About this Item

Gebraucht - Sehr gut Auf Lager, SOFORT-VERSAND aus Deutschland, Cover etwaqs berieben, Deckel leicht aufgebogen, leichte Lagerspuren - Visual Studio 2005 Team System is a large and complex product. It is arguably the most sophisticated development environment that Microsoft has ever built. It has enormous potential to improve people's working lives by allowing them to draw together disparate tasks within a single reporting and testing structure. In order to do this successfully people need a guide. The sheer scale of the product makes it easy to misunderstand and misuse. These mistakes lead to lost productivity. This book provides that guidance. It does not follow the path of other Team System books and focus on explaining the anatomy of the product. Instead it walks readers through a fictional scenario containing all the problems that Team System was built to remedy and shows how the product can be best applied to solve the problems of architects, developers, testers and project managers alike. The whole process is covered from inception to deployment in such a way that the techniques learned can be easily applied to reader's own situations. This book brings Visual Studio 2005 Team System to life. TOC:Introduction. Project Vision.- Icarus Travel Bookings, Enterprise 3.1.

About this title

Synopsis

Pro Visual Studio 2005 Team System Application Development brings Visual Studio 2005 Team System to life. You'll learn how to effectively use Team System to develop new functionality for large distributed systems. The book accomplishes this not just by describing the Team System features, but also by leading you through a fictitious, though realistic, project.

The project takes place in a large, distributed organization with a mix of existing systems. Risks exist in the possible disruption of the current business enterprise system, and careful planning and phasing of deliverables are necessary. New and modified applications must work with existing parts of the system as iterations of the project move through testing to deployment, in order to bring the project to a successful conclusion.

While the project progresses, in-depth discussions explain the use of the features by the various members of the team and the features interactions. The author provides highly detailed examples and discussions, including exploration of the design, coding, and test stages. The further you read, you'll see how to develop portions of the application―some coded in C# and some in Visual Basic―together with their tests, installation tools, and design artifacts.

About the Author

Steve Shrimpton was born and educated in the U.K. and obtained a master's degree in physics from Southampton University. After a period teaching, he worked as a scientist with the Ministry of Defence and quickly became involved in airborne computing systems. He migrated to the U.S. and worked in defense and automotive systems in California for 12 years as a systems engineer, circuit designer, and software developer. He also developed a plug-in digital storage oscilloscope product for DOS 1.1! After a period of time in New Zealand teaching in a university, he settled in Sydney, Australia, where he operates as a contract software architect undertaking assignments in banking, finance, medical, and many other businesses. Steve considers himself very much a hands-on architect and a programmer's programmer!
