Microsoft Visual Studio Tips: 251 Ways to Improve Your Productivity
Author: Sara Ford
Publisher: Microsoft Press
No. Pages: 229

I pre-ordered the this book back in August and I have to say this is the best book on the Visual Studio IDE that I have ever run across. It is a great collection of tips taken from Sara Ford’s ever-popular Visual Studio Tip of the Day. I really like the “Sara Aside” sections where extra insight is given about the tip.

There are tips for (but not limited to) the following -

Dealing with the editor
Searching files
Development environment
Debugging
Design time tools

If you have to spend any amount of time in Visual Studio then this book is definitely worth the money as I will be referring back to it time and time again. I am also recommending it at my office. Especially for beginners to .NET.

Happy Reading.
