While UAG is built to integrate with many environments and publish dozens of application types, many organizations require a certain level of customization to meet their needs.
With this book in hand, you will be equipped to deal with these types of customization scenarios, and you will be confident in using such workarounds without hassle and trial and error.
Written by some of the leading experts on UAG, Mastering Microsoft Forefront UAG 2010 Customization covers the most complex and challenging options for customizing UAG in a way that is friendly and easy to follow. It walks you through various customization tasks, including explanations and code samples, as well as creative ideas for troubleshooting your work.
