Preface

Visual Studio 2022 is the best integrated development environment (IDE) for .NET developers. The powerful tools added release after release make it an annually renewed IDE for application development across various domains. This book is a comprehensive guide for .NET developers, both beginners and advanced, who wish to familiarize themselves with the basic, advanced, and new features of the IDE. The book is divided into three sections: an overview of Visual Studio, tools for productivity within the IDE, and finally, integration with GitHub and Visual Studio extensions.

In this second edition, we expand the use of Visual Studio to environments beyond web development, such as Azure, Desktop, .NET MAUI, and others. Moreover, updates to the IDE introduced since the release year of the first edition of the book in 2022 have been included, such as the use of GPT-based extensions such as GitHub Copilot and GitHub Copilot Chat, as well as profiling tools.

The book reviews breakpoint groups, a new way to configure breakpoints, as well as tools for web development, such as Browser Link, Dev Tunnels, and Web API Endpoints Explorer. For more advanced developers, the book addresses the topic of developing extensions through the use of the new Visual Studio SDK.
