Today we released an update to our Visual Studio 2012 tools for Git.  We’ve been iterating on these since the first release in February and each release gets more complete, easier to use and better performance.  Of course that same tooling (though it’s a bit older release than 0.9.5.0) is included in the VS 2013 preview ...

Brian Harry
Today we are deploying our sprint 51 build.  You will soon be able to read the release notes here.  Today’s deployment is what I’d like a lot of deployments to be like – nothing particularly big but a bunch of nice improvements.  Probably the biggest thing is the next installment on my promise of an enterprise ...

We are gradually working our way into goats.  Last year we bought a dairy goat and she had 2 kids.  This year we bought 2 meat goats (Kiko breed) and one of them, “Pretty Girl” just had 3 kids.  I thought I’d share some pictures.  They are very cute. Here’s a picture from soon after they were born. (image) And here’s a ...

I had someone ask about this so I decided to go ahead and post something.  Below is the contents of a Word doc that describes our REST API for working with Team Rooms.  It should work both on Team Foundation Service and on a public preview of TFS 2013.  Please let me know if you have any feedback on the doc.

Brian Harry
Last week we completed sprint 50 and, today, the changes went live on the service.  You can read more of the details of what’s new on the service news feed. One of the things I’ve had to get used to with a service is the notion of publishing features that aren’t nearly finished.  In all my years of working on ...
