Team Foundation Service Registration code for Asia-Pacific

Brian Harry

I got several comments last week that posting my registration codes in the middle of the afternoon North Carolina time was not very friendly for people in the Asia-Pacific region.  It worked out to the middle of the night and since they didn’t last more than a few hours, they were all used up by the time people woke up.  Tonight I&r...

Configuring a build server against your shiny new hosted TFS account

Brian Harry

Now that you have a Team Foundation Service account, some of you are going to be interested in setting up a build machine to work with it.  Richard Hundhausen did a very nice video to walk you through this process but I’m going to recap it because there’s a few additional things I want to explain.  If you watch his video, it’s higher fidelity than ...

More Team Foundation Service activation codes

Brian Harry

Wrapping up TFS 11 Version Control improvements

Brian Harry

This is the third post in the series on “Developers are Raving Fans” TFS features.  The first post was on workspace improvements, the second on merging and this is kind of a wrap up post that covers the rest of the version control improvements.  There’s a few more that are in progress that I’m not quite ready to talk about yet but this should cover...

Merge enhancements in TFS 11

Brian Harry

Here’s the next post in my series of “Developers are raving fans” enhancements coming in TFS 11.  My last post was on workspace improvements. One of the things we consistently get customer feedback on in TFS 2010 is that merging is still too complicated and/or too limited.  We’ve made several significant improvements in the coming release: A ...

Version Control Model Enhancements in TFS 11

Brian Harry

One of the more difficult things for developers with TFS today is the “Workspace”.  A workspace is a mapping of code out of a TFS server onto your hard drive and defines all of the rules of how your local operations on those files relate to what is on the server.  We’ve heard feedback since 2005 that developers would lik...
