The Visual Studio Extensibility world consists of 3 parts: Macros, Add-ins and Packages. Look at good explaining the various levels of Visual Studio extensibility at Dr. eX's Blog : Visual Studio Extensibility Demystified.
To start working on your extension I would recommend you to keep the following roadmap:
- Learn documentation
- Overview Visual Studio SDK Documentation
- Mostly for add-ins developers: Visit Carlos Quintero's blog and his great collection of Resources about Visual Studio .NET extensibility
- Subscribe to VSX Team Blog and other VSX blogs to be informed about news
- Figure out what do you want to create and what level of Visual Studio extensibility do you need for that
- Download the latest version of VS SDK from VSX Developer Center web site
- Start working on your extension and ask any questions in VSX Forum, where VSX community members help each other.
Keep in touch and happy extending!
