10-4 Episode 10: Making Web Deployment Easier
OK, so some of this stuff would have been (and still would be) very helpful during my recent updates to Community Megaphone.

Managing the connection strings, app settings, and other changes to web.config between the dev, staging, and production site was hardly a pleasant task.

In this episode of 10-4, we'll look at new features coming in Visual Studio 2010 that make deploying web applications a lot easier. We'll look at web.config transformations, the Microsoft web deployment tool and web one-click deployment.
