Ed Thompson Talk @ Chicago Visual Studio ALM User Group

Posted by cbkadel on April 7, 2011

Our April meeting just wrapped up earlier this evening – and it was a great talk.  It was definitely great to hear his experiences about being a developer, being a developer working for a company acquired by Microsoft, and being a developer working for a company acquired by Microsoft working on open source technologies.  Yes, that’s plenty mouth full.  Ed talked about how Team Explorer Everywhere fits within the ALM stack from Microsoft and how much effort and focus Microsoft is putting towards supporting developers on platforms – not Windows + .NET.

I think we had a lot of questions and a very good interactive discussion – and as a user group organizer, that’s the best part!

Thanks Ed (again) for coming by – we know it was a long day for you – but it didn’t show.
