Team Build Event in Portland
Steven Borg of Northwest Cadence (Microsoft Team System MVP) took a road trip to Portland to speak to a very interested audience about the new features of Team Build 2008, an inherent and powerful part of Visual Studio Team System 2008.
There were a total of 68 students from 35 different companies in the Portland area. Feedback from the attendees on what they believe was most valuable:
-
“How build automation with Team Build can replace or enhance our current in-house development system”
-
“Step by step demo of MS Build and overview of ways VSTS can help my organization”
-
“Using Team Build for automated deployment”
-
“Learning what Build can do for us”
-
“Tasks that check in to TFS can be traced in the build. This really simplifies debugging”
-
“High level oversight so as to better see the big picture”
-
“References to best practices when using TFS”
-
“The integration of work items and code check ins. Setting up continuous integration”
-
“Customizing the Team Build project file”
-
“Implementing database scripts in build reporting”
At the end of the presentation, there were several prizes up for grabs; however, two attendees were especially lucky as the recipients of Vista Ultimate and a Microsoft Zune Digital Player. But I think it is safe to say, all attendees were winners as they were energized by the dynamic speakers and enlightened as to the abundance of Team Build’s bells and whistles.

Great work guys! Keep it up. I’m sad that I won’t make your CodeCamp presentation this weekend.
