Book Description
Visual Studio .NET is one of the most versatile and extensible programming tools released by Microsoft. The number of features and shortcuts available in VS.NET is truly immense, and it grows tremendously with each release. Developers who are unaware of these timesaving features surely miss out on opportunities to increase their programming productivity and effectiveness. Visual Studio .NET Tips and Tricks explains how to use VS.NET efficiently. Organized into short and easy-to-grasp sections, and containing tips and tricks on everything from editing and compiling to debugging and navigating within the VS.NET IDE, this book is a must-read for all .NET developers, regardless of expertise and whether they program in C#, VB.NET, or any other .NET language. This book covers the Visual Studio .NET 2002, 2003, and 2005 Beta 1 releases.
Customer Reviews:
Dictionary?.......2007-02-16
Reads like a dictionary. Not very helpful, unless you want to look up a term or technique.
ideal for someone not familiar with VS.......2006-10-04
I was disappointed with this book. I was hoping that it would have some hidden tips & tricks, but most of it is just the obvious stuff, especially if you already know basic programming (e.g. how to comment in your code). If you have already been using Visual Studio .NET and/or are already comfortable with your programming skills in general, skip this book.
Great Productivity Enhancer.......2006-06-24
This is a very useful book at a fair price. Your improved productivity will pay for this book 10 times over.
The book could be improved if the author made the following changes:
1) Do not print it on recycled pizza boxes. The paper quality is terrible and makes it hard to read because you cannot tell and H from an 11, etc.
2) Start each tip with a little set of icons that show which version of VS each tip applies to. I was frequently disappointed that at the end of a 2 page explanation the final sentence would say, "This feature is only available in C# for VS 2002." Obviously, for someone programming in VB.Net for VS 2005 it would have been really nice to know this BEFORE I read the 2 pages.
Other than that the book is great. It is a quick read and with a few short hours of easy reading you will be a much more productive programmer.
BTW, the "Hacks" book from O'Reilly contains about 80% of the tips that are in this book, nevertheless I am glad I bought both.
Excellent to begin with VS.NET.......2006-03-14
This rather short book has a lot of insightful tips and tricks for VS.NET. Mostly it covers VS 2003 but a lot of tips is also applicable to VS 2005. The level of tips ranges from beginner to average, and I wish I had this book back when I started working with VS.NET. But even now after years of everyday experience with the product I still found a number of features I either didn't know about or didn't use their full potential.
A very helpful reference book.......2005-08-12
IDE plays a big role in .NET programming. I have 4 years .NET experiences but still cannot remember all useful IDE features up front. Like how to deploy a ASP.NET web application using Visual Studio, how to switch between code view and design viewer(makes you look more professional in front of your boss). This book gives out quick and easy tips to dig out IDE usage for VS 2003 and 2005. This also help me work more efficiently. I would recommend it to be a must have desktop reference at office.

Great for 3DS DOS.......2001-01-17
It appears that the person who reviewed this last didn't understand that this book is for 3DS DOS, not 3DS MAX. For 3DS DOS, I found this book excellent for explaining everything I needed to know about lighting and materials.
doesn't even deserve 1 star :(.......1999-05-28
This is one of the more horible books on 3dsmax DO NOT GET THIS!!! halfe the steps are missing and the books requires u to get about $200 worth of plug-in's!!

