When I started writing software applications, those apps were in support of the enormous human driven organization. Today we have come to a situation where complex software actually drive entire organizations and humans working for it. The need for quality software being produced faster is the key to compete in the marketplace today. From both the quality and shorter time to market perspectives, software production starts from the developer. Many organizations have tools like SonarQube to check software quality. However, if we make mistakes caught by Sonar and then correct them, critical time is lost. That is precisely where a world champion Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like the Visual Studio 2019 can readily and incredibly save time and boost developer/engineer productivity.While I have used Visual Studi 2019 before, the book with its chapters identifying various ways to do it right in less time is an incredible friend for engineers. Chapters that show Database Explorer, Coding, Compiling, Debugging, working with Code Repository are plentiful; what I found fascinating are the chapters that covered the CodeMaid, both Visual Studio and VS Code extensions, dealing with Project Templates and customizing templates. The chapter showing how to secure our code with Puma Scan is icing on the Cake. I am not talking about the developer/engineer point of view but talking from an architect or a project manager's perspective. Generating code that is clean, properly formatted, and secure before we can catch/verify the code with Sonar, Veracode is a massive productivity boost and has significant financial and timeline gains.Overall a Great Buy!

Don't let the title get you wrong. The book's content is giving you more than what the title describes.The book is giving tricks and techniques about Visual Studio Code as well.I loved the Visual Studio Extension part which gives good information about pretty useful extensions.Providing good and related references are also gives you more information from the book.By the way, the book does not give only deep information to the Visual Studio 2019 users but everyone who wants to learn visual studio can also use this book.

I've used Visual Studio 2019 for years and found this book quite insightful in regard to helping me better manage my code bases and projects. There are great examples and walkthroughs of how to perform common tasks, refactor code, and even deploy code all using Visual Studio. There is plenty of material, that is easy to follow, for the new programmer graduate to a seasoned Senior Software Engineer that is quite helpful in pulling together good code practices. What Microsoft has provided in its Azure DevOps, Azure CI/CD pipeline and more is all availed with simple plug-ins for Studio. You can be in the cloud in 10 minutes if you want to. Great primer for any one using Visual Studio, it can only add to your experience. I highly recommend this book to all Microsoft, Visual Studio, programmers.

This book covers A LOT OF INFO! Instead of just one IDE, the authors frequently showed how to do things in VS 2019, VS Code, and VS for Mac. As an intermediate-level developer with a desire to become more expert, I found this book to be just right. The initial chapters were a little basic, but I did pick up some great tips. Almost every chapter had detailed hands-on exercises that were easy to follow thanks to all the screenshots. At first, I thought the organization was scattered, but after going through it, I see how each chapter’s content builds on previous examples as the complexity of concepts increases.The downloaded source code worked well with the exercises, though I might have liked to see a Blazor example or two. Also, some of the content in the later chapters was pretty advanced for me, but it was cool to learn how Visual Studio works its magic “behind the scenes”. It definitely gave me a good understanding and I’ll come back to this book as a reference once I get to that level!Overall, a pretty solid book that is well-written, moves quickly, and explains things in plain English. I’m giving it five stars because it was easy to follow, had lots of best practice advice, and I learned a number of new techniques. I considered giving it four stars because it lacks Blazor examples, but the chapters on VS extensions were pretty unique and can appreciate it’s hard to be everything to everyone at all skill levels. Overall, recommended for those who want to become way more proficient with Visual Studio and don’t mind that not every chapter covers things they will use in practice every day.
