I am completely new to creating Windows applications so I bought Professional Visual Studio 2010 to get started, but it's basically an overview of working with Visual Studio 2010 and not the "build an app from scratch for dummies" book I thought it was going to be.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book that offers a beginner level walk-through of creating a Windows application in C# from scratch so I can see the whole process from start to finish. Doing this by myself, it's much easier for me to learn by doing than to learn by theory.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Take a look at Sams Teach Yourself Visual C# 2010 in 24 Hours.
Disclaimer: I am the author of the referenced book, so this is obviously a slightly biased answer.

I am trying to create a cross-platform project to build an app to be running on Microsoft Surface, and I m new to this area.
I googled some tutorials online and they all say that you go to new project, select Cross-Platform, you will see Cross Platform app (Xamarin), Class Library (Xamarin.Forms) and so on.
But when I select Cross-Platform, I only see ONE option: Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms). Is it the new feature or am I missing some components in VS.
If it is a new feature, is there any tutorial regarding how to create an windows surface app using it?
Probably this is an easy question but a million thanks to you!
Microsoft works constantly on Xamarin, so templates for cross-platform projects may change every time you update your Visual Studio.
Try to check the date of your tutorial
Choose recent tutorials
Watch videos on Xamarin youtube channel
Use the Microsoft documentation website for recent tutorials :

Due to some reasons I'm unable to use TFS scrum board, though I'm using TFS itself. Are there any tools/plugins which offer similar integration with TFS tasks? The only one I found is Scrum Power Tools, but it's in my opinion insufficient and not so good quality. Are there any alternatives to TFS scrum board?
If you are still looking, Eylean Board offers a two way integration with TFS. All the information is shared and updated in both systems, so you can use the scrum board in Eylean and have all the information updated in TFS.
Besides the scrum board itself, it allows to add various information and details to the tasks, track time and generates reports for your convenience.
Try SEP Teamworks by sep.com. I saw it somewhere recently and it looked ok.
I am prefer Work Item Manager and Project Dashboard from Telerik. I like for aggregation features, it is useful when you need review tasks of other developers.

I wants to know in detail about how to debug efficiently in visual studio IDE. For this I wants to know the name of any good book on Visual studio IDE in relevant to C++ not C#.
I do need suggestion on this.
Thanks!
It's not a book, but a good link from ScottGu on this subject: Debugging Tips with Visual Studio 2010
John Robbin's book was pretty good for all-purpose debugging.
I don't know about this book being used for a simple UI tutorial, but he gives a lot of information about how to get a debugger anywhere you need it, and what sorts of things are useful to look at.

I have just started to learn C++, and I would like to learn how to make Windows Forms C++ applications.
Could anyone recommend some good ebooks?
I have a small converter program that I have made. It runs from the console, but I would like to make a nice GUI for it.
The form is quickly made in Visual Studio, but then I need to insert some code. This is were I got stuck.
I haven't been able to find any tutorial. Well found some, but they used C# or VB.NET.
As jdehaan said, Windows Forms is a .NET component and is not pure C++, it is definitely different. If you need to decide which to use, the book Beginning Visual C++ 2008 was helpful for me, as it teaches C++/CLI and regular Windows C++ forms. I'm not sure how hard this would be to find online.
If you are serious about Windows Forms programming and do not need easy interoperability between native and managed code, I would definitely suggest you just go with learning C#. Visual C++ feels Frankenstein-ish to me, and support is definitely waning in the editor. The managed versions of the languages are so similar that if you are going to learn .NET, C# would be the better choice.

I have recently started using Coldbox and Kohana frameworks in my projects, but cannot make my mind about a visual tool to document the project. I am using Visual Paradigm (UML) and yEd (free-form), but will be happy to try something else if it makes capturing MVC-like relationships among elements easier.
Any suggestion on visual tools (and best practices) for documenting MVC projects are much appreciated.
I like Violet for UML modeling. It's simple and lightweight, but gives me everything I need. (I'm actually working on a big class diagram right now.)
