I am a Sr. Technical Evangelist for Microsoft's Visual Studio Application Lifecycle Management technologies. I have the pleasure of working with all of the great people who make up the product development, marketing, and field teams who work on Visual Studio's application lifecycle management capabilities. Every day we strive to help make software development and testing teams around the world more efficient at what they do best: building great software. You can learn more by checking out our book, Professional Application Lifecycle Management with Visual Studio 2010.I also get to co-host a weekly software development news show with my friend and co-worker Dan Fernandez. Check us out every Friday(ish), bringing you This Week on Channel 9.I've been with Microsoft since 2002. Prior to my current role I worked on the XNA team, and before that the Visual Studio team. Before joining Microsoft I co-founded a couple of companies, including 352 Media Group. I also worked at Barr Systems for a while as a support analyst/professional services consultant, specializing in mainframe-to-PC connectivity and printing solutions (useless knowledge now, but it was fun stuff at the time!).When I'm not working I am usually climbing something or making music.If you want to know more, just email me.Brian

TWC9: IE10 for Win7, VS Guides, Image Watch, Tons of Training and more
Mar 05, 2013 at 2:49 AMHa! Well, all Microsoft employees were granted a hardware refresh when Windows 8 came out and we have a couple of months left in our fiscal year to decide which machines we want to get. I think many of us are procrastinating and waiting to see what new machines become available from our IT department - there are a lot of great options, including the Surface Pro which is a sweet machine. Unfortunately I think for myself I'm going to need a workhorse machine for running all of the virtual machines I use - so I'm looking at an "ugly" but wonderful Lenovo W530 (I have a W510 today and love it) since I need something which can support 16GB of RAM and dual hard disks.

Git Support Added to Visual Studio and TFS
Jan 30, 2013 at 10:50 AMYou are correct; Visual Studio Tools for Git is designed to work with any Git repository; local, Team Foundation Service, GitHub, BitBucket, etc.

Jan 07, 2013 at 2:41 PM@ClarkKentX,
Sorry I'm not aware of a single resource to get everything you're asking for in an end-to-end fashion. I've written a couple of books and have some others listed on the right side of my blog which might help: http://blogs.msdn.com/briankel
But again these are really focused at each individual tool and less on one comprehensive process. The problem with trying to write and maintain the latter is that many different shops have their own unique way of doing things so trying to invest in writing about one specific pattern would be of narrow interest and possibly discouraging to others who look at it and realize it doesn't match with the way they want to use the tools. Instead in my speeches and books I try to focus more on how the tools work and how they can be adapted based on the needs of the team/person/situation.

Seriously, thanks for all of the info Greg. I kind of assumed that the Kinect would be smart enough to filter out any noise coming from the Xbox itself, but I wasn't 100% sure. Good to know.
TWC9: Lots of Windows 8, TypeScript, Kinect SDK & Cool Research Projects
