training-wheels for Sharepoint systems, but I seriously don't know anyone who would choose to use something this heavy and complex.

My feedback for LightSwitch is to discontinue the product, and then direct all that effort into web-friendly development solutions - from Microsoft.
