Visual Studio Launch and What it Means to Me
I’ve been playing this Software Development game for almost 15 years now yet I can’t deny that I still get excited about new technology. This is the week of the Visual Studio 2005 Launch (along with its close cousins SQL Server and BizTalk 2006). I’ve been working with these products for more than a year now – traveling all over the world educating customers and helping them understand how these products can be adopted and leveraged in their world. Some customers simply can’t wait for the next version of SQL Server; others believe Team System will be extremely valuable to their organization. If there is one thing I’ve found over the last year+ is that every customer truly has distinct and specific needs.

Problem with GDN and the PTE bits...
There is a membership limit with the GDN site I created for the Process Template Editor. More people are knocking than I can let in. I've asked for more options from the GDN team.

Security Webcasts in November 2005
As you may or may not know, I used to present a whack of webcasts on Security and .NET. Of course, this stuff is out of date when it comes to Visual Studio 2005 and related technologies. If you are interested in Security there is going to be another whack of webcasts focused on Security in November. Unfortunately I won't be presenting, however, I know some of the presenters - top notch material. You can see the list of webcasts at:

Lap Around Team System...
I get asked a lot of "what the heck does Team System do.." type questions. There are big expectations out there and it seems that Team System will be everything to all people. A fellow RD Derek Hatchard joked that he's heard that Team System "...filters out accents for offshore outsourcing shops and removes meat product references for vegetarian coders"

Victoria .NET UG VSTS Topics Anyone?
I’m going to be in beautiful Victoria (BC) to present at the .NET UG on October 4th to talk on Team System on behalf of INETA. Of course, I could present on something pre-canned but that would be boring… If you are planning to attend, why don’t you send me your feedback on what topics you would like to discuss and we can customize the session to exactly what you would like to see. I can drill as deep as you want to go on any topic…so go nuts.

There have been some interesting comments about my last blog post on CMMI so I thought I would do a follow-up post to put more of my interpretation on these.
