92 Tutorial Video’s on Visual Studio Team System 2008 (Getting Started)

I know with all the noise about the next version of Visual Studio Team System code named Rosario it seems weird to have a post on how to get started on VSTS 2008 – but i have had three requests for this type of information in the last two days.

The first place i would recommend starting is the Hands on labs Brian Randell (MCW Technologies) built into the Public Ready VPC found at:

The next place i would recommend is one of the 47 video Tutorials Notion has created at:

• http://teamsystemrocks.com/tutorials/default.aspx (also pasted below)

Followed by the VSTS How Do I videos by Richard Hundhausen (Accentient)

• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts2008/test/bb507749.aspx

Finally don’t forget the VSTS Website and MSDN Library
