Mastering ENVY/Developer

This book explores ENVY at several levels. The first chapters are devoted to a tutorial, bringing new users and non-technical managers up to speed on the basics of ENVY usage, its unique concepts, and the way it influences team development processes. Later chapters address project leads and ENVY administrators with useful advice and utilities. Finally, the authors delve deep into the internals to illustrate sophisticated toolbuilding techniques and provide some invaluable goodies. These include a "checkpoint" facility for snapshotting open editions in progress, a three-way differences browser, and an entire toolkit of administration tools for scripting common ENVY operations. The accompanying code is available at http://www.envymasters.com.
