Developers working on Microsoft technologies have been slower to adopt tried and true best practices from other platforms (e.g. object-oriented methodologies, full lifecycle approaches, etc.). 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 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.
