Many of you asked for the slides from the Big Event in Denver.  The slide decks from each session have been posted to on Slideshare. 

The decks and been uploaded to my profile, but are also organized on a Slideshare event page, which can be found HERE.

Just a couple quick tips if you’re new to Slideshare.net:

• You can view each slide deck online, or optionally download it.  To download, click “Get File” at the top of the presentation.  (See screenshot below for an example)
• Animations and slide transitions are usually lost when viewing the slide deck online.

Or, since I’m feeling like such a nice guy, below are links to the individual sessions:

• Development Best Practices & How Microsoft Helps
• Test Driven Development: Improving .NET Application Performance & Scalability
• "It Works on My Machine!" Closing the Loop Between Development & Testing
• Treating Databases as First-Class Citizens in Development
• Architecture without Big Design Up Front
• "Bang for Your Buck" Getting the Most out of Team Foundation Server

Thanks again to all who attended.  It was a very well-received event, and I hope we can make it even bigger and better next year!

The “Day in the Life of Scrum with Team System” event in Phoenix finally has a new date!  It’s June 2nd at the Microsoft office in Phoenix.

Yesterday in Denver, the Team System Big Event series officially kicked off.  By speaking with those that attended, the day didn’t disappoint!  The recurring comment I received was, “Can you guys make it even bigger next time?”

Big thanks go out to the speakers (excluding myself): Joe Shirey, Jerry Nixon, Rob Bagby, Peter Provost, and Ted Malone.

And an even bigger thanks to those of you who made the trip to DTC for the day!  I certainly hope it was worthwhile.

Many people asked about getting their hands on the slides used in yesterday’s six sessions.  I’ll work to get those shared out (probably on Slideshare.net or something) in the next week or so.  Stay tuned!
