Book Description

ISBN-10: 1430227516 | ISBN-13: 978-1430227519 | Publication Date: March 1, 2010 | Edition: 1

Part of the new .NET 4 release from Microsoft, Oslo is Microsoft’s new model-driven framework for rapidly designing and building software applications. Every .NET developer will be looking at .NET4 itself, and the Oslo.NET component will be an important focus for every Microsoft .NET developer. This book brings the technology to the .NET developer in the same way they expect every other core Apress .NET title to do so, and thus extends this major line from Apress to the new Oslo.NET framework.

This review is from: Beginning SQL Server Modeling: Model-Driven Application Development in SQL Server 2008 (Paperback)

Unfortunately, Microsoft chose to drop the Quadrant modeling tool and the M-language from development based on customer feedback. Since most of this book deals with tools that are not supported, you're wasting your time with it.
