Team Foundation Server<br />Version Control Fundamentals<br />

7.
First, to Clear the Air<br />Common Misconceptions<br />TFS version control is just VSS “version next”<br />TFS is for .NET development only<br />You have to use Visual Studio<br />The Truth<br />TFS was built from scratch to be enterprise-scalable. <br />If you can save it..<br />We’d like you to, but not necessary.<br />

8.
Version Control Clients<br />Visual Studio<br />Team Explorer<br />Command Line<br />Windows Explorer<br />MSSCI-Compliant Tools<br />Team Explorer Everywhere<br />Eclipse, Rational RAD, myEclipse, JBuilder, etc.<br />Windows, Linux, Unix, Solaris, HP-UX, Mac, etc.<br />

TFS Version Control Fundamentals<br />

10.
Changesets<br />Logical container of data related to check-in<br />Uniquely identified<br />Represents a point in time of source repository<br />

11.
Check-in Policies<br />Soft requirements for check-in<br />Extensible<br />Can be overridden<br />

12.
Workspaces<br />

13.
Shelving<br />Set aside pending changes without checkin<br />Optionally revert to unmodified files<br />Restore shelved changes by “unshelving”<br />Unshelve other user’s changes<br />Power of task branching with less overhead<br />

14.
Identifying Code Changes<br />

15.
Branching & Merging<br />Done via several “configurations”<br />Visualization of branch hierarchies<br />Track changes across branches, timelines<br />See where changes have been applied<br />

The TFS Integrated Experience<br />

18.
Integration with other TFS Components<br />

19.
Renewed Confidence in Your Changes<br />Gated check-in<br />Dramatically reduce the chance of build breaks<br />

20.
Check-in Validation<br />Edit Code<br />Check in<br />Build and Test<br />Did build succeed?<br />Fixavailable?<br />Find root cause<br />Yes<br />No<br />Yes<br />No<br />Teamblocked<br />Before<br />

Check-in Validation<br />Edit Code<br />Check in<br />Build and Test<br />Did build succeed?<br />Fixavailable?<br />Find root cause<br />Yes<br />No<br />Yes<br />No<br />Teamblocked<br />Edit code<br />Gated check-in<br />Automated build<br />Did build succeed?<br />Commit Changes<br />Readyfor test<br />No<br />Yes<br />Before<br />After<br />

Project Visibility<br />

24.
Project Reporting is Hard on Developers<br />Adds overhead<br />Tracking code against work<br />Task-switching<br />Providing metrics for reports<br />“Are you done yet?”<br />

25.
For Developers, No More..<br />Loosely-coupling code to work<br />// Date: 1/5/2011// Author: Bob Smith// Reason: Addressing TASK #123 in work tracking system.public List<CartItem> GetShoppingCartItems(){ return this.CartItems;}<br />

26.
For Developers, No More..<br />Switching systems to log completed work<br />

27.
For Developers, No More..<br />Getting call-downs for project status<br />

30.
To Wrap Up..<br />TFS is a full-fledged version control system<br />Default VCS at Microsoft<br />Version control is deeply integrated<br />TFS tries to minimize developer overhead<br />
