5 out of 5 stars The right guidance for CRM.......2007-08-27

Finally...a useful MS CRM book. Mike and Jim actually addressed the CRM issues that are important rather than just describing what CRM screens look like. Well written, understandable, useful examples. It's better than all the other MS CRM books I have looked at.

4 out of 5 stars Very Helpful.......2007-05-14

Very helpful book - Gives the reader a precise idea of what can be done/customized with that powerful software. I recommend it!

2 out of 5 stars Not Helpful.......2007-05-09

A worthless book for the most part. It's written to administrators, not the average user, so there is no help on actually using the software.

And if it's written to administrators, all it covers is the obvious that can easily be found in the documentation or discerned by the average IT pro.

So I'm not sure who this book is for.

5 out of 5 stars Worth the Investment!.......2007-04-18

I thought this was a great MS CRM book.

The book is well written, easy to follow and packed with useful info on how to get the most out of MS CRM.

It is definitely aimed at the CRM administrator rather than the end user.
Some programming knowledge would be useful for customization but for most of the book; administrator access and an interest in CRM would suffice.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Informative Reference Book for Microsoft CRM 3.0.......2007-03-28

Working with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 edition is easier to understand and find what you are looking for. I have implemented another brand of CRM and I find it well written even from the viewpoint of someone who is a Business Analyst and not a Systems Administrator. Although, you will need systems administrator privileges to setting up and configuring the "time limited" software on the CD included with the book and you need knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server and Exchange Server.

Because Microsoft Dynamics ERP can now make extensive use of it Microsoft's CRM is a valuable tool to enhancing the business users experience and productivity. Ultimately, learning how to provide CRM's robustness to the end user in a helpful manner and easily navigated will be the challenge of the Business Analyst and Developer. Hopefully, most administrators will simply role out CRM rules based on a set of defined guidelines per work functions or as an application indicate. Ad hoc CRM changes could produce a difficult operational and user environment.

I suggest, extending the capabilities at either the client side or server end for working with outside applications with a Business Analyst or Developer to maintain productivity.

1 out of 5 stars Wrong book title.......2007-05-14

I am going to give a short review for this MS Press book, because at 287 pages, it is way too thin for a mountainous product suite like Visual Studio Team System. The book's title "Working with" set a level of expectation that I can get walk out feeling confident in putting VSTS into good use. Unfortunately that is not the case. Going through the chapters only confirmed my fears - which I got with from the very first glance at the book's thickness - each chapter touches a feature set, and I really mean just "touch" and not "dig deep". Merely introducing and explaning the rationale behind them, the major capabilities are shown as "what they are" and not "how to do".

As briefing material, they are fine. As a practical guide book teaching how to expertly operate and work with VSTS, it carries little value. There are absolutely no tutorials. No source content to get the reader to exercise its features to learn and understand by practical experience. It does not cover the many common scenarios development teams and try to explain how to accomplish them in VSTS. VSTS is a monumental system that is not easy to learn and leverage, and this book has zero lessons of practicality.

Had this book been titled "Introducing Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System", it would have received a much higher rating. Who will best benefit from this book? Project managers and CTOs who want a high-level feature overview. Hardcore development team members who want to learn how to use VSTS to its fullest potential have to look for another book.


Good: High-level briefing on VSTS features
Bad: Covers them briefly; no practical exercises

5 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Breadth-First Reference.......2006-12-18

Microsoft Visual Studio Team system has provided the essential tool set for the entire team to facilitate the SDLC support. Richard Hundhausen's "Working with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System" discusses not just the tool set but also the underlying software methodology, MSF, CMMI and Agile MSF, and provides an concrete and concise breadth first reference to the team system.

This ~340 pages long MS Press book is organized into four parts; namely "Introduction to team system", "Team System for the entire team", "Methodologies and extensibility" and Appendices which contain an elaborate case study. This book provides an outstanding overview of team system and covers the entire SDLC with topics like installation, branching, merging, source control, different team system editions and their significance all the way to the deployment. It serves as an essential reference guide with team system which is Microsoft's effort to provide integrated tool set.

