Using Team Foundation Service

Let’s not beat around the bush.  I love Microsoft’s Team Foundation Service.  At the Alpha Job, we use SVN and I have Tortoise SVN installed to help me manage my interactions.  We used TFS for one project, and I liked it so much more than the Tortoise Challenge.  But, we were evicted from the TFS server due to cheap assedness.  Needless to say, the 5 user freebie TFS-in-the-sky is perfect for my small projects.

What’s great:

  • Source code management! “In the cloud”!
  • Tight integration with Visual Studio
  • Add/Edit work items from the IDE
  • Update work items on commit
  • Agile planning and task board online

What I’m getting used to:

  • Agile planning and task board online
  • Project and team work space planning

What needs work:

  • Work space management tools are CLI tools rather than being online options or available in Visual Studio

I’ve paid for a couple of different SVN services, but like this offering from Microsoft (even free for a small team!) much better.  I’m going to try out the Eclipse plug-in, and understand that I can even connect XCode’s GIT repository to it.  Good stuff.  Good stuff.
