AMP July Meeting - Introducing the New Architecture Tools in Visual Studio 2010 July 6, 2009

Presentation Title: Introducing the New Architecture Tools in Visual Studio 2010

Presentation Overview:
The Architecture tools in Visual Studio 2010 represent a complete departure from what was previously offered. Building on the popularity of the Class Designer, Dev 10 adds standard UML models (Class, Sequence, Activity, and Component) plus the Logical Class Designer and the Layer Diagram. In addition the Architect Explorer builds a graphical view of your code and dependencies allowing you to navigate your application’s source with ease.

In this presentation we’ll explore the various models, and how you can use them not only for new development, but how they can help you wrap your arms around existing code and aid in architectural refactoring.
