Learn keyboard-driven navigation in Visual Studio and ReSharper, using ctrl+left/right to move by word, ctrl+] to jump between brackets, and ctrl+enter to add lines, plus efficient scrolling and end/home navigation.
Master code navigation in Visual Studio with F12 to jump to implementations, Alt+F10 to edit inline, and Ctrl+- to return; search and bookmarks with Ctrl+F, Ctrl+Shift+F, and Ctrl+K.
Discover the power of IntelliSense in Visual Studio, using camel humps and control space to quickly find and call methods like read all lines while implementing a file reader.
Learn fast code cleaning with keyboard shortcuts to delete characters, words, and lines, using control backspace, control delete, shift, and control L, plus duplicating lines with control D.
Format code automatically in Visual Studio, collapse and expand methods and members with shortcuts, inspect indentation, and tabulate expressions using tab and shift tab.
Use keyboard shortcuts to comment or uncomment lines, and apply the same shortcuts to a selection. Rely on version control to recover removed code and keep comments temporary.
Apply Visual Studio refactorings such as renaming across code and comments with preview changes, extract interfaces or methods, reorder or remove parameters, and encapsulate fields for dependency injection.
Discover contextual refactorings triggered by control dot, offering options to generate constructors, change signatures, use expression bodies, reorder parameters, and inline or introduce local variables in Visual Studio.
Visual Studio runs console applications in debug mode with the debugger attached, enabling breakpoints when using F5, while release mode with Ctrl+F5 runs without debugging.
Set and wield breakpoints in Visual Studio using F9, run with F5, and refine debugging with conditional expressions, hit counts, and breakpoint actions that log to the output window.
Explore how to use debugging windows in Visual Studio, including locals, Autos, watch, quick watch, immediate window, and command window, to inspect variables, track changes, and issue commands.
Learn to accelerate coding in Visual Studio by creating and using custom code snippets with the snippet designer plugin, including a practical unit test snippet for a calculator method.
Explore a lineup of Visual Studio and ReSharper plugins that colorize output, streamline debugging, enable Roslyn refactorings, and assess portability and Win32 API usage for cross-platform development.
Demonstrates Visual Studio plugins Roslynator and PInvoke workflow using Penenberg dot net to import a Win32 open function, with refactoring like introduce local and code insertion.
Analyze cross-platform portability of a dot net codebase with the visual studio portability analyzer. Configure target platforms, review errors, and generate json, html, or excel reports.
Accelerate feedback by enabling continuous testing that runs all related tests on code changes, alongside continuous integration and deployment, using tools like NCrunch in Visual Studio, ReSharper, and dotCover.
Install Sharper into Visual Studio by downloading the web installer, selecting your Visual Studio version, and optionally using the Sharper SDK or command line tools.
Learn to configure Visual Studio with ReSharper by exploring options for intellisense, code inspections, naming and formatting, memory usage, caches, and team shared settings for consistency.
Navigate code efficiently with shortcuts for last edit location, recent files, and bookmarks. Explore the codebase using go to everything, search modes, and the file structure window.
Learn how static analysis with ReSharper annotations marks inputs and outputs to improve nullability handling and prevent runtime errors, with examples from the annotation workflow.
Discover how to refactor with ReSharper: quick fixes, extract a method and an interface, rename members, move files, and safe delete, using context actions to accelerate coding.
Apply code cleanup and reformat operations using shortcuts ctrl+alt+f, ctrl+alt+s, and ctrl+alt+l to streamline formatting, file layout, and removal of unused directives.
Practice session demonstrates building a tic tac toe game with test-driven design in Visual Studio using R# and crunch, implementing moves counter, board state, winner detection, and guard clauses.

Modern integrated development environments or IDEs in short allows us to perform miracles. Why? Because we live in the twenty first century and modern computers are so powerful that modern IDEs become indispensable assistants which can save us thousands of hours. A decade ago, no one could imagine how much powerful IDEs will become in the future. However, nowadays, developers are armed by super powers such as deep static analysis, automatically performed refactorings, code fixes, super simple navigation and many other things.
Want to become an iron developer? Then listen to me.
This course consists of two main parts. The first one concerns the features of bear visual studio without any super-powerful plugins and it covers:
Navigate through the code base: how to select code, how to find code, camel humps in IntelliSense, navigating through the tabs
Edit and format the code base: deleting and removing code, formatting, commenting and applying refactorings
Run and debug your code: working with breakpoints, new features of modern visual studio, different debugging windows
Code snippets: existing code snippets and creating custom code snippets
Extensions for Visual Studio: Color VS Output, NCrunch, PInvoke, .NET Portability Analyzer, Roslynator
The second part is dedicated to ReSharper (R#). R# is one of the flagship tools developed by JetBrains. I need to warn you that R# is a paid tool but despite of this fact, the majority of professional developers use it on an everyday basis.
R# is a Visual Studio plugin which empowers it by tons of refactorings, analytical features, fixes and a ton of other features. So, the second part is dedicated to R# and it covers:
Installing R#
R# Settings
Creating Code with R#
Exploring Code with R#
Refactoring with R#
Unit Testing with R#
R# Annotations
This is only an introduction to R#. I’ll update this course from time to time teaching you other cool features provided by R#.
