I just published a small course on Pluralsight called <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/visual-studio-2019-advanced-debugging/table-of-contents">Advanced
Debugging with Visual Studio 2019</a>. It covers IntelliTrace and Code Map, two features
that are only in the Enterprise Edition of Visual Studio. Many people don't know about
them, so I put together a quick introduction.

        <p>
Here are some of my other current courses: 
</p>
        <ul>
          <li>
            <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/visual-studio-2019-getting-started">Visual
Studio 2019 Getting Started</a> - what you need as a new user of Visual Studio to
start using it. There are a variety of other Visual Studio courses, and pretty much
all of the material from <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/visual-studio-2017-essentials-beyond">my
2017 one</a> is still applicable, so don't take just this one or you'll be missing
some really powerful techniques.</li>
          <li>
            <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/cpp-updating-legacy-code">Beautiful
C++: Updating Legacy Code</a> - I really enjoyed writing this course and if you maintain
old C++ code, I think it will make your life a lot easier. It discusses both specific
patterns to update (and why) and overall strategic approaches (not mechanically replacing
every incidence of one pattern with a newer pattern.) 
<br /></li>
          <li>
            <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/cplusplus-fundamentals-c17">C++
Fundamentals Including C++ 17</a> - this is the go-to course for developers who want
to learn C++ today. Whether you never did any, or did some a decade or two ago, this
course will cover the syntax, library, and best practices you need. If you've never
programmed in any language, try <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/learn-programming-cplusplus">Learn
How to Program with C++</a> instead. 
<br /></li>
          <li>
            <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/using-stackoverflow-stackexchange-sites">Using
Stack Overflow and Other Stack Exchange Sites</a> - we all go to Stack Overflow when
we're stuck. But a lot of us are bad at it, because it doesn't work like other sites.
Take a little time to improve this skill and you'll get better and faster answers.
You might even become one of those high-rep users who others admire!</li>
          <li>
            <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/beautiful-cplusplus-stl-algorithms">Beautiful
C++: STL Algorithms</a> - Stop writing raw loops and you will get more readable code
with less effort. The library has so much waiting for you and this course will help
you make sense of it all.</li>
        </ul>
        <div>There are more, but if you take all of these, you'll be in a strong place as
a C++ developer. (BTW, only the Visual Studio courses require Visual Studio. All the
others work with any development environment you prefer.)

Usually, I start writing product-specific courses during the beta of a product, then
record them after release. But this time around I am happy to announce <a href="https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/visual-studio-2019-getting-started">my
Visual Studio 2019 course</a> is live on Pluralsight already, on launch day! 
</p>
        <p>

          </a>
        </p>
        <p>
If you need a trial code, click over there where it says Click Start a FREE 10-Day
trial (I didn't make the image so I'm not responsible for the missing "to" in the
text.)
</p>
        <p>
It's just over 2 hours long - less if you play it higher speed. I cover the basics
to get you using it properly. Yes, a long and super detailed course is in the works,
but you could probably take the <a href="https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/visual-studio-2017-essentials-beyond/table-of-contents">Visual
Studio 2017 Essentials and Beyond </a>course and most of it will apply to 2019. Things
that are new in 2019 I covered in the Getting Started course.<br /></p>
