Featured Customer Reviews  Not a Visual Studion 2008 C++ book as expected,
August 21, 2010 Not for decision making,
August 16, 2009Enlightened me to Visual Studio's subtler side,
July 07, 2009 I've been working with Visual Studio since.... well, a long time. Despite the fact that I've literally been through a bookshelf of language books, design patterns, best practices, and so forth, when I saw this book I realized I hadn't really investigated the very tool I was using every day.
The first few chapters were seemingly humdrum, but I started picking up these little chunks of things I didn't know. Like the Object Test Bench had just been something I had skimmed past a few times, but had never seriously looked at. Or the Command Window, which I kept closed before (now I use it like crazy). I kept running into these little "nuggets" that talked about things I either didn't know about, or hadn't paid serious attention to.
This book has helped my overall productivity a great deal. I would recommend it to any programmer who wants to use Visual Studio more effectively (yes, even with add-ins like ReSharper). The things you can pick up can change your day to day coding significantly.Good Overview of VS2008,
March 07, 2009 This is very good overview of VS2008 and the features it offers to developers. As a developer myself, I sometimes focus more on the features of a particular programming language and neglect the features offered by the IDE I'm using. This is a very good book to bring balance to a MS developer's skill set. Excellent Book,
