Professional UML with Visual... | Buy

If you want to use Visio for Enterprise Architects to quickly design and create enterprise software, this is the book for you. The integration of Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect and Visio for Enterprise Architects is a formidable combination. Visio offers powerful diagramming capabilities, including such things as creating UML models, mapping out and generating databases, and aiding the development of distributed systems. Visio's integration with Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect means that C# or Visual Basic .NET code can be generated from UML diagrams, thus giving your projects a significant kick-start, and Visual Studio .NET projects can also be reverse engineered to UML models. It is this book that will finally help you to realize Visio's time- and labor-saving features, and unleash Visio's power for your enterprise development. Book jacket.
