"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."

Get Inside the Microsoft Build Engine

February 13th, 2009

Great news for those of you, who watch closely MSBuild and Team Foundation Server updates: a new book on MSBuild and TFS was just published by William Bartholomew, developer productivity specialist in South Brisbane Area, Australia, and Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi, a developer and architect in Jacksonville, Florida.

According to the author, if you have never worked with MSBuild, this book is perfect for you, as it can tell about the basics of MSBuild (and if you use Visual Studio 2005 or greater, you use MSBuild anyway), and teach you how to optimize and personalize MSBuild. If you are not new to it or you use TFS Build on top of MSBuild, you’ll definitely learn more. Besides, the edition provides a whole range of examples on Web deployment, automated releases, and other essential topics.

MSBuild Book Cover
The full name of the book is “Inside the Microsoft® Build Engine: Using MSBuild and Team Foundation Build (PRO-Developer)”, and it is already available at amazon.com, even with a gift-wrap :)
