Editorial Review:
A thorough revision to the Visual Studio 2005 All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies makes this the ideal book for new programmers or Java programmers looking to get up and running with Visual Studio. The book will be a comprehensive, value-priced reference for the entire Visual Studio 2005. Microsoft’s catch-phrase for Visual Studio 2005 is personal productivity. The goal of personal productivity is to allow the developer to work at a higher level of abstraction. The goal of this book is to show the reader how to build applications using these productivity features of VS. As a result, language syntax and programming constructs are de-emphasized in favor of showing the user how to let VS generate the code.
This book takes a layered approach similar to how most applications are architected. When developing a new application, developers often divide up the work for the user interface, service layer (data access), and domain classes (coding). Whether there is one developer playing all three roles, or three developers doing each, this approach allows the reader to easily reference the layer they are constructing. Minibooks include:
Book I: Visual Studio 2005 Overview.
Book II: Getting Started with Visual Studio.
Book III: Building Applications with Visual Studio 2005.
Book IV: Getting Acquainted with Data Access.
Book V: Coding.
Book VI: Going the Extra Mile.
Book VII: Extending the Family.
Visual Studio 2005 All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) Reviews:
Slow delivery 
2007-12-25 - It took a couple of weeks to get this. Book was in good shape when I received it, but delivery was too slow.
easy to learn, but with mistakes. 
2007-10-24 - Helps you to know some of the visual studio, if you want to do a project, this book will not help. it has only an introduction for each part of the studio.
lots of rubbish
2007-10-01 - This book is big and full of rubbish. The examples are not useful and you have to read lots of pages to get a little bit of explanation which it could have been done with few lines. I would not recommended to anybody
Very good book for anyone wanting to learn VS 2005 
2007-02-22 - This book gets to the point without speaking in another language so it's easy to understand. Even for the complete beginner or advanced user. It has great referrences and is easy to navigate. A must for your bookshelf.
Great value
2007-01-18 - Well written and packed with useful info. I'm a Delphi programmer (trying to learn C# using VS) and this is my first VS 2005 book. You get a lot for your money with this book and the author's writing style is clear, concise and often entertaining. I highly recommend it.
