I havent had a chance to review the table of contents or anything or your book but I was wondering how much hands-on training was in your book? IMO, the utility of an IDE book lies in its ability to make you more productive with the IDE. Some show you every bell and whistle and stuff that as an average developer you may never use.

Thanks!

I saw the book today at the bookstore and looked through it. It gives you step by step how to set things up, and use some of the features. So I would say it is all "how to", which I feel is how a book like this should be.

And there is a sample application used in the book to get your hands dirty
It's not only explanations and screenshots, it's also a 'try it yourself' book.
