INETA: THE NEXT STEP IN USER GROUP EVOLUTION

INETA provides structured, peer-based organizational, educational, and promotional support to the growing worldwide community of Microsoft® .NET user groups. Our mission is to offer assistance and resources to community groups that promote and educate their membership in Microsoft's .NET technologies. INETA welcomes all facets of the .NET user community, from developers and architects to project managers and IT professionals. Members can be user groups or special interest groups that:

• Focus on a single aspect of .NET, such as C#
• Target the entire .NET platform
• Concentrate on other development technologies but are also interested in .NET

INETA is the next evolution in user group communities – a non-profit, independent organization, chartered with supporting all user groups interested in the Microsoft .NET platform. INETA is run by a board of user group leaders, elected by their peers, and supported by Microsoft Corporation and other sponsors.

With Microsoft, INETA will be giving away a wireless keyboard/mouse duo.

Manning's focus is on computing titles at professional levels. They care about the quality of our books. They work with their authors to coax out of them the best writing they can produce. They consult with technical experts on book proposals and manuscripts, and they may use as many as two dozen reviewers in various stages of preparing a manuscript. The abilities of each author are nurtured to encourage him or her to write a first-rate book.

Their books are designed without gimmicks. Their main goal is elegance and readability--the two are often the same. The book covers are understated, decorated with pictures of worldwide regional dress habits of two hundred years ago. Many of the books come with online reader support: authors answer the questions of their readers in Manning's Web-based Author Online discussion forums.

How good are your unit tests?

As the leading code coverage tool for Microsoft .NET software, NCover monitors your code while running under test and reports where your code is being exercised (and more importantly, where it is not being exercised).

Why Code Coverage?

Code coverage is a vital metric for a healthy continuous build environment. By tracking code coverage over time, you can quickly measure the effectiveness of your unit test portfolio.

After implementing code coverage, look at NCover reports to determine which portions of your code need more testing. By building better quality tests, the quality of your software will improve.

Why NCover?

• Analyze Production Code - Other code coverage tools require you to build a specially modified build of your software for analysis. NCover enables you get more accurate results by running its analysis on the same code that ships to your customer.
• Comprehensive Language Support - Because NCover does its analysis at the .NET runtime layer, it does not matter which .NET language you choose to use for your project. NCover will work with any language that compiles to managed code. We've tested NCover with C#, VB.NET, Managed C , J#, MSIL, and Boo.
• 64-bit Support - NCover now supports the .NET framework running on 64-bit versions of windows.
• Time Tested - NCover has been used by thousands of developers since its creation 4 years ago.
• Powerful Reporting - NCover generates comprehensive summary reports that show the coverage status of your project at a glance in addition to code reports detailing the code that could use more testing.
• IIS and Windows Service Support - NCover provides support for analyzing web server code running in IIS as well as .NET code running in Windows Services.
• Code Exclusion - NCover gives you control over code that you would like to exclude from analysis through code attributes and pattern matching.

NDepend is a tool that simplifies managing a complex .NET code base. Architects and developers can analyze code structure, specify design rules, plan massive refactoring, do effective code reviews and master evolution by comparing different versions of the code.

Features

• Code Query Language (CQL)
• Compare Builds
• More than 60 code metrics
• Manage Complexity and Dependencies
• Detect Dependency Cycles
• Warnings about the health of your Build Process
• Diagrams
• Facilities to cope with real-world environment
