Colloquium - Lowy

.NET is more than a set of application frameworks. It is a component technology. When you develop a component-oriented software product, it would be naive of you to expect that the only things you will do differently will be limited to design and technology. The development process itself needs to be component-oriented. You cannot "stare into the fire" of .NET without a mature component-oriented process supporting your development. This talk presents you with a component-oriented development process that you can apply to your .NET-based products to achieve robust applications, manage requirements and ensure faster time to market.
