Book Review: Professional Visual Studio Extensibility by Keyvan Nayyeri
http://www.alvinashcraft.com/ 2008/ 05/ 04/ book-review-professional-visual-studio-e...
It used to be that if a developer wanted to write an add-in for Visual Studio or extend the Shell, any technical resources were few and far between. That is slowly changing as new resources on MSDN, blogs, and in print continue to pop up. Wiley, via Wrox, recently released an entire book devoted to VSX, written by Keyvan Nayyeri. Keyvan was kind enough to have Wiley mail me a complementary copy of Professional Visual Studio Extensibility to read and review. The book targets the mid-level to advanced .NET developer. I would not recommend it to those new to software development.

First Reviews of Professional Visual Studio Extensibility
http://nayyeri.net/blog/first-reviews-of-professional-visual...It's less than two months of the release of my Professional Visual Studio Extensibility book. Now after this while, I expect to see some reviews about it as two months is a good time to read the entire book and provide feedback. In the past couple of weeks I received two reviews about the book by Alvin Aschraft and on Amazon. Alvin was one of the guys who had been listed as a contact to receive a promotional copy. After receiving the book, he helped to promote it in some ways and I have to thank him here. Today he wrote a review of the book after reading it. In the review he points to the lack of enough documentation for VSX on MSDN and other resources and says that this book has targeted mid-level to advanced .NET developers and recommends beginners to not read it (as I wrote in the Introduction section of the book). It seems that he's satisfied with the content because he writes that all the main chapters of the book are written in enough detail with enough screen shots, class diagrams and code snippets to teach the reader what she's looking for. I'm thankful to read this review from Alvin and appreciate his help and support. Beside this review, I also received the first review on Amazon from Pasquale Argenio with a five rank who has left some thoughts about the book and why he likes it.
