I have received the book "Practical Microsoft Visual Studio 2015" from the publisher Apress for a review, upon a request from my site.In general, I was awaiting 190 page book with Visual Studio shortcuts and quick tricks. Even, I was asking myself, do I really need this, when I was getting the book. Well, it is really away from it. The book is 90% about how to write good software and some 10% about how to write this good software in Visual Studio. I was really impressed, as far as it teaches really some best practices in Software writing and really, about 10% of it is about MS Visual Studio. Which I found perfect. :)Pretty much, if you take a look at chapter 2 "Working in Teams: Tasks and Code", you would find subchapters "Applicable Principles" and "Delivering Software". In the latter, you will learn about Agile, Scrum, Waterfall Processes, Domain Experts. In Chapter 3, "Version Control", there is a separate subchapter for Git, with plenty of explanation for good practices with examples.Take a look at the content of the last subchapter - "Generally Accepted Version Control Practices":Commit Early, Commit OftenDo Not Commit Broken CodeDo Not Commit Commented-Out CodeDo Not Commit Fewer Unit TestsAvoid Version BranchesTag Milestones, Don't Branch ThemUse Feature BranchesBe Explicit with Source Branch When Branching (Git)Include Descriptive Commit CommentsIndeed, the book goes beyond MS Visual Studio, which I find really a big plus! In general, it went beyond my expectations, because it has shown how to make a software project in general, without being narrow-minded into MS Visual Studio.Thus, the verdict:Pros:Well selected and enough examples of code;Good way of showing general software practices;Not going deeply into the "Visual Studio way", but showing the software creation process in general;Cons:Still, there may be people, who may consider 8 pages for Agile and Scrum a bit off-topic in a book titled "Practical Microsoft Visual Studio". Thus, before buying read the content page thoroughly;The Verdict:I liked the book! Indeed! Thus, no doubt, I am giving it 5 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book to help you build application with Visual Studio *by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2016* This book is not just a "guide to using Visual Studio", it walks you through how Visual Studio can help you and your team develop quality software. ### ⭐ Libro per Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 *by M***O on Reviewed in Italy on April 24, 2017* Devo dire che questo libro non ha soddisfatto le mie aspettative perché ritenevo che fosse un libro per chi si avvicinava per la prima volta a Microsoft Visual Studio.E' invece un libro che non insegna come si usa l'applicazione Visual Studio dall'inizio ma presume che i rudimenti siano già noti.Per cui nel mio caso è un libro che non mi è di nessuna utilità. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/38058943-practical-microsoft-visual-studio-2015](https://www.desertcart.at/products/38058943-practical-microsoft-visual-studio-2015) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
