Excellent !

A handy book of Tips and Tricks, just as the title says. Keep it on hand because you will use it alot. Every .NET developer should have this book. At slightly over 100 pages, it is concise and easy to navigate.

A great handbook for Visual Studio

If you use Visual Studio this is a must have handbook. It covers tips and customization for the IDE. I have found myself more productive since I've adopted a couple of the techniques found in the text. Another plus is that it covers Visual Studio 2005! It is nice to have a single source (that is printed) to go to for improving my use of Visual Studio.

My favorite kind of book

This book is a great value, and the author is a good writer. This is my favorite kind of book -- the kind that helps you to be much more productive within a few minutes of casual reading. Most general-purpose .NET programming books only cover the bare essentials of what you need to know about Visual Studio .NET 2003/2005 in order to complete the programming task at hand. This book picks up where those books leave off, and pays for itself within the first 5 minutes of reading due to resultant productivity gains within Visual Studio .NET 2003/2005. For newcomers to Visual Studio .NET, this book is highly recommended. I even recommend it for experts of Visual Studio .NET -- even if you know most of the tips and tricks in this book, there will probably be some that you don't that will by themselves justify the cost of the book. Experts will also inevitably run into someone who is learning Visual Studio .NET, and this is an ideal book to have on hand to lend to such a person.

Great Book

Great book for beginners using the IDE and also some other tips for more advanced users. I liked the tips on VS2005.

Too Good for words

From my short time here on planet earth - there's two things you can safely assume about anyone with the last name of Nguyen - 1) They're smart as hell 2) They usually have more consonants in their first name than vowels. So Who in the Hell is Minh? A totall bad ass. About two weeks ago, he wrote me and and mentioned that he wrote a book and was wondering if I'd review it. Ok, Minh - here's your review: --------------------- BUY THIS BOOK - IT KICKS A33 ---------- This book is nothing short of a masterpiece. [...]My absolute favorite one - although not the most 'important one' in on Page 20 Figure 23 - Creating Rectangular Sections. No, this isn't about GDI+ it's about the IDE. How in the hell this didn't get picked up by a major publisher is beyond me - but the publisher did a great job. This book isn't about .NET per se, it's all about it IDE - (although a book about the IDE and O.P.P. would be really COOL). I could babble on and on -but I don't need to - Minh just straight up Kicks ass and takes no prisoners. If you wanna keep it real with the IDE - by both books, they'll pay for themselves by LunchTime.
