Planning and Leading Iterative Software Projects
Iterative processes have gained widespread
acceptance because they help software developers reduce risk and
cost, manage change, improve productivity, and deliver more
effective, timely solutions. But conventional project management
techniques don’t work well in iterative projects, and newer
iterative management techniques have been poorly documented.
Managing Iterative Software Development Projects is
the solution: a relentlessly practical guide to planning,
organizing, estimating, staffing, and...

983. |  By: Len Fenster Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 09-JUN-2006 Insert Date: 21-JUL-2006 Slots: 1.0 | Writing robust enterprise applications presents a special
challenge for developers, but Microsoft has addressed that
challenge with the free, downloadable Enterprise Library for the
.NET Framework.
Enterprise Library is a collection of application blocks and
guidance documents that together provide functionality common to
enterprise applications; each application block includes full
source code. Lacking in the guidance provided by Microsoft is an
overall roadmap to the process of using the application blocks.
Effective Use of Microsoft Enterprise Library is that
roadmap.

transitioning to agility is an enormous leap, requiring radically
new skills and presenting profound risks.
In this book, leading agile practitioner
Carol A. Wellington introduces the first systematic, three-phase
process for moving smoothly to agility. Just as developers have
learned to refactor code to...

long sword, and one can win with the short sword. Whatever the
weapon, there is a time and situation in which it is
appropriate.'
"Similarly, we have the long RUP and the short RUP, and all
sizes in between. RUP is not a rigid, static recipe, and it evolves
with the field and the practitioners, as demonstrated in this new
book full of wisdom to illustrate further the liveliness of a
process adopted by so many organizations around the world.
Bravo!"

“With the application development community so focused on
the Smart Client revolution, a book that covers VSTO from A to Z is
both important and necessary. This book lives up to big
expectations. It is thorough, has tons of example code, and covers
Office programming in general terms—topics that can be
foreign to the seasoned .NET developer who has focused on ASP.NET
applications for years. Congratulations to Eric Lippert and Eric
Carter for such a valuable work!”

director

ISBN-10: 0321553462 ISBN-13: 9780321553461
"I'm often asked, 'What are the best books
about Eclipse?' Number one on my list, every time, is Eclipse:
Building Commercial-Quality Plug-ins. I find it to be the
clearest and most relevant book about Eclipse for the real-world
software developer. Other Eclipse books focus on the internal
Eclipse architecture or on repeating the Eclipse documentation,
whereas this book is laser focused on the issues and concepts that
matter when you're trying to build a product."

990. |  Software Engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System By: Sam Guckenheimer; Juan J. Perez Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 09-MAY-2006 Insert Date: 01-JUN-2006 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Software Engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System Software Engineering with Microsoft
Visual Studio Team System is written for any software team
that is considering running a software project using Visual Studio
Team System (VSTS), or evaluating modern software development
practices for its use.

software development, which forms the basis of VSTS: its guiding
ideas, why they are presented in certain ways, and how they fit
into the process of managing the software lifecycle. This book is
the next best thing to having an onsite coach who can lead the team
through a consistent set of processes.

You're not alone.
At any given moment, somewhere in the world someone struggles with
the same software design problems you have. You know you don't want
to reinvent the wheel (or worse, a flat tire), so you look to
Design Patterns--the lessons learned by those who've faced the same
problems. With Design Patterns, you get to take advantage of the
best practices and experience of others, so that you can spend your
time on...something else. Something more challenging. Something
more complex. Something more fun.
You want to learn about the patterns that matter--why to use them,
when to use...

continue to be productive. The book also shows how to work
successfully and seamlessly with computers and people who are still
hooked on Microsoft software. Includes full explanations of
alternate operating systems,...

corporate success for its effectiveness to be left to chance. The
stakes are too high. Fortunately, the idea of 'quality management'
is being reinvigorated. In the last decade process programs have
become more and more prevalent. And, out of all the available
options, three have moved to the top of the chain. These three
are:The 9001:2000 Quality Management Standard from the
International Standards Organization;The Capability Maturity Model Integration from the Software
Engineering Institute; andSix Sigma, a methodology for improvement...

Bennatan Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 11-APR-2006 Insert Date: 25-APR-2006 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Catastrophe Disentanglement: Getting Software Projects Back on Track “There are many books available on
software risks and software failures. There are very few books that
provide step-by-step information on getting troubled software
projects back on track. This book provides detailed guidelines for
software project recovery. Some of the steps the author recommends
may be unpleasant, but all are important.”

well-written, interesting book about an important topic. The author
is right in saying that no one else has covered this particular
facet of project...

requirements yet written, the authors have succeeded."
—Capers Jones
It is widely recognized that incorrect requirements account for
up to 60 percent of errors in software products, and yet the
majority of software development organizations do not have a formal
requirements process. Many organizations appear willing to spend
huge amounts on fixing and altering poorly specified software, but
seem unwilling to invest a much smaller amount to get the
requirements right in the first place.

Use ClickOnce to Deploy Windows Applications By: Wei-Meng Lee Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 05-APR-2006 Insert Date: 14-APR-2006 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Use ClickOnce to Deploy Windows Applications
ClickOnce, a new technology in Visual Studio 2005, lets you quickly
and easily deploy your Windows apps via web servers, file servers,
or even CDs. But while ClickOnce delivers web-style deployment of
your application, that's only part of the story. Once you've
installed an application using ClickOnce, it can automatically
check for new updates to the application, which saves time in
application maintenance and upgrades. And on the security front, a
ClickOnce application runs within a secure sandbox and you
configure it using the Code Access Security model.
So, how can you take advantage of...
