This session is a day-long overview of development on the SharePoint 2010 platform. It is designed for those new to SharePoint, but will prove interesting to seasoned SharePoint developers looking to find out about the new features in 2010. We will begin with a look at foundational topics like Feature and Solutions Packages and then see how we can use the developer tooling in Visual Studio 2010 to quickly and effectively build customizations contained in these artifacts. Over the course of the day we will explore the SharePoint developer APIs, how to build custom web parts, working with SharePoint lists and libraries, and options to access data stored in SharePoint.

Beyond Scrum with Microsoft Tooling By Mario Cardinal

The success of agile practices is now widely recognized. Unfortunately, agile framework such as Scrum requires discarding all the existing processes and starting from scratch which is usually too risky for large organizations. Experience shows that a change too radical and too fast does not respect the learning curve of the teams. There must be a better way. Instead of implementing a canned, one-sized fits all framework that forces a radical change, by extending it with key elements that represents the best of agile, organizations can easily start a continuous improvement process and take advantage of Scrum much faster than they could have imagined.

This training has been conceived to give you a head start in adopting agile practices with Microsoft Team Foundation Server. Team Foundation Server (commonly abbreviated to TFS) is the server side back end platform for Visual Studio. It is intended for collaborative software development and it provides source control, automated build engine, work item tracking and monitoring reports.

Throughout the day, we will examine how to customize your Team Foundation Server to effectively adopt an agile framework that lead to continuous improvement. Learn how to efficiently mix Scrum, visual management and Kanban to create an agile process tailor made for your organizations.

Do not miss this training. Come learn how to improve your existing process and walk away with practical ideas that will enable you to drive those changes in your organization. We will explore well-known practices such as lean, kanban, visual management, and of course, the agile principles. Armed with tools and skills acquired, you can expect to see significant, measurable improvements in your development process in as little as 3-6 months.

Target Audience:

  • Software development directors, team leads, architects, lead developers and anyone aspiring to be efficient using agile software development.
Prerequisite:
  • Concrete experience in building software.
  • Minimal comprehension of agile software practices.
