Knowing your IDE

I have spent the last couple days going through Visual Studio and figuring out what everything is.

I attended a seminar last week on a new .NET language and learned many things about Visual Studio, ... it made me realize just how much I didn't know about the IDE itself.

The problem was that I was focusing so much on C# with the mindset that C# and Visual Studio are one.

Of course I knew they were different, but never realized just how complex the IDE really is, and how much of it works the same for all the .NET languages.

I've read many books and none of them stress how important it is to understand your tools well before you begin using them ( unless i skipped past that chapter ) however I do think that much of it would not have made sense if I hadn't been coding/studying a lot of c# until now.

It's definately something worth thinking about .. I just thought I'd mention it .. not much else goin on around here

Maybe tomorrow I'll tackle Zend Studio.
