"Top-down" design is an approach that the Visual Studio Architect team is enabling with their upcoming release, Visual Studio Team System 2010. In this "humanized screencast" we asked Mark Groves, senior program manager, to show us a demonstration of the new UML designers the team is building and how this can be applied to a "top-down" approach when building software.

Hi,

 

I noticed you used the 2008 version of VS Team Editon and you have the modeling project template available. I also have that version of visual studio but I don't have that template available. Is your version a special release?

 

Regards!

Hello,

 

The video was produced with an early version of Visual Studio 2010, basically before it started looking different than 2008.  You can download our Beta 1 release to see all of what I presented.

 

Thanks,
Mark

Seeing this makes me so happy. I'm an avid modeler and have been waiting years to see this integrated into VS by Microsoft. I just can't wait!

 

Sometimes I feel jealous about it too, because now many developers will have ubiquitous modeling tools within Visual Studio... It's like when your favorite band hits the big time... /sigh
