BTS Book Errata
Whew! Was just working through the BTS Unleashed book to prepare a demo for some folk next week and the amount of errors/typos/missing instructions in the sample orchestration project in the second chapter is awful. I had to strike out so many things and make notes in the margin.
I should probably start collecting the Errata and inform Sams Publishing and Scott to correct the errors when they bring out the revised edition. Do you think a collection point like this would be useful to you? Is there one already or should I go ahead and start one? Do send me your thoughts on this.
A strange thing i found was with the Orchestration Diagram and the presence of drop downs inside the shapes! That never happens inside VS.NET 2003 (including BTS SP1). Is that from the Visio ODX designer? I havent tried that out so maybe it is. Its not a big issue for people with some experience of BTS but i can definitely throw a newbie off for a while.
