Sql Server Integration Services with the acronym SSIS is a comprehensive ETL tool that made its debut with SQL Server 2005. It is a tool tightly integrated with the Visual Studio 2005 having all the functionalities that its forerunner DTS (Data Transformation Services) had in SQL Server 2000. This does not mean that it is just an improvement over DTS but a product which is totally different with a vastly improved interface; an extensible architecture; an enlarged tool set; ease of integration with other SQL Server Tools such as Analysis Services; capable of supporting connectivity with third party databases and bringing into a central location many database management tasks.

The Complete Reference to Professional SOA with Visual Studio 2005 (C# & VB 2005) focuses on architecting and constructing enterprise-level systems. Taking advantage of the newly released Visual Studio 2005 development environment, the book assesses the current service-oriented platform and examines new ways to develop for scalability, availability, and security (which have become available with .NET 2.0).

It is clear that Visual Studio Team System is the future of development from Microsoft's perspective. We agree. 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 lifecycle to life by making it part of the integrated suite. 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 primarily a project manager, you will learn how create, manage, and assess the 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 real-time view of all project metrics. If you are a developer, you will learn how to write higher-quality code, ensure that the code works, and that it performs well.

Pro Visual Studio 2005 Team System Application Development brings Visual Studio 2005 Team System to life. Youll learn how to effectively use Team System to develop new functionality for large distributed systems. The book accomplishes this not just by describing the Team System features, but also by leading you through a fictitious, though realistic, project. The project takes place in a large, distributed organization with a mix of existing systems. Risks exist in the possible disruption of the current business enterprise system, and careful planning and phasing of deliverables are necessary. New and modified applications must work with existing parts of the system as iterations of the project move through testing to deployment, in order to bring the project to a successful conclusion. While the project progresses, in-depth discussions explain the use of the features by the various members of the team and the features interactions. The author provides highly detailed examples and discussions, including exploration of the design, coding, and test stages. The further you read, youll see how to develop portions of the applicationsome coded in C# and some in Visual Basictogether with their tests, installation tools, and design artifacts.

The content is not only worthy because of Hansen's and Thomsen's thorough explanations but also the playful tone added to the explanations. — Jean "Caroline" Billingsley, Denver Visual Studio User Group Using Visual Studio .NET (VS .NET) for creating enterprise solutions, authors John Hansen and Carsten Thomsen have chosen to add the Unified Modeling Language (UML), for designing and documenting solutions, and the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF), for planning and managing projects. Experienced developers, team leaders, and project managers who need a structured way of creating enterprise solutions will benefit from reading this book. Parts of this book can be used by developers (experienced or not) and managers who want to know about MSF and UML in connection with .NET development. This guide provides an enterprise development overview, an in-depth introduction to UML, and coverage of various enterprise tools included with the VS .NET Enterprise Developer (VSED) and VS .NET Enterprise Architect (VSEA) editions, such as enterprise template projects, Visual SourceSafe (VSS), Visio for Enterprise Architects 2003 (VEA), Microsoft Application Center Test (ACT), and Visual Studio Analyzer. Not only will you learn how to deploy your project, but also two hands-on chapters will show you how to analyze your project and model it using VEA, and guide you step-by-step through the process. For most readers, this is a cover-to-cover book, but it can certainly be used as a reference guide whenever you need information about a particular tool or process. Throughout this book, youll find exercises that demonstrate the topic being discussed, making this book a must-have for programmers dealing with, or those with an interest in, developing enterprise .NET solutions.
