3rd edition update

We are currently working on the third edition of this book. Since all the content from the second edition is still relevant, we have decided to release a smaller text which supplements the existing book. This will enable us to deliver the update quicker, and it makes it a lot easier for everyone who has already purchased the second edition. Oh yeah, and its going to be cheap so you'll certainly want to pick it up.

Below is the current outline, which is of course subject to change.

    1. Project Compatibility between 2010 and 2012
    2. VisualStudioVersion