If you are a software development manager, enterprise developer, configuration manager, or a developer who wants to learn about team system without having to read through a thousand page manual, I recommend it as "the book" for you. The writing quality is excellent and this concise and effective book definitely worth to be on every serious .NET developer's must-read books list.

4 out of 5 stars A good overview of working with Team System.......2006-12-04

This book does a very good job of describing Microsoft's intention behind the new functionality available in the "Team System" versions of it's Visual Studio 2005 product. That said, it is disappointing that Microsoft has not given out Demo DVDs with this information anyway. Team System has a significant price tag (especially since many of the same features can be acquired through free add-ons) and one would have expected Microsoft to provide information for free to help people to decide whether or not it was for them.

As far as this book, it was surprising that they left out the "Database Professional's" edition of the software. While that was not released when the book was printed, it should have been on the roadmap and discussed. On the plus side, while it covered the Class Designer, which is technically not part of the Team System editions, the author was careful to mention that fact several times. The reason it was included was because the author was trying to describe things more from a process perspective (how one uses Team System) rather than a product perspective.

The book makes good use of illustrations, is well written, and, surprisingly, does not really push the product instead of describing it.

1 out of 5 stars useless.......2006-04-18

The book does *not* tell you how to work with VSTS. It's a summary of marketing blabla praising Microsoft for what they haven't invented at all. Almost all the info has been used when VSTS was announced in 2005.
There are many MSDN articles really telling you how to use VSTS. This book is *not* for IT professionals. For example it does not contain a complete example starting from requirements analysis to integration testing.
If you are paid for getting software out the door - look somewhere else for VSTS info.

2 out of 5 stars Not what I expected.......2006-02-15

Working with Visual Studio 2005 Team System is less about working with it and more about what it is and what it can do, and even that is not more than a simple outline, just the top of the mountain. I guess I expected more How To's and less what it is. That information is everywhere on MS websites. So I am still looking for some details on how to get it done.

5 out of 5 stars Advanced book on VS 2005 Addins.......2007-01-08

The title of this book is misleading and that may explain some of the low ratings here. This is not a book that introduces you to Visual Studio (which the title seems to imply), but rather it's an advanced book on how to extend Visual Studio 2005. Readers who are not ready for this book, or readers who prefer [...], would likely want "Developing Visual Studio [...]

3 out of 5 stars Good to have if you are developing under Visual Studio 2005.......2006-08-06

As a long term developer, I have used many different compilers and development environments. They are all different and somewhat confusing when you bring them up and are confronted with a multitude of icons and menu items. This book is the only printed material I could find about this version of the development environment from Microsoft Press. I was dissapointed by the length of the manual and it's focus. It is not so much a how to about the Visual Studio, as a technical reference about how to extend the environment. I am glad I bought it and I wouldn't return it. It is not enough information though for a new developer confronted with this powerful and complex development tool. In time there will be other books on Visual Studio 2005, and I will buy them to answer questions that linger. As always, a subscription to MSDN Library is the most valuable reference. MSDN Library however is a huge collection of data, some of which is obsolete, that has been thrown together over the years, like Microsoft's SDKs. In conclusion, the book is a valuable asset when using Visual Studio 2005 and I am glad I bought it. I recommend that developer's buy it, with the caveat that it is not enough by itself. I hope Visual Studio 2005 lasts long enough to become documented to a helpful extent.

5 out of 5 stars A very useful book for what it covers.......2006-07-03

The previous reviewer hates this book for the very reason I love this book. This book covers everything about customizing Visual Studio, and does so in a crisp, understandable way. Visual Studio may not be as customizable as Eclipse, but it's close, and this book shows you how to do it. I agree that it could use a better title.

