Migrating On Premises TFS to VS Online

Brian Harry
Brian Harry

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...

Brian Harry
Brian Harry

The “big” news that I announced at TechEd this week was a new API for accessing Visual Studio Online (and, in a future release, Team Foundation Server).  This new API is based on REST, OAUTH, Json and Service Hooks – all standard web technologies broadly supported in the industry.  The API is still currently in preview while we take feedback and re...

Visual Studio Online Update – May 1st

Brian Harry
Brian Harry

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...

Is Microsoft abandoning TFVC in favor of Git?

Brian Harry
Brian Harry

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 :).

Visual Studio Online Update – Apr 8th

Brian Harry
Brian Harry

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...
