"I really like the way you can access your work items from within Outlook. I like the way you can bring up the full work item forms, make edits, and save immediately to TFS. It was great to create new meeting requests or mail messages from the work items."

Lori Lamkin
Product Unit Manager for Team Foundation Server at Microsoft

"These types of products are important to the industry."

Joel Semeniuk
CEO and co-founder of ImagiNET Resources Corp.

"I know of a good number of companies that will love having something like this - getting their timesheet management into TFS (so it can be reported on, especially) will make life a lot easier for them."

James Manning
Software Design Engineer for Visual Studio project at Microsoft

"I like the idea of being able to link work items to e-mails and meetings. I also like that it provides non-technical information workers the option of working with TFS in a more familiar environment. Congratulations to TeamExpand on the release!"

Jason Barile
Principal Test Manager for Visual Studio Team Foundation Server at Microsoft

"TX Chrono, by TeamExpand, allows users to easily track how they are spending their time, store that information in TFS, and make it available for reporting in the warehouse."

Visual Studio 2010: Focus on Code in Web Development

November 6th, 2009

Hi!

Let’s turn again from TFS to VSTS 2010 and have some VSTS training in terms of getting acquainted of some new details available to make developers happier. I’m talking about settings in IDE configuration.

You know, that when you first run VS 2010, there is a choice of IDE profiles you may use. In VS 2010 Beta2 there are two profiles named “Web Development” available in the list. O, to be exact, one is called “Web Development”, and the other – “Web Development (Code Optimized)”.

Okay. What’s the difference? Actually, the first option is a “Web Development” profile that existed in VS2008, but having some nice improvements.

“Web Development (Code Optimized)” is a new option introduced in VS 2010 especially for developers who have something against WYSIWYG designer, and prefer to be more code focused. So, the WYSIWYG designer is hidden and there is more space on the screen available for displaying code. This also means there is a minimum of toolbars. Here how it looks:

Well, frankly, I don’t see any evil in WYSIWYG, however almost half of the developers I know loathe it, though I can’t unriddle the nature of this strong dislike (maybe this is something genetic)). So, suppose this VS 2010 small new addition will make them happy. And making people happy is not bad at all =)
