Visual Studio 2010 Best Practices is written by Peter Ritchie, the president of Peter Ritchie Inc. Software Consulting Co. a software consulting company.
This book covers all the essential areas of Visual Studio such as advanced C# syntax and asynchronous programming in C#. This book delves into step-by-step instructions that highlights various techniques to design multi-threaded, parallel and distributed systems, and learn better ways to develop web services with WCF and design automated tests.
Along with providing consolidated reference of varied practices and using tips and tricks to test complex systems, readers will also learn to understand proven ways of deploying software systems in windows and learn source code control.
I’ve been developing software for more than 12 years. The one overriding theme to my career has been my search for the best (or just better if I can’t find the one “best”) way to do things. I read blogs, I help lead a .NET User Group and I’ve spoken in front of other user groups, code camps, and at a regional conference.
In my current position I’m the sole .NET developer for a medium-sized company that, heretofore, has done everything in Microsoft Access. I NEED to find the absolute best ways of doing things since I’m going to be maintaining ALL the applications for a company of 200 employees that does $40 +/- million in annual revenues!
I’m not sure if this book will be enough to help poor Perry. Maintaining all these Access apps for over 200 people sounds like a challenge. We only have 15 people and about 100 freelancers. But three developers. So we do actually have a real chance to write great apps. We’re just started to write all new code with VS 2012, MVC4 and the Web API. A book like this would surely help us to jump into this new world.
And you would have some fans from Switzerland on top of it.
I would like to win this book because my current position is .NET programming with Visual Studio 2010 and VB.NET and am always looking to improve my programming techniques and/or toolsets.
awesome
I’m still working in Visual Studio 2003 on a daily basis and only get to use VS 2010 and 2012 on occasion.
This book will show me all that I’m missing out on, like rubbing salt into open wounds 🙂
Invest in the Philippine IT industry!
great input, I use VS 2010 daily but advice is always welcome !
Hi Avlin,
I have been a fan of implementing best practice for everything from the visual studio settings to code to serve settings. So I think this book will definitely help me in future.

I would love to own this book. I am particularly interested in the parts about WCF, Unit Testing and asynchronous programming.
Most of my VS2010 programming is for apps to support our embedded products. Would love to read this ebook. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
