These development aids typically have steep learning curves (as does the Windows environment itself with Microsoft's tool set). Once you've done a bit of work with them (and perhaps studied a book or taken a class), they're unsurpassed in the degree of control they give you over your Windows development projects. Five main development tools comprise Visual Studio:
On top of the primary development tools (which are well integrated by common interface elements and an ability to share components), Visual Studio ships with a considerable supporting cast of goodies. Visual Studio Installer enables you to write installation scripts for your software. Visual SourceSafe helps development teams manage large projects by managing code check-in and check-out chores. Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) is a freely distributable Structured Query Language (SQL) server that's compatible with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, so you can build distributed SQL applications for growing workgroups without having to buy SQL Server right away. You get quite a bit of documentation and training material too. To put it simply, Visual Studio 6.0 is the best tool you'll find for efficiently creating Windows applications that can interact with the network resources as well as the Windows environment. This is the tool of choice for working inside Microsoft's COM framework. If you're familiar with the Microsoft architecture (or know you want to learn it) and want the latest tools for building within it, this is the most cost-effective way to outfit your workstation with everything you need. --David Wall Amazon.com Product Description: Rapidly build business solutions using Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0, the complete enterprise development tool suite.
