The coming of the .NET platform has given cause for Microsoft-oriented developers to rethink their traditional philosophy. In this new book, Enricos Manassis takes the reader through a case study for specifying, analysing, designing, implementing, and testing a sample software system on the .NET platform. In so doing, the book presents the reader with an integrated vision of three dimensions in software development: process, techniques, and technology. The book contains a running case study that will help the practitioner examine the making of software from all angles, and the reader will emerge with a deeper understanding of how better software can be built. | | | Features: | |

 Mostly independent of .NETNov 07, 2003
By W Boudville
This book presents an internally consistent software engineering methodology that is contained entirely on Microsoft's .NET platform. A parallel universe of code development, as it were. If you hail from a java-centric J2EE background, most of this book will be familiar turf. Indeed, over 80% of the book is germane to any operating system and language environment. The higher level stages, like getting system requirements or nutting out the analysis model, should be independent of the eventual implementation minutiae. Thus, of the ten chapters, only one, on the implementation model, is truly tied to .NET. (Which suggest that the book's audience is broader than the ".NET" in the title might imply.)Now if you scan a typical book on designing using java/J2EE, you will be lucky to find even cursory mention of any alternative environments, let alone .NET. This book returns the favour; studiously minimising references to java/J2EE. But, as suggested above, on this topic such differences are only at the lowest level. So from your standpoint, if you are engaging in a .NET-based project and you come from elsewhere, this book might considerably ease the pain of transition.

 A Holistic View of .Net DevelopmentJan 13, 2004
With the .NET Framework and VS.NET the higher levels of
abstraction enable the evolving Software Engineer to begin
to focus on the weaker links in the chain of software
development activities. While many will resist this evolution those of us who have
experienced similar shifts from machine code to assembly
language and the maturing third generation languages appreciate
the concrete concepts put forth in this most excellent text. If you want to keep hacking, experience the never-ending death
march's not to mention the managed confusion of software
development, then this book isn't for you !
