Explore the benefits of the latest tools from Microsoft and discover how they can help you develop the most engaging applications with this informative series of webcasts. VSTS 2010 is a major new product release. Not only does it include a brand new version of the .net framework and clr, it also offers an impressive set of incremental functionality across all of the client and server products, to provide an incredible ALM environment for project teams of all sizes. In this session, we will do a quick survey of some of the more high impact changes in VSTS 2010 and demonstrate their use.
Dates: Team Foundation Server is at the center of Microsoft's Application LifeCycle Management tooling, and provides robust services to enable collaboration on software delivery for all members of the project team. From Business Stakeholders and Project Managers, to Developers and Testers, Team Foundation Server provides a central hub that allows users to connect and collaborate using their favorite tooling. This session will drill into the core features of Team Foundation Server and how they work together to provide a tight, end-to-end delivery experience. Dates: From managing the all up project, to delivering high quality artifacts, the process of software development is complex. In this session, we will focus on using capabilities of Team Foundation Server to allow all members of the project team to communicate effectively, manage deliverables effectively, and track changes, using Work Item Tracking. Dates: VSTS 2010 provides Go Live! license support, which means that you can implement a VSTS 2010 solution with support from Microsoft. There are a number of considerations around client tools and team foundation server, and in this session, we will focus on aspects of the client solutions using VSTS 2010, as well as methods to upgrade your TFS 2008 implementation to TFS 2010, including enablement of new capabilities in upgraded Team Projects.
Dates: Visual Studio Team System 2008 is a premiere tool for architecting, developing and testing solutions on the Microsoft-based platform. It brings significant functionality to bear in helping users solve difficult challenges in building complex solutions. Dates: 10/07/08: 1:00pm—2:00pm The Microsoft Developer Network subscription program offers significant benefits to customers in helping them manage their developer tools licenses, in helping them develop and test solutions, and ensure they have rights to acquire new developer tools from Microsoft as they are released. As development and test environments can be very different and complex, so can the possible licensing scenarios be. Dates: 10/07/08: 2:30pm—3:30pm Designing database schemas and managing change on relational databases is a complex task that often involves the use of custom tools, by users with very deep, domain-specific skills. Often, the inequities in the richness of tooling and integration can cause organizations to struggle in delivering on complex solutions. Visual Studio 2008 Database Edition is built to provide an integrated tool to support database developers and help them integrate their work product and activities into the broader processes of solution development undertaken by their organizations. Dates: Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. Dates: Ever have a question about Microsoft developer tools, and didn’t know where to go and get an answer? Looking for quick guidance on how to approach Microsoft’s tooling, how to position Microsoft-based developer solutions, or even how to license them correctly? Register for this open session where you can come online and ask your local Microsoft representatives questions about Developer Tools and the Microsoft ALM solution. Dates: 10/28/08: 1:00pm—2:00pm Microsoft BizTalk Server is used to connect systems both inside and across organizations. This includes exchanging data and orchestrating business processes which require multiple systems. BizTalk-based applications are .NET-based applications, and are built on .NET and with Visual Studio. Dates: Visual Studio Team System 2010 has reached an important milestone with the Beta 1 release. It is now available for download for all customers who want to preview the new functionality provided in the tools and the core.NET framework 4.0. There is a vast amount of new functionality present in the Beta 1 release, so much so that it would be impossible to cover all of the new functionality in a single session. However, we’re going to highlight and demonstrate some of what we think is the most exciting new capabilities for project teams using Visual Studio Team System, including:
Dates: Smart Client applications are applications that can be delivered over standard web protocols, automatically update, provide rich client functionality, and optionally provide rich connected and disconnected behaviors. Many organizations are embracing Smart Client application approaches instead of web client applications, as Smart Client applications generally provide a rich user experience, are usable in many different connectivity environments, and are generally considered easy to develop. Dates: There are many scenarios where moving to Team Foundation Server can provide tremendous value to an organization. In this session, we will provide an overview of the functionality provided by Team Foundation Server, including Source Control integration, Work Item and Defect Tracking, Automated Build Services, Project Management capabilities, Process and Governance, Portal Services, and Reporting. Dates: Products and technologies adoption of SharePoint 2007 has grown significantly since its introduction, and is a popular platform for building internal and external web applications, since it provides an application server environment and framework for building solutions that meet the complex needs of a wide variety of organizations. Because of its central role, it becomes imperative to load test implementations of SharePoint to ensure they meet the scale and performance needs of the organization, particularly with customizations.
