In this session, Brian will show you how to get started with the service, load up code, track your work and run builds.

Do you have a distributed team? Are you looking for someone to take care of your team's source code repository and bug list so you don't have to? If so, take a look at Visual Studio Online. Located at tfs.visualstudio.com, it brings together Microsoft Visual Studio, Team Foundation Server and Windows Azure. In this session, Randell will show you how to get started with the service, load up code, track your work and run builds. More importantly, he will help you understand the pros and cons of moving to the cloud. He'll also discuss how Team Foundation Service differs from Team Foundation Server, and what that means to you and your team.

You will learn:
  • Why Visual Studio Online
  • Should you use it or TFS
  • An overview of all the services offered
