Book Description
Visual Studio .NET is the premier development environment for creating .NET applications. The environment includes specialized tools for working with databases, XML files, and XML Web services. Building applications with Visual Studio .NET is a very different experience than building ASP.NET applications with a standard text editor. Visual Studio .NET performs a lot of invisible work in the background, and the environment makes a number of assumptions about the best way to build applications. It is difficult for even an experienced ASP.NET developer to use Visual Studio .NET effectively without any guidance. This book helps readers understand and begin using this complicated environment.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Why can't all computer books be written like this one? It's so cleanly written that you'll probably be able to follow it without any problems at all. You'll find no "Dummies"-style attempts at humor here, or other digressions taking up space. He tells you exactly what you want to know, provides a simple example you can play along with, then moves on to the logical next step. This book does make for some pretty dry reading if you're not sitting in front of your computer running Visual Studio .Net. Here's how just about every page reads: "You can do <such-and-such thing> with your web form, by merely <clicking here and there>. For example, say you have a site that needs to <such-and-such>. You would do <this>, then <that>. Let's try an example. Do <this> then do <that>, then run your page. It will look like <this figure>. Then he moves on. It's a clean, simple, constructive way to teach. This book does not take you through a single mockup of an application all the way through (at least not yet, I'm not done with it yet). Rather, each section works on a separate, unrelated pretend application. I thought I would find this difficult, but I actually prefer it, because it keeps the examples so clean. Before tackling this book, I recommend reading a little .Net background elsewhere, and perhaps a C# primer if you feel you need one. All code examples are in VB.Net as well as C#. I'm going to quit writing now so I can get back to it. It's that good.
