Oh Visual Studio! A very fast evolving product, who does not use it when developing on a Microsoft platform?I used the one 1st in my life that came in late 90s, it if I remember correctly it offered 3-4 projects.Today, after it went through such an evolution Visual Studio has reached an enormous heights. From ETL to reports, from DirectX to tests, from database projects to Windows Store App development, and what not?A book on Visual Studio makes a lot of sense.Gladly Packt has one off its sleeve that is called Cookbook, in my view these books simply avoid wasting your time. Yet this book is quite universal, if you wish, it will take you through basics as opening a developers` account, or if you do not want to walk baby steps you can jump straight to very advanced topics as say the TPL Dataflow, WPF, Bootstrap and more.I felt the book can be sliced and diced like a multidimensional cube, back and forth without any particular order and all would still make sense. Feel free to pick only the parts you need or like.I enjoyed reading on Python with .Net integration, turned out it is simple.WCF is something I will be doing soon at work, so this book will be revisited gain.The book is full of graphics, coloreful, high quality graphics, very well structured examples, and full of insight, discusses improvements and suggest on best practices.The book also covers working with a workflow, graphics, it was even fun to refresh my C++ skills in Visual Studio 2013 retrospective.In terms of closing, it makes sense to have a printed copy or two, the book must be kept on a bookshelf ready to be borrowed by colleagues. Having it in the eBook format is as helpful as you can search it whenever you need some reference or a refresh. On another note, I wish the book could cover more material as BI, Database, F# development,I am giving this book the maximum mark possible.

There’s a lot on this book, not just for those who already know and use Visual Studio and want to learn what’s new with the 2013 version, but also for those that never used it before or are even new to .Net programming. If you are a new .Net programmer, I don’t recommend you get as your first programming book, of course, but I do recommend you get it sometime along your way through your .Net path as a developer. If you are a seasoned developer, you will find a lot of stuff you probably already know but you’ll also certainly be surprised with some nice tips and get to learn a lot of new features shipped with VS2013.I definitely recommend you check Visual Studio 2013 Cookbook whenever you can. If you're serious about developing with Visual Studio, this is a great book to get and you'll certainly find something new to learn.

Why would you buy a Visual Studio 2013 book instead of just using the Internet to find what you need? Simple, time and content. The amount of new features and ways to do things in this version is substantial. Mining the Internet you are sure to miss many gems that could make a large difference to your day-to-day work. Going through this book you will benefit that a team of people has done the work for you. Ensuring they have included everything and the content is correct for your easy perusal.Chapter 1 gives a very good overview of the new additions to the main tool you use each day.Chapter 2 gives a very good starting place for Windows 8.1 development. It will get you past the new stuff quickly to allow you to get into the code.Chapter 3 goes over Web Development with MVC 5 and the new One ASP.NET model.Chapter 4 uses some I'm not dead yet WPF ("WPF remains the recommended choice for developing desktop applications on the Windows platform. Visual Studio 2013 itself is a WPF application", p 118) WF, WCF and .NET application development.Chapter 5 Debugging EnhancementsChapter 6 Asynchrony in .NETChapter 7 C++, I skimmed this one, but the C++ developer should be thrilled, and it makes me want to learn DirectX.Chapter 8 Team Foundation Server features from a users perspective. Great features that many developers aren't utilizing that can very much help day-to-day. If you are managing a TFS server though, you'll want more than what is provided here.Chapter 9 is on languages TypeScript, Python and IronPython. TypeScript I knew and understand, but I have no idea about Python, and don't really want to, but it's good to know it's available if that's your flavour of choice.Appendix contains recipes on Installers, Submitting Windows Store apps, Visual Studio Add-ins and extensions, and creating your own snippets.The "There's more..." sections littered throughout are valuable on there own, revealing many power user features I was unaware of. The recipe format of the books make it a great reference to have on-hand. Going to the relevant recipe within the book will be a faster and more reliable process than going online.I intended to flick through this book quickly and dive in on a couple of chapters. I however could not help but go through it all. The capabilities we have available to us, just from Visual Studio is amazing. Going over it all I can't help but think of all the possibilities and opportunities. Now I must get back to coding.Review also posted on my blog [...]Disclaimer: I was provided a complimentary electronic copy of this book by the publisher. In no way was I directed on the content of my review. Opinions are mine alone.
