At the free one day seminar participants learnt how to plan, set up and run an Agile software development project with Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio 2010.

Using a multi-tier line of business application project, Clemens and Michael demonstrated the benefits of Application Lifecycle Management and the Microsoft ALM solution for every role in one’s development team. Participants also saw a combination of hot technologies in action: the Windows Azure scalable cloud platform infrastructure, HTML 5 for the rich user experience and Silverlight for Windows Phone for a stunning mobile experience.
