Feedback they've received from Beta 2 is being listened to and acted upon. In general, the new features are great but work is needed on performance. To that end, the release is being pushed back a few weeks and we'll have a public release candidate available in February.

I had a great time starting off with Monday's pre-conference hosting an MVP table at the lunch break to discuss the new Visual Studio configurations and deeper integration of ALM. On Tuesday, David Starr and I hosted a Birds of a Feather session "Agile Tales of Triumph, Tribulation, Tools and Teams". The discussion was great and carried over to the adjoining public area afterwards. We literally could have gone all day! Like many of the BOF sessions we had an overflow crowd and some people were turned away because of room capacity. Overall, the BOF sessions were a big success. Thanks to Stuart Celarier, Chris Pels, and Bob Goodearl for a fantastic organizing job.</span></span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, Team Development for All</h1> <p>mikev — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:31:00 GMT</p> <p><span style="font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';">This was a busy week for new stuff Microsoft.

I used material from the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/azure/trainingkit.mspx">Windows Azure Training Kit (August 2009)</a> that includes tons of good material for getting up to speed fast.

Windows Azure provides developers with on-demand compute and storage to host, scale, and manage Web applications on the Internet through Microsoft® data centers.<br /><br />Windows Azure is currently in Community Technology Preview. Commercial availability for Windows Azure will likely be at the end of calendar year 2009.<br /><br />Windows Azure is an open platform that will support both Microsoft and non-Microsoft languages and environments. To build applications and services on Windows Azure, developers can use their existing Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008 expertise. In addition, Windows Azure supports popular standards and protocols including SOAP, REST, XML, and PHP.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">To help developers and architects better understand how to leverage the cloud, Microsoft is offering INETA two "train-the-trainer" sessions for user group leaders, speakers and influential contributors.

If you are at all interested in Iron Python, this is the book to get your hands on. It provides a very complete reference of the broad capabilities of IronPython. If you are new to the Python language or how it is implemented with the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) and Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR), the book provides a great starting point to get your feet wet. From core development, agile testing, ASP.NET, Silverlight, integrating with other .NET languages, embedding the IronPython engine, to Windows system administration, there is a boatload of good information. And, it's well presented for both understanding concepts and to use as a development reference.

<h1>VSTS Big Event is coming</h1> <p>mikev — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:59:00 GMT</p> <p></p> <p>Want to learn more about Visual Studio Team System? Microsoft's technical specialists in the western United States have organized the Team System Big Event. It's a full day event covering all aspects of Application Lifecycle Management. Locations are Denver, CO; Phoenix, AZ; Irvine, CA; Mountain View, CA and Portland, OR. There will be <em>presenters from both Microsoft and the development community, including Team System MVP’s. </em>I'll be presenting a couple of sessions in Irvine. Microsoft plans to pack in each venue, so tell your friends.. </p> <p><strong>Be sure to register below, and download the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mvasoftware.com/download/TeamSystemBigEvent.pdf">Team System Big Event<span></span><b></b> </a></strong></p> <h4>SESSIONS</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Test Driven Development: Improving .NET Application Performance & Scalability</strong> <ul> <li>This session will demonstrate how to leverage Test Driven Development in Team System. We’ll highlight both writing unit tests up front as well as creating test stubs for existing code. </li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>"It Works on My Machine!" Closing the Loop Between Development & Testing</strong> <ul> <li>In this session, we will examine the traditional barriers between the developer and tester; and how Team System can help remove those walls. </li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Treating Databases as First-Class Citizens in Development</strong> <ul> <li>Team System Database Edition elevates database development to the same level as code development. See how Database Edition enables database change management, automation, comparison, and deployment. </li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Architecture without Big Design Up Front</strong> <ul> <li>Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2010 Architecture Edition, introduces new UML designers, use cases, activity diagrams, sequence diagrams that can visualize existing code, layering to enforce dependency rules, and physical designers to visualize, analyze, and refactor your software. See how VSTS extends UML logical views into physical views of your code. Learn how to create relationships from these views to work items and project metrics, how to extend these designers, and how to programmatically transform models into patterns for other domains and disciplines. </li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Development Best Practices & How Microsoft Helps</strong> <ul> <li>Sometimes development teams get too bogged down with the details. Take a deep breath, step back, and re-acquaint yourself with a review of current development best practice trends, including continuous integration, automation, and requirements analysis; and see how Microsoft tools map to those practices. </li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>"Bang for Your Buck" Getting the Most out of Team Foundation Server</strong> <ul> <li>Today’s IT budgets are forcing teams to do as much as they can with as little as possible. Why not leverage Team Foundation Server to its full potential? In this session we’ll highlight some capabilities of TFS that you may or may not already know about to help you maximize productivity. </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Welcome: 8:00 AM</p> <p>Seminar: 8:30-5:00 PM</p> <h4>REGISTRATION</h4> <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" id="table1"> <tr> <td><strong>Denver, CO</strong></td> <td>April 22, 2009</td> <td>Click <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=B3-17-E7-0F-3D-A9-CF-93-D5-46-14-B9-D3-7C-38-D5&Culture=en-US">here</a> to register with invitation code: <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=B3-17-E7-0F-3D-A9-CF-93-D5-46-14-B9-D3-7C-38-D5&Culture=en-US">DD1A7F</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Mountain View, CA</strong></td> <td>April 28, 2009</td> <td>Click <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=74-21-6B-AF-11-28-B7-87-29-81-DA-38-74-DD-AC-92&Culture=en-US">here</a> to register with invitation code: <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=74-21-6B-AF-11-28-B7-87-29-81-DA-38-74-DD-AC-92&Culture=en-US">80D459</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Irvine, CA</strong></td> <td>April 30, 2009</td> <td>Click <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=74-21-6B-AF-11-28-B7-87-DB-CC-81-EA-88-C6-4F-AB&Culture=en-US">here</a> to register with invitation code: <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=74-21-6B-AF-11-28-B7-87-DB-CC-81-EA-88-C6-4F-AB&Culture=en-US">A86389</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Portland, OR</strong></td> <td>May 5, 2009</td> <td>Click <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=74-21-6B-AF-11-28-B7-87-09-F0-F4-7A-CA-9E-8E-67&Culture=en-US">here</a> to register with invitation code: <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=74-21-6B-AF-11-28-B7-87-09-F0-F4-7A-CA-9E-8E-67&Culture=en-US">2DC0A9</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Phoenix, AZ</strong></td> <td>May 7, 2009</td> <td>Click <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=74-21-6B-AF-11-28-B7-87-D5-BB-15-AE-35-CB-41-14&Culture=en-US">here</a> to register with invitation code: <a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/InviteOnly.aspx?EventID=74-21-6B-AF-11-28-B7-87-D5-BB-15-AE-35-CB-41-14&Culture=en-US">90BC47</a> </td> </tr> </table> <p><b>To Register by Phone – </b>Call 1.877.MSEVENT (1.877.673.8368) with invitation code.</p> <div></div> <p><br /><b>Attachment: </b></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>MSDN Developer Conference VSTS Presentation</h1> <p>mikev — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 04:38:00 GMT</p> <p>I really enjoyed the opportunity to present "A Lap Around VSTS 2010" Monday in San Francisco at the MSDN Developer Conference.
