Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The promise of software factories is to streamline and automate software development, and thus to produce higher-quality software more efficiently. The key idea is to promote systematic reuse at all levels and exploit economies of scope, which translates into concrete savings in planning, development, and maintenance efforts. However, the theory behind software factories can be overwhelming, because it spans many disciplines of software development. On top of that, software factories typically require significant investments into reusable assets.This book was written in order to demystify the software factories paradigm by guiding you through a practical case study, from the early conception phase of building a software factory to delivering a ready-made software product. The authors provide you with a hands-on example covering each of the four pillars of software factories: software product lines, architectural frameworks, model-driven development, and guidance in context.While the ideas behind software factories are platform independent, the Microsoft .NET platform, together with recent technologies such as DSL Tools and the Smart Client Baseline Architecture Toolkit, makes an ideal foundation. A study shows the different facets and caveats and demonstrates how each of these technologies becomes part of a comprehensive factory. Software factories are a top candidate for revolutionizing software development. This book will give you a great starting point to understanding the concepts behind it and ultimately applying this knowledge to your own software projects.Contributions by Jack Greenfield, Wojtek KozaczynskiForeword by Douglas C. Schmidt, Jack Greenfield, Jorgen Kazmeier and Eugenio Pace.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The Small-to-Medium Enterprise (SME) marketplace is by far the least supported of all businesses with regards to Information Technology. These are not home users (for whom there is an extremely lucrative and supportive publishing industry) and they are not large scale customers who have a dedicated set of 'expert' publishers companies producing professional guides for every conceivable piece of IT. The main problem for the typical SME is scarce money. They rely on technology: networks must function full-time, configuration of critical systems is essential, system and data security are vital but cost-constrained, backup and restore habits must be rigorous, and they need to 'fix' problems quickly and inexpensively. This is where this book comes in. It gives a no-nonsense insight into exactly what to do with Microsoft's Small Business Server, making it easy for the SME owner to set up and configure a fully operational IT infrastructure with no hassle.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 484 pp. Englisch.
