Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The content is not only worthy because of Hansen's and Thomsen's thorough explanations but also the playful tone added to the explanations.</a> </blockquote> — Jean "Caroline" Billingsley, Denver Visual Studio User Group</div>

Using Visual Studio .NET (VS .NET) for creating enterprise solutions, authors John Hansen and Carsten Thomsen have chosen to add the Unified Modeling Language (UML), for designing and documenting solutions, and the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF), for planning and managing projects.

Experienced developers, team leaders, and project managers who need a structured way of creating enterprise solutions will benefit from reading this book. Parts of this book can be used by developers (experienced or not) and managers who want to know about MSF and UML in connection with .NET development.

This guide provides an enterprise development overview, an in-depth introduction to UML, and coverage of various enterprise tools included with the VS .NET Enterprise Developer (VSED) and VS .NET Enterprise Architect (VSEA) editions, such as enterprise template projects, Visual SourceSafe (VSS), Visio for Enterprise Architects 2003 (VEA), Microsoft Application Center Test (ACT), and Visual Studio Analyzer.

Not only will you learn how to deploy your project, but also two hands-on chapters will show you how to analyze your project and model it using VEA, and guide you step-by-step through the process.

For most readers, this is a cover-to-cover book, but it can certainly be used as a reference guide whenever you need information about a particular tool or process. Throughout this book, you'll find exercises that demonstrate the topic being discussed, making this book a must-have for programmers dealing with, or those with an interest in, developing enterprise .NET solutions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average book, missleading title., December 12, 2004

By	A. Wiklund - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Enterprise Development with Visual Studio .NET, UML, and MSF (Paperback)

Bought this book hoping it was a good guide to developing enterprise applications in VS.Net with UML (visio); man was I wrong. If you have the slightest idea of what UML is, and you know your way around VS.Net, go somewhere else. It just scratches the surface of a lot of things and you have probably read this somewhere else. But, the reason for the three stars is that if you are new to VS.Net, this is actually a good book. It has a lot of heuristics and guidelines for a rookie developer, on how to plan you project, protect your code and deploy your applications. Not exactly what I was looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good companion to have after you have mastered VB/Net or C#, October 21, 2004

By	John Brunton (Roan Mountain, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Enterprise Development with Visual Studio .NET, UML, and MSF (Paperback)

I have been working with .Net for almost 2 years now. This book is a good companion to enhance your over-all skills as a .Net developer. It really helps to see how you would use UML and MSF to complement your .Net coding skills. There are areas of this book that tends to drag (really, we didn't need the comparison to Rational XDE nor did we realy need to cover Visual Source Safe).

What I would like to have seen is actual documents that would be produced when going through the life cycle as described in section six - MSF (this is where a lot of books fall short).

But sections 1 - 4 (with the exception perhaps of VSS) are real gems. Definitely worth the price of the book.

Good job John & Carsten!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard work, June 18, 2004

By	"johnboy337" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enterprise Development with Visual Studio .NET, UML, and MSF (Paperback)

It must have taken quite some time to get all the information in this book together. A number of topics covered can be found in msdn but there's also plenty of other enterprise relevant information like msf and uml. I like the way the book is written and where the information overlaps the sometimes tedious coverage in msdn the authors present the information in an intuitive way and with many extras. One extra is the way you manually unbind a vs .net project from vss, excellent.
