For many years now Tasktop has been bridging the divide among various systems for tracking work/tasks.  This week they announced some new support for Visual Studio Online along with our new open API announcements. Check out this blog post they wrote on what they can do: http://tasktop.com/blog/news/tasktop-sync-integrates-visual-studio-online-...

One of the questions I’ve frequently gotten from customers considering Visual Studio Online is “How do I migrate my on-premises TFS data to VS Online?” Until now that’s been a tough one to answer.  In general you’ve had to cobble together a solution by checking in the latest version of your source code, maybe usin...

Yesterday, I announced a new set of open APIs for VS Online and a bunch of integrations that have already been built.  One of them was support for Zendesk.  Here’s a very detailed blog post on how to install/configure it: http://www.bfcamara.com/post/85562983333/vso-zendesk-integration Brian

Today we shipped an update (version 1.3) of our plugin for Visual Studio 2013 that makes working with Application Insights from Visual Studio really easy.  Improvements include: If you have any of the Preview releases, you can get the update several ways, including: If you don’t already have the tools, you can downlo...

This week, we are deploying our sprint 64 work.  You’ll notice that there’s no update on the release notes page.  We decided to skip the release notes because there wasn’t really anything new to tell you about.  Why?  A couple of reasons – we released a bunch of stuff at Build less than a month ago, we ha...

Someone forwarded me a link to a blog post that put a smile on my face today.  I enjoyed reading how VS Online was such a natural journey for this person.  I’d like to think Azure would be a great choice for hosting the app, but I’ll be happy that VSO is a satisfying starting point. Read it yourself… http://theagilecode...

No. This is an example of the power of social media.  I had planned to ignore it but I’ve had enough requests for “official confirmation” that I guess I have to say something :). Last week someone tweeted “Microsoft phasing out the TFS version control repository and moving to Git. Unofficially confirmed at a TFS present...

You probably didn’t notice that we did our sprint 63 deployment last week.  I didn’t blog about it because there wasn’t much to say.  We announced a whole bunch of new stuff at Build the week before and there wasn’t much new in sprint 63 beyond consolidating on the Build feature set and preparing for our next event...
