Managing Projects with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System (Pro-Developer)

Managing Projects with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System (Pro-Developer)
~
Joel Semeniuk (Author), Martin Danner (Author)

Product Description
This book is a practical guide to using the integrated tools in Visual Studio Team System to manage a team-development process. Project managers typically use a wide range of tools—such as Microsoft Office Excel®, Microsoft Office Project, and Microsoft Windows® SharePoint® Services. The Visual Studio Project Management Tools are integrated with the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE), Office, Windows SharePoint Services, and Microsoft SQL Server™ 2005 Reporting Services. This helps enable project managers to continue using the tools with which they are comfortable, yet easily share their development-oriented project data with their teams—allowing architects, developers, testers, and project managers to collaborate in a single, extensible environment. With in-depth product information and insights from early users and experienced Visual Studio Team System trainers, this guide will help you understand how to use this tightly integrated set of life-cycle development tools to help enable better planning, scheduling, collaboration, communication, reporting, and process control with development projects.

Pro Visual Studio Team System with Team Edition for Database Professionals, Second Edition

Pro Visual Studio Team System with Team Edition for Database Professionals, Second Edition
~
Jeff Levinson , David Nelson

It is clear that Visual Studio Team System is the future of development from Microsoft’s perspective. Development is no longer a personal pursuit by one developer in a darkened room; it is a collective effort by a team of peers. VSTS supports this broader vision by providing a complete collaboration platform for the entire project team. VSTS takes a services-oriented approach leveraging Windows SharePoint Services and SQL Server Business Intelligence Suite. Additionally, VSTS brings the life cycle to life by making it part of the integrated suite.

For those seeking to use test-driven development, VSTS is the tool for you. If you’re an architect, there is a new set of domain-specific modeling tools that makes it easy to visualize systems, determine application relationships, and deploy into a logical datacenter. For testers, Microsoft’s new suite of test tools provides a powerful web testing environment with virtually unlimited extensibility. In addition, the new load tools allow you to perform world-class scalability testing.

Even if you are just considering adopting VSTS, Pro Visual Studio Team System with Team Edition for Database Professionals, Second Edition will provide you with a comprehensive overview. Furthermore, you will be able to dive deep into any area with detailed descriptions, samples, and walkthroughs. Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a new way of developing solutions!
What you’ll learn

This book will guide you through the entire breadth of VSTS. If you are a stakeholder, you have a portal that gives you instant access to project documents, status, and performance indicators. If you are a project manager, you will learn how create, manage, and assess team performance. As VSTS is integrated with MS Office, you can quickly assign tasks and gather work status. With reporting from the data warehouse, you get a real-time view of all project metrics. If you are a developer, you will learn how to write higher-quality code, and ensure that the code works and performs well.
Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone with an interest in Visual Studio 2005 Team System. Whether you’re an architect, developer, tester, or database professional implementing VSTS or just considering it, this book will provide you with the answers that you need.

Description

For Windows developers, few tasks are more challenging than debugging–-or more crucial. Reliable and realistic information about Windows debugging has always been scarce. Now, with over 15 years of experience two of Microsoft’s system-level developers present a thorough and practical guide to Windows debugging ever written.



Mario Hewardt and Daniel Pravat cover debugging throughout the entire application lifecycle and show how to make the most of the tools currently available–-including Microsoft’s powerful native debuggers and third-party solutions.



To help you find real solutions fast, this book is organized around real-world debugging scenarios. Hewardt and Pravat use detailed code examples to illuminate the complex debugging challenges professional developers actually face. From core Windows operating system concepts to security, Windows® Vista™ and 64-bit debugging, they address emerging topics head-on–and nothing is ever oversimplified or glossed over!



This book enables you to

*
Master today’s most powerful Windows debugging tools, including NTSD, CDB, WinDbg, KD, and ADPlus
*
Debug code that wasn’t designed or written for easy debugging
*
Understand debuggers “under the hood,” and manage symbols and sources efficiently
*
Debug complex memory corruptions related to stacks and heaps
*
Resolve complex security problems
*
Debug across processes: identity tracking, RPC debugger extensions, and tracking IPCs with Ethereal
*
Find and fix resource leaks, such as memory and handle leaks.
*
Debug common thread synchronization problems
*
Learn when and how to write custom debugger extensions
*
Perform “postmortem debugging” using crash dumps and Windows Error Reporting
*
Automate debugging with DebugDiag and the Analyze Debugger command



Whether you’re a system-level or application developer, Advanced Windows Debugging delivers the deep understanding of debugging that could save you weeks on your very next project.
