A great, detailed tutorial about the premier software development tool. The book covers what every developer needs to know about Visual Studio. If the cost of VS daunts you, get the community version. It has all the features of Enterprise, including compile and distribute, and up to 5 developers can use it.

I get the book and it requires that you download material from their website. Except the website requires that you register. Except that the registration process is broken and you are supposed to email them. Except the email address returns your email with a notice that the address is not recognized.Sound like a load of crap?The books has some good stuff, but I am going to be loading a bunch of code by hand.Not nice.
