Topic(s)
Audience

Everyone

Branching Merging and Build are two parts of the overall software development cycle. In the Branching and Merging session, we cover industries standard approaches to branching and merging, the pros and Cons of the standard approaches, and how each strategy might fit your company needs. In the Build section we cover how to setup a build to help teams deliver quality software. We also cover how the build and branching & merging (or Code Lines) are all integrated within Visual Studio 2010. We also cover the new features and tools that Visual Studio has to offer.
