Description

Visual Studio 2022 is widely recognized as the best IDE for application development across various domains. This book is a comprehensive guide for both beginners and experienced .NET developers who wish to familiarize themselves with its basic, advanced, and new features. This book is divided into three sections: the first is an overview of Visual Studio, the second part explores tools for productivity within the IDE, and the third delves into integration with GitHub and Visual Studio extensions. In this second edition, we’ve also expanded the chapters on the use of Visual Studio to environments beyond web development, such as Azure, Desktop, .NET MAUI, and others. Updates to the IDE introduced since the release year of the first edition of the book in 2022 have also been included, such as the use of GPT-based extensions like 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. By the end of this book, you’ll have a better understanding of Visual Studio 2022 and how to use it to its fullest potential.

Who is this book for?

This book is for .NET developers who want to learn how to use the latest features, tools, and extensions available in Visual Studio 2022. To get the most out of the book, general knowledge of C# is recommended. Knowledge of web development, Azure, .NET MAUI, and Desktop with .NET will help you follow along, but it’s not a prerequisite.

Great book for developers who are already familiar with Visual Studio 2022 but want to improve their productivity by utilizing built in tools which are not as visible to everyday users. In particular, I loved the detailed insights on debugging and breakpoint customization, and code styling and cleanup. I also highly value the inclusion of keyboard shortcuts throughout the book. As an improvement I found it a bit jarring that some pages are full-color, and some are not - especially for pages which include code snippets it would be ideal if all were colored. But still, great reference and I am happy to recommend! 🚀

This book is an excellent resource for both beginners and experts. Beginners can use this book to learn and master Visual Studio 2022, which is one of the most widely used IDEs in the industry by software engineers, web developers, students, and hobbyists. After reading, I found that this book extensively covers the following topics, which are not addressed in any other book:Getting Started: An introduction to the basics of Visual Studio.Project Creation: Detailed explanations on how to create projects using the various templates offered.Debugging: In-depth coverage of one of the most critical features of any IDE, with detailed explanations by the author.Productivity Enhancement: The author discusses how to improve productivity by utilizing the included tools and extensions.This book is not only helpful for beginners but also serves as a valuable reference for expert users.

From a student and developer, who is actively USED VS since Visual Studio 2002: strange book. It has some news for me, but not so much. I don't understand idea to add Copilot - why? I would understand if I met analysis an comparisons of different AI LLMs, but only one - no sense? In some examples: used menu options doesn't reflect appropriate modern GUI of some extension tools. But don't dismiss. This book is good for new one guy, who would like to have knowledge about basic/starting-intermediate level of most used features. It has good description of basic mechanics and usages of VS for different kind of projects.

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced user of Visual Sfudio 2022, this book will provide everything you need from initial download and setup to extensions and tools you’ll need for everyday use.I especially liked the AI chapter that goes into detail about new features like GitHub Copilot and chat from inside Visual Studio, after it covers familiar features such as CodeLens and Code Map.I also appreciated that the book calls out the edition necessary to enjoy a specific feature as you’ll need Enterprise Edition for some advanced features, even though Community Edition will work for most features.
