Introduction
V
isual Studio has been the primary integrated development environment (IDE) for 
Microsoft software development for several years. Visual Studio 2010 (VS), the 
subject of this book, is therefore a mature evolution, building upon the success of its 
predecessors. This book will show you how to leverage Visual Studio 2010 to your 
advantage, increasing your skill set, and helping you become more productive in building 
software. The software you will learn to write will be for .NET (pronounced “Dot Net”), 
which is a Microsoft platform for writing different types of applications.
As the title suggests, this is a book for beginners. However, there are many opinions 
about who a beginner is, so let’s discuss what beginner means in the context of this book. 
You should probably have some understanding of what programming is from a general 
perspective. It would help to have at least written a batch file, macro, or script that 
instructed the computer to perform some task. A beginner could also be someone who 
has written software with technology, such as Cobol, Dreamweaver, or Java, but who is 
unfamiliar with Visual Studio. Whatever your background, this book provides a gradual 
on-ramp to developing applications with Visual Studio 2010.