1 out of 5 stars Of almost no use.......2006-05-04

It's hard to write a completely useless book about a product as complex as Visual Studio 2005, but the authors have managed to do it. The only things readers will learn are the definitions of solutions and projects (which a complete novice could figure out after playing with the IDE for 10 minutes), shortcuts for entering basic programming constructs, and ways to extend Visual Studio by creating macros and snap-ins. That's it. That's all the "work" that is on display. All the details of writing code, debugging, designing classes, performing static code analysis, profiling, and building projects that aren't ridiculously simple are missing (I guess they don't constitute work). I hate books that are purposely mislabled. If the book was called "Writing Macros with Visual Studio 2005" or "Extending Visual Studio" it might rate two stars (and would no doubt sell far fewer copies). Avoid paying money for this title.

5 out of 5 stars 'Must Have' MCMS Guide.......2006-06-19

If you've ever been involved with MCMS 2002, you will know the authors of this title, and the great work they do for the Content Management Server community. They are either Microsoft employees or MVPs and are recognised experts in CMS development.

This book is next in line after the title, "Building Websites with Microsoft Content Management Server". It delves deep into the more advanced development topics on the MCMS platform. To help you understand the topics and areas presented, there is an abundance of code which is essential. The best thing about the code examples is that they are not throw away HelloWorld demonstrations, but real life applications and uses of functionality that you will more than likely adapt to use in your own implementation. That's where the experience of the authors shines through.

As well as pure MCMS content, there are also a number of chapters dedicated to explaining and demonstrating Sharepoint integration points and searching (a major feature lacking from MCMS). For many company intranets, MCMS or Sharepoint are not enough on their own and must be combined to provide a complete solution. This book goes some way towards making the combination less painful.

My only (selfish) criticism of this book is the timing of its release. It would have been an awesome training tool when I was getting into MCMS development!! That aside, the examples given are still very relevant for development today and will offer even the seasoned developer new tricks, give them a deeper understanding of the APIs, and provoke new ideas and thoughts on what can be achieved. Chapters on RSS enabling your sites and integrating Infopath forms to web services in MCMS are two areas that probably wouldn't have been covered a few years ago, but are now hot topics.

The book also includes a number of "essential how-tos, tips and tricks" that are obviously taken from the authors' own experiences with MCMS customers. You too will have wondered how to do these things, and if you worked it out alone, would be cursing not having had this book in your collection at the time.

I consider this book, along with its predecessor, `must have' guides with material for anybody involved in MCMS development. You will definitely get a lot out of them.

5 out of 5 stars Very useful book.......2006-06-06

This book offers a hands-on approach to learning MCMS topics that mimic real world problems. While most books and manuals focus on the ideal or typical scenario, this book explores how to deal with the tough scenarios where the product shortcomings need to be overcome by creative and innovative solutions. Definitive answers are provided to many of the tough questions that every developer asks when delving deep into MCMS. Working code samples make up a significant portion of the book and are extremely valuable in understanding the topics being explained.

A few chapters of the book focus on the integration of MCMS and SharePoint technologies which while being a failry popular topic in industry is not something that has been well documented until now. Integration of MCMS with SharePoint or RSS is viewed as a difficult task but has now been made significantly easier.

This book is meant for developers that want to push MCMS past the typical scenario and get the most out of the product. It is not meant to teach MCMS but to help developers familiar with the product to get to the next level of expertise.

5 out of 5 stars Solid Book .......2006-06-05

This book starts out strong with 3 chapters fully devoted to creating a sample application using the Publishing API. While the code examples are copious they are (necessarily) somewhat redundant. The authors chose to create an administration tool as the most effective means of illustrating the Publishing API's capability. This was an effective technique in that it exposed the core of the API very quickly to the reader, as well as having the added benefit of communicating the purpose of the MCMS Server. If you are uncertain, as I was, on what problems Microsoft Content Management Server may or may not be the right solution for, this book will take you a long way towards understanding the product and its role in the platform.

After finishing the baseline administration tool, the book takes a refreshing detour on the topic of search engines. Rather than going into detail I will summarize this chapter by saying this, if you need a primer on the basics of Search Engine Optimization, give this chapter a shot. I think you will like it.

