Buck Hodges provides some sample code to get you going with the Team Foundation Source Control API. This should help me get started on the Team Foundation version of Strider.

Here’s some birthday wishes going out to the Scobelizer, who just turned the big 4–0! I have a few more years to go before 40 and I hope those are some s-l-o-w years.

Thanks to Josh Ledgard for helping me add a little style to my blog.

I was browsing through Scott Hanselman’s blog the other day and happened upon a link to Adam Cogan’s 3rd Party Tools. I met Adam back in Oct. 2003 at Ken Getz’s PDC party so I was interested to see what he was up to these days.

In perusing through Adam’s site, I came across a list of what Adam terms as ‘Standards’ for a number of different topics including Rules to successful projects, Rules to Better Technical Documentation and one I can use for the purposes of this blog, Rules to Better Google Rankings. He also has a number of great lists for .NET developers, especially Rules to Better .NET projects and Rules to Better Large .NET projects. Although I don’t completely agree with a few of Adam’s suggestions, they are certainly a great starting point for a number of teams looking to formulate a set of standards for their .NET projects, and that includes my new client. This is certainly motivation to start my own list of standards. Thanks, Adam!
