I'd like to dedicate this book to my lovely wife Miho, who has supported me through the writing of this book (and through all my projects).
- Jean-Luc David

This book is dedicated to my incredibly wonderful and beautiful wife, Amye. I can't begin to describe the support and love she has provided for me through this process, and I couldn't have done it without her.
I love you, Mom, and Lea. - Mickey Gousset

About the Authors

Jean-Luc David works as a Developer Evangelist for Microsoft Canada. Prior to this role, he worked as a senior consultant, speaker, and author for Stormpixel Solutions based in Toronto, Canada. He has been writing code since the age of 12, and has been an ongoing active participant in user groups, online chats, and developer events. Most of his time is spent writing, creating courseware, speaking, and deploying Visual Studio 2005 Team System and .NET Framework 3.0 to companies in Canada and abroad.

Jean-Luc has been the lead author for several successful books including Professional Visual Studio 2005 Team System, Professional WinFX Beta, and Professional Javascript, 2nd edition, all published by Wrox Press. You can reach Jean-Luc at support@stormpixel.com or through his blog at http://teamsystemrocks.com/blogs/jldavid/.

Mickey Gousset is a current Microsoft Team System Most Valuable Professional (MVP) and works as a consultant for Notion Solutions, Inc., a company that focuses on helping clients adopt and use Microsoft Visual Studio Team System. He also runs the Team System Rocks! Web site (www.teamsystemrocks.com) and holds the position of Web master for the Memphis .NET User Group. Mickey holds B.S. degrees in both Physics and Computer Science from Mississippi State University, and also has the distinction of being in the first graduating class from the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science, a specialized high school.

When not writing or working with computers, Mickey enjoys a range of activities such as playing Halo 2 (GamerTag: HereBDragons), cooking, blogging, and participating in local community theatre. But nothing takes the place of spending time with his two wonderful little girls, Emma and Meg, and his beautiful wife, Amye.

Erik Gunvaldson is a technology development manager within Microsoft's Enterprise Partner Group, focused on driving Software Factories with Microsoft's global partners. Prior to this role, Erik was a Microsoft Technical Evangelist, where he managed Microsoft's Technology Adoption Program (TAP) for Visual Studio 2005 Team System. Other roles that Erik's enjoyed at Microsoft include managing the development of Microsoft's Natural Language SDK and the Enterprise Knowledge Management program for application development. Before coming to Microsoft nine years ago, Erik was a software architect at large mutual funds company and a C++/Unix developer and team manager at a telecommunications company. Erik enjoys spending time with his wife Anna, daughter Katrina, son Lukas, his big lab Joe, and, when time affords, playing golf and tennis

Acknowledgments

I would like to first thank my good friend Mickey for cowriting and collaborating on the book. (May it be the first of many!) Your knowledge, honesty, and dedication are truly inspiring. A special thanks also goes out to Erik Gunvaldson for his technical knowledge and experience. This book would not be possible without the hard work of my editors-Bob Elliott (thanks for your ongoing support), Sydney Jones (my development editor who made the experience of writing the book an absolute joy), and the rest of the staff at Wiley Publishing. I would also like to acknowledge the technical support and encouragement from the great staff at Microsoft-Rob Caron, Tom Patton, Mario Rodriguez, Noah Coad, Ed Hickey, Sam Guckenheimer, and countless others. My fellow VSTS MVPs Joe Sango and Marcel de Vries provided excellent technical edits for the book. And lastly, thanks to my family, my good friend Chris Dufour, and last but not least my wife Miho-for your encouragement and support throughout the writing of the book. -Jean-Luc David

Thank you to Jean-Luc David, for giving me this chance to write this book with him, putting up with all of my endless late-night questions, and making this a great experience. You are an incredible author and a great friend. Next, to all those people who helped tech edit this book: Buck Hodges, Marcel deVries, Mario Rodriguez, Joe Sango, as well as anyone else I may have overlooked, thanks for all of your great feedback that has helped make this a better product. And thanks to Martin Woodward for his contributions and his help.

I'd like to give a very special thanks to the editors and publishers at Wiley Publishing, specifically Robert Elliot and Sydney Jones. Thank you both for your guidance and support. To Rob Caron and Korby Parnell, for hosting that Team System session on communities at Tech Ed 2004, which helped me end up where I am today. You've always been there for me when I needed it, and I will never forget it. Finally, to my departed father, Philip Gousset. Thanks Dad, for doing what you did to make me who I am today. -Mickey Gousset
