P&P Articles Rock!

As many of you may know, Microsoft has published many books and articles on development methodology and best-practices. They generally are under the category of "Microsoft Patterns & Practices". One such article I recommend often, is their boiler-plate explanation of how to setup, manage, and maintain your development environment.

The article is titled "Managing Dependencies" and lives within the chapter "Team Development with Visual Studio .NET and Visual SourceSafe". This is an almost exact layout of how my dev team works, and I employ nearly every recommendation they offer.

This is a Must Read if you are new to team-development under Visual Studio.NET or just need some helpful tips on setting up an effective collaboration environment.
