Book Description
Visual Studio 2019 (VS 2019) and Visual Studio Code (VS Code) are
powerful professional development tools that help you to develop
applications for any platform with ease. Whether you want to create web,
mobile, or desktop applications, Microsoft Visual Studio is your
one-stop solution. This book demonstrates some of the most sophisticated
capabilities of the tooling and shows you how to use the integrated
development environment (IDE) more efficiently to be more productive.
You'll begin by gradually building on concepts, starting with the
basics. The introductory chapters cover shortcuts, snippets, and

code more efficiently as well as discover how certain Visual Studio
features work 'under the hood'.
By the end of this Visual Studio book, you'll have learned how to write
more secure code faster than ever using your knowledge of the extensions
and processes that make developing successful solutions more enjoyable
