In search of simplicity, quality and tranquility in software engineering

2009/05/11 – Updated with latest MOSS guidance information. Also see http://blogs.msdn.com/echarran/archive/2009/05/11/info-recent-technical-articles.aspx.

Important guidance packages for MOSS TFS development, posted on Team System Home and Application Lifecycle Management Resource Center for SharePoint Server.

The two whitepapers are:

• VSTS Rangers - SharePoint Server Custom Application Development: Document Workflow Management Project
• Read about the real-world design, construction, and deployment of a custom SharePoint Server 2007 application to a mid-market enterprise customer using Team Foundation Server as an ALM platform.
• VSTS Rangers - Using Team Foundation Server to Develop Custom SharePoint Products and Technologies Applications
• Learn how to use TFS to support your SharePoint application development, and provide an integrated development environment and single source code repository for process activities, integrated progress reporting, and team roles.

Combined with the following guidance from P&P posted here, we have a good and almost complete story for our customers and partners. The two teams worked together to align these stories.
