Professional Visual Studio 2008
As you may remember from the past, back in November 2007 and when I was working on my Professional Visual Studio Extensibility title, I eventually found authors of Professional Visual Studio 2008 book and was invited to their blog. As I stated at that time, our books are complementary and that was a good idea to join together. Even though our activity on Professional Visual Studio blog has fallen down recently but we hope that we can return with new posts very soon.
Professional Visual Studio 2008 was supposed to be ready in mid-2008 and it was time to see it available in July!
Today I checked Amazon and noticed that this title is finally available in stock and this means that book has been released!
A short while after joining to Nick and Dave, I announced that I’m contributing to their book writing a few chapters for Professional Visual Studio 2008 primarily about automation and extensibility. Not only I wrote three chapters (chapters 51, 52 and 53) as the whole Automation part but also I was asked to help with technical editing of some other chapters in the latest days of writing stage when there was a time pressure for the book team.
So beside my friendship with Nick and Dave, my own contributions to this book as a guest-author and technical editor makes this release interesting for me! I’m sure that Nick Randolph and Dave Gardner along other guest-authors and editors have done a great job on this title. Dave had written a short post about the list of authors and editors.
The other interesting point about this book is that it had same editorial team as my Professional Visual Studio Extensibility title including Katie Mohr and Bill Bridges. As you see in the back cover of both books, they’re categorized in the same hierarchy for Visual Studio learners so I would recommend you to order them both together!

My latest in a series of the weekly, or more often, summary of interesting links I come across related to Visual Studio. Greg Duncan posted a link to Microsoft Visual Studio Middle School Power Toy 1.0 . IMHO there needs to be much more of this sort of
