Appendix

Who this book is for

This book is for any C# and .NET developer who wants to increase their productivity and write code fast by fully utilizing the power of the Visual Studio IDE. It helps take your understanding of Visual Studio 2019 to the next level. Those who want to delve deeper and peek under the hood to learn what Visual Studio does behind the scenes will be satisfied. Application architects will learn techniques that improve standardization across multiple projects and reduce ramp-up time. Additionally, coders who want to see how the development process can be reimagined using code generation and secure code scanning technology will be impressed.

Users of any IDE flavor will benefit from this book, including Visual Studio 2019 for Windows, Visual Studio Code, and Visual Studio 2019 for Mac. Several chapters include specific content for each version. A few chapters contain hands-on exercises that target only Visual Studio 2019 for Windows.

The material in the first and third sections of this book is appropriate for developers of any skill level (Visual Studio IDE Productivity Essentials and Leveraging Extensions for the Win). Those newer to developing with Visual Studio may find the content in the third section of the book interesting but a bit abstract (Customizing Project Templates and Beyond).
