Excellent Intro to the Visual Studio 2008 IDE 23 Dec 2008
By Lance - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
An excellent primer to the VS2008 IDE. Covers a vast area with a fair amount of detail, and provides excellent quality screenshots throughout. Highly recommended if you want to get up to speed with this huge IDE.

Not sure what the previous reviewer's issue was with the book, as he provided no details to justify his one star review.

Very Good Book 21 May 2009
By Dennis Triplett - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Gimme a break... Not sure what the 1 star rating is all about, but I found this book to be very helpful in getting me up and running in the Visual Studio 2008 environment. This book has a lot of information and is a great resource, so if you need an excellent reference manual this is it.

I highly recommend this book for those who feel overwhelmed with Visual Studio 2008.

Great how to, not a step by step however 18 May 2009
By M. Urso - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
When used as a resource this is a fine book. Do not think it is a good step-by-step manual however. Many assumptions are made as to your familiarity with the sections of Visual Studio. The need for a CD with examples is apparent after working with this book.
