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.

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.

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.

RUBBISH. This book is rubbish ! It is probably the worst book I ever spent good money on in my life. There are a lot of words and many pages but nearly ZERO useful information. The authors make a fine art of talking alot about nothing. USELESS RUBBISH !
If you want information about 'Visual Studio 2008' load the package and use the 'Help' button. The information under the 'Help' button is infinitely more useful than this book.
I fear the 'garbage syndrome' that has become so prevalent in all consumer products has worked its way into the technical book field. Save your money and frustration don't waste either on this piece of rubbish.
