Essential Visual Studio 2010 Skills–Made Easy!
Endorsed by Microsoft and written by a Microsoft MVP and Visual Studio expert, this hands-on guide teaches programmers and developers new to Visual Studio 2010 how to maximize the latest release of Microsoft’s flagship development environment. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010: A Beginner’s Guide shows you how to build applications from the ground up. You’ll also learn how to customize the integrated development environment (IDE) itself, adding your own tools that integrate with Visual Studio 2010.
Microsoft® Visual Studio® is Microsoft’s flagship development environment, which includes a suite of development tools designed to aid software developers. Visual Studio 2010 is expected to release at the end of 2009 (most likely at the Microsoft Professional Developer’s Conference in November). Visual Studio 2010 is a smart choice for developers. Because of the growing complexity of building applications these days, most developers would never think of writing code with a text editor or some other primitive tool. Businesses can’t afford to waste time and demand the greatest amount of productivity they can get with developers. Visual Studio 2010 is a tool for software developers that helps build applications that run on Microsoft platforms and integrate with other Microsoft applications, allowing for greater productivity in the process.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010: A Beginner’s Guide helps developers get started with Microsoft’s newest version of their integrated development environment (IDE), Visual Studio 2010. The author shows how to build applications with Visual Studio 2010 from installation of the tool to deployment of their solutions. The book demonstrates how to get started with the features of Visual Studio 2010 that support newer technologies. The readers also learn how to customize the IDE itself, adding their own tools that work with the features that ship with VS 2010. Another important aspect of Visual Studio 2010 is extensibility. Developers can add snippets in the editor, write macros, and even develop their own tools that integrate with Visual Studio 2010. This book includes details on how the user can accomplish these tasks and make Visual Studio 2010 their own. This fast-paced tutorial helps developers learn to leverage the new features, applications, and tools in Visual Studio 2010 to their advantage..
