My friends, I'm voting for That One!

tshirt Note to self: Start a new company. Seven Shirts, perhaps. First product, a "Vote for Obama" shirt that is not so in- your-face. Perhaps it could play off of some of the things said in the recent debate. Rule of marketing #1 - find something people already know, want, like, or are already talking about, and sell it to them.

That is where my new t-shirt idea came from. With the number of times McCain said "My friends" (23 by my count), and his off the cuff reference to Obama as "That One" I thought a shirt was appropriate.

OK, I'm not really making a t-shirt, yet, but I could.

User Group Session: A Lap Around Visual Studio Team System 2010

TeamSuite_Angle On Monday, 13-Oct I will be presenting a session at my local (and favorite) user group, the .NET Developers Association. For this session I will be providing a demo-filled tour of the next release of VSTS - Visual Studio Team System 2010. This is your chance to come and see some of what we will be showcasing at the upcoming PDC 2008 later this month.

Tell your friends, tell your boss (heck, maybe you'll get paid to come). One lucky attendee will walk away with a fully licensed copy of Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite.

 

A Lap Around Visual Studio Team System 2010

In this session you will witness a demo-intensive tour of the upcoming release of Visual Studio Team System. This session will walk-through an example development iteration and highlight some of the advancements, that way you see the new capabilities in context. Expect to see new capabilities being delivered across Team System, including the new Architecture Explorer, architecture layer diagrams, gated check-in, build workflow, branch visualization, historical debugging, test case management and execution, improved work item tracking, and improved support for agile planning. This will be a fast paced, exciting session, filled with demos.
