Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Unleashed, Rough Cuts, 3rd Edition

Description

Streamlined and fully updated for Visual Studio 2015 this book is a complete guide for the Microsoft developer who is looking for comprehensive coverage of the Visual Studio toolset.

Where other books may concentrate on the .NET or one of the various .NET languages, this book is meant to be a deep dive into the Visual Studio tool. Specifically, its goal is to provide solid guidance and education to developers that will allow them to get the most out of the Visual Studio development environment. This book incorporates real-world development experience with detailed information designed to make the developer more productive. This new edition is also designed to ease the transition from other development environments (including prior versions of Visual Studio). It can be used as both an introduction to Visual Studio and then, after mastering the basics, as a reference for the more nuanced details.
