What is this book about? If you want to use Visio to create enterprise software, this is the book for you. The integration of Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect and Visio for Enterprise Architects provides a formidable tool. Visio offers powerful diagramming capabilities, including such things as creating UML models, mapping out databases with Entity Relationship diagrams, and aiding the development of distributed systems. Its integration with Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect means that C# or Visual Basic .NET code can be generated from the UML diagrams, and Visual Studio .NET projects can be reverse engineered to UML models. For the developer already familiar with UML and looking to get the best out of Visio, the Visual Studio .NET and Visio for Enterprise Architects combination is weakly documented, and the quality information needed to realize the time-saving features of Visio just does not seem to be available, until now. This book presumes that you are already familiar with the basic concepts of UML notation — this book will not teach you UML. Instead, this book will take you forward into the Visio environment, showing you how to make the most of its software related features. What does this book cover? In this book, you'll learn how to Diagram business components in Visio Generate code from a UML model Reverse engineer Visual Studio .NET projects into a UML model Reverse engineer into a UML model without source code Document the project with UML and Visio Design distributed applications with Visio's diagrams Work with Entity Relationship database modeling, and round-trip engineering for database design
If you are a non-technical person with a stake in the success of a software project, this book is for you. Business managers often find it impossible to communicate business objectives and specify their software requirements to technical members of staff. This beginner's guide teaches readers to communicate with software developers in a more focused, effective way. It describes the basic diagrams of the UML modeling notation and shows how they are used to specify requirements in a unambiguous way. When used on project, the risk of failure through unclear requirements is removed.
This book describes the KobrA method, which supports a model-driven, UML-based representation of components, and a product line approach to their development and evolution.
Reed's guide includes detailed coverage of architecting VB enterprise applications and features working examples and step-by-step instructions for planning and development of an order entry system, detailing do's and don't's for analysis, design and construction.