Next, the authors spend three chapters on SharePoint integration and configuration. If you are using SharePoint as a foundation for your product or the enabling technology for your internal portal, you should consider the benefits of integrating with MCMS or possibly using MCMS in lieu of SharePoint. My experiences with SharePoint have always reminded me of the end of a brewery tour; fraught with bloat. While SharePoint is remarkably feature-rich, it always seems that the average user either isn't interested in the features or is intimidated by them. The appealing aspect of MCMS, from my perspective, is that the Publishing API is designed to allow you to write your applications/sites your way (with some caveats), and still have the added benefit of a tool that handles the administrative duties (transactional document management). I quickly got the feeling that if my singular goal was to manage web content across any number of channels then MCMS was a nice lightweight alternative to SharePoint. In fact, I kept thinking about website design firms and wondering how a product like this could impact the efficiency of their business.

The refreshing thing to learn, for me at least, was that while MCMS can and does integrate with SharePoint, SharePoint is not required. In fact the book does a fine job of illustrating how to avoid using SharePoint altogether.

With SharePoint fully dealt with, the book moves on from that point to discuss the intricacies of the aforementioned caveats of implementing dynamic content, validating dynamic content, and staging static content as well. Also of note are chapters devoted to integrating InfoPath as an editing tool and integrating RSS feeds into yours site, all with full code samples.

All in all, this book was enjoyable. With the exception of the unavoidable SharePoint section, the book was devoted to MCMS development and as such had a lot of example code to sift through. As a testament to this book, I think you could read the code examples alone and get an introduction to the Publishing API. One disclaimer, the example applications in this book are intentionally straight forward. All the sample code is procedural in nature. Take it for what it is, a readable set of examples. This book is not intended to address issues of application design, and if you expect that you will be sorely disappointed.

    Book Description

    Intro Programming course is estimated currently at 150-200,000 and growing. Visual Basic is taking over where BASIC, Qbasic, and QuickBasic once dominated, in the Introductory Business Programming course. That trend will continue as VB continues to encroach on other less progressive languages such as COBOL and the Basic variations listed above within CIS and Business departments. The courses that can be supported by this text are not specific to any one type of institution, since VB in a Business course is largely a functional topic needed by all types of students from 2-4 year, to Vo-Tech, to extended, to even adult education.

    5 out of 5 stars The best Visual Basic book written.......2001-10-26

    Programming in Visual Basic 6.0 is by far the best book for the beginning VB programmer. I still use the book today for quick reference. I tried other books and they just don't come close to this one. Concepts are clearly explained and there are plenty of examples in the book to practice your VB skills. I highly recommend this book.

    5 out of 5 stars The best Visual Basic book.......2001-08-15

    I used to programming in Cobol and I did not know to programming in Visual Basic when I read this book help me a lot. Actually I'm coding in Visual Basic and all my foundation is from this book. However, I believe it is the best books for beginner and low advanced programmer. All the code are easy and simple to understand.

    5 out of 5 stars A great book for BEGINNING programmers..........2001-03-02

    This book seems to get poor reviews for some reason. This book is a great value because of its price and easy to use format. It is true that this book seems to be geared for BEGINNERS, but Visual Basic is a pretty BEGINNER style of programming. If you have programming experience, you may want to try more challenging books. If you are new to Visual Basic or programming altogether, this book is for you. It even comes with a CD which gives you a VISUAL BASIC 6.0 program to use! Overall the value is super. How many computer text books with the program included can you find for this reasonable of a price. So as others may find this book to "simple," I like the overall value, easy readability, and format of this book.

    3 out of 5 stars It is a book for beginner who are willing to be tortured.......2000-11-23

    This is the first book I read about computer programming. I have no problem understanding the concepts introduced by this book. But the errors in the programming examples make this book a very frustrating one. I do not recommand this book for these who want to learn Visual Basic by themself. It is a good exercise for someone who knows VB to find out errors in this book.

    3 out of 5 stars Ideal for small children.......2000-09-10

    I am using this book to teach my 9 year old Visual basic as his first programming language.He has previously had some nonformal experience with VB ( simple games, animations etc with VB ) I find that the Bradley book is ideal for him. It covers the mildly boring bits of VB fairly well.

    ( meanwhile I am teaching my 13 year old Scheme , his 3rd programming language)
