Master code navigation and selection in Visual Studio with shortcuts: arrows, ctrl+arrow for word jumps, home/end, bracket matching with ctrl+], row insertion with ctrl+enter/shift+enter, and go to line with ctrl+g.
Learn efficient code selection in Visual Studio using ctrl and arrow keys, shift to extend selection, home/end navigation, ctrl w for element selection, and alt shift for block selections.
Bookmarks mark code for later review; toggle with Ctrl, navigate with ctrl k n and ctrl k p, view in the bookmarks window ctrl k w, rename with F2.
Master essential editing in Visual Studio with delete and word deletion shortcuts, cut/copy/paste, whole row operations, undo with ctrl z, redo with ctrl y, and clipboard behavior.
Enhance code readability in Visual Studio by auto formatting with Ctrl, k, D to remove unnecessary spaces and align content with correct tab indentation for clear block structure.
Discover how Visual Studio's camel case search uses camel humps to quickly locate methods, classes, or properties, with lowercase input and keyboard navigation.
Toggle between two code versions using a comment switch by adding or removing a slash-star marker to turn sections on or off, aiding debugging and performance comparisons.
Explore distraction free mode (fullscreen) in Visual Studio to maximize focus on code, and learn keyboard shortcuts to navigate, arrange, and split your workspace for improved productivity.
Run your Visual Studio projects with ctrl+f5 to view outputs in the console. Debug by using breakpoints, stepping through code (f10, f11), and managing breakpoints to inspect variables.
Learn to attach conditions to breakpoints in Visual Studio, using conditional expressions, head count triggers, and loop awareness to pause execution when specific criteria are met.
Leverage actions breakpoints in Visual Studio to print variable values to the output window, avoiding console writes, using curly brace expressions and optional conditions.
Learn to create a console.writeline snippet using literals, with id, tooltip, and default fields, enabling string interpolation and proper dollar-sign escaping for seamless next-line cursor placement.
Create and configure a thread.sleep snippet in visual studio, importing the system threading namespace using an import stack and a namespace tag, and defining a time in milliseconds.
Learn to create a fully implemented property snippet that uses the this keyword to reference a private field, automating get and set, and speeding code writing in Visual Studio.
In this course you will learn tips and tricks to increase your productivity and double your coding speed with Visual Studio!
Throughout the course, in the bottom right part of the screen you will be able to see my keyboard at all times and see exactly what and how I am pressing when I show you shortcuts or tricks. So not only am I going to explain them to you, you will actually be able to see exactly what I am doing. Since my keyboard is RGB, whenever I press a key it will light up and you will see exactly what is going on!
Over 60 shortcuts and tips compiled in a PDF cheatsheet that you can download, print and have it by your side at all times to quickly find a shortcut that you are not yet used to use.
Before you proceed, I want you to have the right expectations from the course! The course will not magically transform you in a speed coding guru! You have to practice and implement the shortcuts that you feel would be helpful to you into your coding habits (this is where the cheatsheet comes into play). Only then the full effect of the discussed material will be allowed to shine and increase your productivity and speed.
The course is aimed at students that want to get more familiar with the Visual Studio Software and/or want to become more productive and write code faster.
The only coding in the course is when we create our snippets (which is done in XML and thats extremely easy!), so even coding beginners will manage to complete the course!
The topics that we are covering are:
For me the highlight of the course is the Snippets section, as this is one of the things that let you highly customize your coding experience and tailor it to your specific needs.
There are tons and tons of tutorials on Youtube and other websites, so why would you have to pay for this course?
The answer is very simple, in this course you will get every single lecture systemized in such way, that it ensures smooth transition between the previous and the following topic. Guaranteeing great learning experience.
There are no stones left unturned, everything is explained in great detail (but not too much, that would be boring :) )
The video lectures in the course are produced with the highest possible audio and video quality. No static noises to disturb you while you watch the videos, no blurry images, everything is crystal clear with crisp audio!
