[TechEd Developers 2006] Post Conference Material for DEVWD17 Team System Adoption Best Practices

As promised you will find our slides as well as links to the questions that were raised during the session in this post.

 

Additionally here's a copy of the links from the slide deck:

Something missing?

You can find more information on Ognjen's blog. If you think something is missing, don't hesitate to contact me.

Your Feedback

Many of you told us though the feedback forms that there were not enough sessions on Team System in general and that you were missing a session which deals with the "first steps" of driving towards a Team Foundation Server deployment in your companies. We clearly heard that and I will pass this on to the TechEd content team.

Need training or support with your adoption process?

In case you are interested I also offer professional training on Team System (either on-site or at various locations in Europe) or individual adoption support.

PowerToys for the Class Designer and Distributed System Designers now finally work with non-English versions of Visual Studio 2005

 There were a lot of requests in the past months since the PowerToys for the Visual Studio 2005 Class Designer and Distributed System Designers were released, because there were issues with localized, non-US versions of Visual Studio 2005 that these add-in handle correctly.

The great news comes directly from the author dmitriv:

I've just uploaded a Nov 2006 update to release section which should fix the language dependency issue.
To verify that, I did a clean install of Visual Studio 2005 Professional (German) on top of German Windows XP SP2 and verified that it works.

[TechEd: Developers 2006] Post Conference Material for DEV001 DEMO: Adopting ClickOnce for Real World Applications

In the official slide deck you will find a book recommendation as well as a set of interesting link around ClickOnce technology. Unfortunately there were technical difficulties during the session that did not allow me to switch back to the slides, but you can download them from here.

More Information on ClickOnce

Here is a copy of the "Resources" slide:

And a new one:

Windows Installer

Additionally there's a great comparison between ClickOnce and Windows Installer by Michael Sanford available in the MSDN Library.

You're feedback was heard!

I passed on your feedback to do two sessions out of the topic so that there is enough room for advanced topics as scalability and reliability to the TechEd team.

Welcome to Barcelona

After finally arriving to Barcelona for TechEd: Developers 2006 I turned on the TV in my hotel room and was a bit surprised when all what I saw was this JScript error:

Naechste Woche: PRIO conference in Baden Baden

Bekanntlich wird gut, was lange währt. Das kann man der prio conference [1], der "ersten durchkomponierten" Entwicklerkonferenz unter Obhut der dotnetpro [2] nur wünschen. Auch alte Bekannte tauchen auf. Ralf Westphal [3] kümmert sich um den Inhalt, den die 17 sorgfältig ausgesuchten Sprecher kundtun sollen. Darunter unter anderem auch Miguel de Icaza [4], der "Erfinder" von mono [5]. Und organisieren tut's das e-Team [6], welches von zahlreichen früheren BASTA sowie Microsoft-Veranstaltungen, wie den MSDN TechTalks [7] und Technical Summits, bekannt sein sollte.

Meine Themen werden sein:

  • Tag 2, 16. Nov, 13:45 - 15:00
    Code bauen: Continuous Integration
  • Tag 2, 16. Nov, 15:45 - 17:00
    Code bewegen: Deployment

Die Lokation ist alles andere als langweilig: das Kurhaus Casino Baden-Baden [8] und am Abend kann man sich dem Glücksspiel hingeben... Ich bin gespannt und freue mich darauf viele bekannte Gesichter dort wiederzutreffen.
