[B]y reducing software development complexity associated with user experience, we hope to ensure that the presentation layer of applications will not be compromised, making user experience a foremost consideration within both homegrown or packaged line of business enterprise and end-user applications, at significant benefit to organizational and end-user productivity. |
But the processes out there, I think, are too heavy weight. |
But, we said with [Team System] we'd expand the focus from the individual developer to the broad development team -- including the architect, the tester and the project manager -- integrated in a way that they can collaborate together and be highly productive. |
Historically, we focused on the independent developer. We wanted to make such developers highly productive. Visual Studio 2005 is no different. |
The developer should not even know such processes exist. They should be baked into the tools. |
To me, there are a couple of unique things we bring to the table. If you think about process, it's a dirty word for developers. But the development team manager says, 'We need to have a process'. |
Windows Vista and the next version of Office will usher in a new user experience that developers can build upon and illustrate the capabilities of the underlying platform. |
