Title: What’s New in Team Foundation Server 2010

Abstract:

In the Microsoft world, there are small releases and big releases. When TFS first came out in 2005, it was a big release. TFS2008 a small release that gave you some new automated build functionality but mostly just smoothed over some rough edges. Team Foundation Server 2010 is another big release — a huge release, actually.

There are major improvements made in Source Control, Work Item management, and Build systems and, on top of that, there’s a whole new product for software testing and virtual machine lab management.

In this session, Ben’s going to try to cover 10 days worth of content in 2 hours. Think he can do it? Come find out and come see what’s new in TFS2010.
