4.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant, 7 Aug 2000
If there's one fault I can pick with this package it's that it's too comprehensive. Covering Visual C++, Visual J++ (until MS phase it out), FoxPro, Visual Basic, InterDev, SourceSafe and more this is the all-in-one package that the every Windows developer should own. InterDev draws the whole complicated affair together and the learning curve is quite steep, but oncve you mastered the basics the level of integration is stunning. All of the pieces fit together beautifully well and the degree of control handed to the user for code creation in the visual environment, debugging and maintenance is far better than anything I've used in the past. The inclusion of tools such as Visual SourceSafe allow multiple users to work on the same codebase without trampling all over one another's work - which is nice ... All-in-all a top flight pacakge, I suspect for many, many people it may be seriously over-the-top but for the serious developer this can't be beaten. Shame there's no proper paper documentation though ....
