Synopsis:

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.
