In this video, James Price shows how Visio 2007 Pro can be used as the programmer’s friend in delivering a visually rich and interactive interface for their solutions. The first part of the video describes how external data can be displayed in almost real time. The second part shows an example of a simulation where Visio captures data and then publishes it automatically to IE or SharePoint. The result is to show why Visio is a great tool at providing interfaces, dashboards and POCs.

| In this interview with Zhiming Xue at Microsoft, Mike Snell, VP Solution Services at CEI, Microsoft Regional Director and co-author of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Unleashed book, discusses five key issues that typically exist in the application lifecycle management (ALM) process – requirements tracking, code review, unit testing, automated testing (aka black box testing), and continuous integration. Mike speaks each of these five issues from his extensive customer experience and offers his domain expert views and recommended practices, including use of Microsoft tools and systems such as VS 2008 Team System, Team Foundation Server, MSBuild and some non-Microsoft tools such as Ravenflow and RequisitePro for advanced requirements management. If you are interested in improving the ALM process at your organization or for your team, check out this video and let us know what you think. |
