Great book for .NET developers looking for a way to get more from their time and efforts and augment their existing skills! You will save time with this book, while accomplishing more! Highly recommended
Excellent book covering hard to find information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Mr. Smith provides an excellent service to his audience. Writing Add-Ins for the VS.NET environment had been nearly an impossible task prior to this book. Microsoft's online documentation, in my opinion, is sorely lacking. Without this book, I couldn't possibly have written the tools that regularly save me hours of coding tedium each week. Hat's off to Mr. Smith.
Enhance your Visual Studio .Net experience
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Anyone who's worked with Visual Studio and VS .NET know there are some profound differences. Even with these enhancements, there is a lot that could be automated that would help just about any developer. Mr. Smith's book on Add-Ins helps developer accomplish just that. In order to create and implement useful add-ins, a developer would probably have to be familiar with programming and VS enough to know what is repetitive and what could benefit from automation. Hence, I wouldn't recommend this to someone who's new to programming and VS.However, for those out there that find themselves repeating the same tasks over and over or are looking for functionality that Microsoft didn't include, this book will be invaluable. Furthermore, Mr. Smith's obvious experience and familiarity with VS will no doubt give you some really great ideas about add-ins you may want to create.Excellent!

There are very few books on the market that discuss Add-Ins. Les Smith's Writing Add-Ins for Visual Studio.Net is one of a kind. Smith does a very good job of discussing the advantages that Add-Ins provide for developers. Add-Ins allow developers to develop products faster and get those products to market faster. Even though the book is not for beginners in Visual Basic.Net or Visual Studio.Net, the book is an easy read. Any developer who is looking cut down on the time to develop an application, Les Smith's book is the way to go.
