Preface

Team Foundation Server is a collaboration tool that allows you to host your source code, track requirements, tasks, testing artifacts and more, all in a single package. Integrate it with your existing IDE or editor and let your team work in a flexible environment that adapts to projects of all shapes and sizes.

From team-specific dashboards to complex server plugins, everything is covered in this concentrated guide to aid your knowledge. Delving deep, this book covers the pros and cons of check-in policies as well as their debugging and deployment strategies. After that, you will learn about Advanced XAML builds and TFS jobs. Finally, you will learn about service hooks and VSO Extensions. This will help you create new extensions and explore new levels of customization.

Explore what gives you the edge over other developers by knowing the tips and quick fixes for customizing TFS, and effectively minimize the time that users spend interacting with TFS so that they can be more productive.
