Seattle Code Camp Presentation

Today I presented at Seattle Code Camp on Coding Standards and Code Review in Visual Studio Team System 2008. The content was a bit of a re-hash of some stuff I've been doing at work with CI Builds and mofiying FxCop rules and at home with TeamReview. While there were only a few attendees, it was still very cool. If you have the opportunity to volunteer for a local meet-up please go for it and don't think twice.

Here's all the content from my presentation including code samples and a team build file - start with the index.html at the root to guide you through. You can find posts on this blog that covers most of it if you look hard enough, ok.. if you look at all.

I didn't get to how treating XML comment compiler wanings as errors works out, or how to baseline your code base by automating Ghost Doc with TheWolf macro that I wrote - but those code samples are included in the downloadable rar file.

Here was the offiical blurb on my Seattle Code Camp presentation:

How to get better Coding Standards and Code Review from VSTS

There's some good stuff in VSTS for coding standards and code review, but how can you use it, and more importantly how can you make it better? In this session I will share my experience of successfully extending and customizing VSTS simultaneously in the open source community and at the enterprise level to get better code by automating the most important code standards and creating more valuable code reviews. Experience, an adoption/implementation plan, and code will be shared.
