Visual Studio Team System
- “From a Team Lead standpoint, it looks absolutely amazing.” – Sean McCormack (Visual Studio 2005 Team System at DevConnections)
- “…there are new "Community Technology Preview" builds of both Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and Visual Studio 2005 Team System waiting in the wings.” – Mary Jo Foley (Up Next: New Beta Builds of 'Whidbey' and 'Burton') Yes, there are a few CTPs that are very close to release. Be sure you know which one you’re grabbing when you download it. Also, remember that CTPs are not Betas. If you have a low tolerance to being on the bleeding edge, you may want to wait for the forthcoming Beta early next year.
- “So here's basically what a VSTS install looks like…” – Scott Swigart (Visual Studio Team System: What's an Admin to do?) Be sure to read Brian White’s comment, too.
- MSDN TechTalk Presentation (UK) – 'Visual Studio 2005 Team System' PowerPoint document
- “I'm especially interested in exploring…Team System, especially the source-control and bug-tracking features.” – Roger (Visual Studio 2005 & SQL Server 2005 first impressions)
- “DNJ Online has an interesting article on Visual Studio 2005.” – David Hayden (Inside Visual Studio 2005 - VB C# C++ Team System Express Products)
- “I went through the recent set of Team System slides that show you some of the features of Team System.” – Andrew Stopford (Cool things I like about Team System)
- “I think everybody watching during the demo was more than a little impressed with Visual Studio 2005 Team System, my team leader was shocked.” – Moshe Eshel (Starting the .NET path)
- “Security is perhaps the final frontier for developers as they build applications for the modern enterprise.” – Darryl Taft (eWeek: Microsoft Strengthens Security in Visual Studio 2005)
- Unofficial transcripts from the Team System chats earlier this month:
Team Developer & Team Test
- “These demos show the static analysis features in Visual Studio 2005 Team Developer Edition.” – Visual Studio 2005 Team Developer: Feature Demos
- “In VSTS the static code analysis is performed by an integrated version of FxCop and failure to pass FxCop rules can be enforced in VSTS through Source Control Check in rules.” – 3Leaf Early Adopter Blog (Static Code analysis and code reviews)
- “Security testing has to do a lot with one of the seven da Vincian principles - Sfumato (literally "Going up in Smoke") - a willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox and uncertainty.” – Kintan Brahmbhatt (How to test like Leonardo da Vinci - Security Testing One)
Software Project Management
- In response to Joel Spolsky’s post (December 04, 2004 and December 06, 2004) that asserts MSF is a fraud, Roy Osherove responds, “I don’t believe MSF is the problem here – in fact I believe that it’s a management problem – if you stuff a methodology down people’s throats – they won’t accept it even if it was ‘Do nothing but sit around all day, and fill out 3 reports’ – it’s a human thing.” – Roy Osherove (MSF is a fraud? A response)
- “Here is the slide deck I presented at the Microsoft Architect Forum yesterday.” – Howard van Rooijen (Microsoft Architect Forum: The Value of Agile Methods - Slide Deck)
- “One of the more reliable predictors of the health of a project can be to determine where the schedule came from.” – Iain McDonald (Bottoms up? not really…)
SOA, Software Factories & Domain Specific Languages
- “Microsoft is sponsoring a webcast [link] hosted by John Evdemon to discuss governmental regulatory issues like Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and the Patriot Act and how these issues can be addressed in a SOA world.” – Paul Ballard (Governance and Compliance in Service Oriented Solutions: Update!)
- “Each major shift in software development has promised quicker, cheaper software development will Software Factories be the first to deliver?
” – Ernie Booth (Software Factories)
- “And so we come to the last chapter of Restuarants at the end of the Web. As I stated in the first post, the intent is to provide a framework for talking about the differences between the "factory" approach and how we do things today in the software biz.” – Michael Lehman (Restaurants at the end of the Web…The final chapter)
- “We’re just as interested in supporting well-defined general-purpose abstractions (domains) – constraints are a good example, data models another.” – Steve Cook (Keeping the baby in the bath)
- “…the thought of your models being able to describe things that are unique to your own problem domain appeals to me…” – Chris M (Microsoft release tech preview of Domain Specific Language tools)
Other Stuff
- “Found a great summary on this [Sarbanes-Oxley] today.” – Richard Hundhausen (How Does Sarbanes-Oxley Affect Your Business?) You can find the summary here.