Macromedia Flash: Super Samurai doesn't cater to new users of Macromedia's Web animation tool, so if you are just learning to wield Flash, skip this book. However, if the weight of Flash in your hands feels balanced and comfortable, perhaps it is time to learn how to make the blade sing like the rushing wind, making effort invisible.
Parallels to swords and samurai aside, Flash Super Samurai compiles the experience of 12 gifted Flash designers. Much more than a book on Flash animation, it shows the reader how to create interactive elements, how to create 3-D Flash elements, how to use XML and Flash together, discusses the intricacies and pitfalls of adding sound and how to make sound work for you, and much more.
Nine chapters and three appendices detail tricks and techniques for adding physics simulations to Flash animation (think bouncing billiard balls), programming sound, using XML and Flash together, using JavaScript and Flash together, and dynamic Flash pages created on the fly based on user input. Each chapter is well illustrated and heavily coded, and the accompanying CD-ROM includes all the necessary project files.
The way of the samurai is one of intense concentration and the constant search for wisdom, a description that fits the contributors to this rich, dense book for advanced Flash developers. Filled with ActionScripts and Flash animation that goes far beyond basic tweening, this book is invaluable for those looking to make the most of Flash as a tool for animation as well as for interactive site development. --Mike Caputo
Book Description
Untitled
Macromedia Flash: Super Samurai focuses squarely on programming technique. While each chapter can stand alone, together they comprise the most complete compendium of Flash programming practices and techniques available. Focusing on real world projects and applications, the chapters cover such topics as JavaScript and Flash; optimizing 3D; integrating databases through ActionScripting, XML and Flash, and much more. Aimed at the intermediate to advanced developer, Macromedia Flash: Super Samurai contains the most comprehensive set of Flash programming techniques ever assembled in one book.

Book Description
Serious solvers know that the puzzles in The New York Times get harder as the week goes on. From an easy Monday to a downright difficult Friday puzzle, this brand-new collection is sure to challenge puzzlers with each passing day. With the day of the week prominently displayed on each puzzle, solvers can see how far they can get.
Customer Reviews:
For those of us that know our limitations!.......2007-06-12
For those that don't know: the answers are int he back, six to a page. Some may have trouble with this and feel the desire to glance at the other answers on the page. If you are doing the puzzles in order, you may glance and remember an answer.
The book is spiral bound, so it lays nice and flat, unlike those that are cheap and glue-bound like a magazine.
Printed on newsprint-like paper, which makes it even lighter and packable. This book is much better than those cheap $1 crossword puzzles you find in the store.
A whole spectrum of difficulty levels!.......2007-02-08
Hooray! A crossword book that has easy AND hard puzzles, each clearly labeled, so you can work your way up as you get smarter (sadly, I'm still a Tuesday girl).
If you're tired of Dell/Penny Press crossword books which are full of repeating, unimaginative clues, the NY Times crosswords will definitely bend your brain in a new way.
AND, if you love crosswords, be sure to check out the film Wordplay, featuring Will Shortz!
Heavy lifting here!.......2007-01-31
30 Jan 2007
TGIM - Standing for "Thank God it's Monday" would be an appropriate exclamation every five (5) pages.
I must confess that I have to ask for a little help with a word here or there on Fridays. The rest of the week is manageable.
Finally! This is the book I've been looking for........2006-06-16
Because the puzzles get harder during every week, I can build up my abilities and I am getting more confident in doing the Thursday and Friday puzzles in the NY Times! Better than always doing easy puzzles, because its amazing how you can improve by challinging yourself with a range, just as the NY Times provides every week.
Yay Will Shortz!
Difficulty Noted - Very Nice!.......2005-11-28
In the past, most of the NY Times Crossword books were either themed collections or just general collections. There are the Sunday Crossword Books, as well as Will Shortz's Most Difficult Puzzle Books, but this book has a great advantage: You can tell immediately by the day of the week how difficult the puzzle is going to be. Want a quickie? Do a Monday! Want a toughie? Do a Friday. I often like the Wednesday or Thursday puzzles because they have fun gimmicks, but aren't too difficult. This book makes it easy to find them!

The #1 Name in Crossword Puzzles: The New York Times Serious solvers know that the puzzles in The New York Times get harder as the week goes on.

Great gift for the addicted........2007-01-10
After seeing the movie "Wordplay," my wife became interested in solving the NY Times crossword puzzle and is now addicted. This book was the perfect gift for a vacation to a place where getting the newspaper is not so easy.
