I hope this video series was of any help to anybody interested in learning about Visual Studio 2010, TFS 2010 and Team Build 2010. The series end here mostly because I have already shown most of what I wanted to show and also because Visual Studio 2010 RC is around the corner and I don’t want to mix stuff of Beta 2 with RC.

If there’s anything you’d like to see (or not to see anymore) on this blog please let me know, feedback is greatly appreciated!

Working with Visual Studio 2010 – Part 10

This is part 10 of my Working with Visual Studio 2010 video series. So far we have covered these topics in previous parts:

In part 10 I show how to use Team Build 2010 to prepare a Continuous Integration build definition for the BookStore application. Continuous integration is a best practice that makes sure that any time a developer checks-in some code a new build is triggered, allowing the team to quickly find broken builds and fix them early in the development process.

As a side note I just want to highlight that the WMV video that you can download from the above link has better quality than the Youtube video, mostly because of Youtube processing of the video which, for some reason, reduces quality and un-syncs the video from the audio. Download the video for the best quality.

Enjoy!

Working with Visual Studio 2010 – Part 8

This is part 8 of my Working with Visual Studio 2010 video series. So far we have covered these topics in previous parts:

In part 8 I create and execute a test case and also record a bug using Test and Lab Manager, which is part of the Visual Studio 2010 suite of products. You can see how to include a screenshot, a video and more relevant information from the test result into the bug, which will in turn be very useful information for the developer.

Working with Visual Studio 2010 – Part 7

This is part 7 of my Working with Visual Studio 2010 video series. So far we have covered these topics in previous parts:

In part 7 I create the user interface for the Book Store application. I show how to create a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application that can take advantage of the Visual Studio Data Sources window and Data Binding. Finally I check in the new project associating it with the developer task.

I intentionally introduced a bug while creating this user interface. Can you find it? Well, if you can’t, we’ll work on it as we switch to the tester’s role in the next video!

Working with Visual Studio 2010 – Part 4

This is part 4 of my Working with Visual Studio 2010 video series. So far we have covered these topics in previous parts:

In part 4 I show how to plan your iteration, also known as sprint. You can see how to specify the iteration duration, assign tasks to team members and check your iteration capacity to make sure the team will not commit to more tasks than they can actually complete.

In next part I will show how to appropriately plan your first sprint and you’ll see some cool stuff in the new Iteration Backlog Excel workbooks that come with TFS 2010. Don’t miss it!
