<\/a>\u00a0 The ALM Days conference (formerly known as TeamConf) is your chance to experience the next generation of development tools for Windows, Web, Phone and the Cloud live.\u00a0 There are keynotes and technical talks by Sam Guckenheimer (who can actually speak German) and me, as well as from many local German speakers like Microsoft\u2019s Chris Binder and independent TFS expert Neno Loje, who just co-authored the new book on modern application management with Sam Guckenheimer<\/a> (by the way: every ALM Days attendee will receive a free copy of this book<\/a>). We also working hard to make sure every participant will get a free access code to our http:\/\/tfspreview.com<\/a>.\u00a0 So if you are from Germany or will be in Germany in November head over to the conference website and get a ticket: www.almdays.de<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2012\/06\/7206.wlEmoticon-winkingsmile_12C7A778.png\")
