Getting Started with Visual Studio Online

Visual Studio Online (www.visualstudio.com) brings together Microsoft Visual Studio, Team Foundation Server, and Microsoft Azure into an easy-to-consume cloud-hosted solution for application lifecycle management. In this demo-heavy session, we will start from scratch and quickly build a solution to manage our code base, inviting friends to collaborate, planning and tracking our backlog, building our project in the cloud, and load testing our solution using the cloud-based load testing capabilities. You will also learn the similarities and differences between Visual Studio Online and the on-premises offering of Team Foundation Server, to help you decide when to use each.
