Description:OVERVIEW
Integrated development environments are intended to boost developer efficiency. A vital piece of this efficiency is an IDE's openness for extensions and customizations that developers can add to create precisely the environment they need. Visual Studio, Microsoft's flagship IDE, allows developers to create add-ins for any purpose they can think of, from generating boilerplate source code, to interacting with the many windows within Visual Studio. With Visual Studio Add-Ins Succinctly by Joe Booth, you'll learn how create add-ins for Visual Studio, how to test their functionality, and how to deploy them to make you and your colleagues' lives a little easier.
