Hi! I’m Ale Contenti and I’d like to show you here a session on Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) for C++ in Visual Studio 2010 I presented last November at TechEd Europe, in Berlin.

People often wonder how we expect C++ developers to take advantage of the many ALM scenarios enabled in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.

Today it’s true that some features remained tied to managed languages (although we listened you and we are working toward a language parity in that and other senses), this talk will illustrate all the value that is available “out-of-the-box” for managing today large native code bases. In addition, the talk will survey best of breed open-source and free tools that fit within VS in order to provide a complete ALM experience for C++ and provide a peek into the complex ALM world of Visual Studio itself! Join us to see how, with the advent of great language improvements and great native tools, managing a C++ code base has never been easier.
