SCREENCASTS: What’s New in Visual Studio 2013 – learn over lunch!

I could write a whole epic post about what's new in VS2013 for Web folks and front-end developers, but this time instead I did some videos. I'm proud of them and I think they really show some of the cool new features in a very clear way.
