# Agile Development Sessions - Slides and Demos from TechEd

**Historical article** · Originally published November 7, 2006; technical details may be outdated.

**Update**: [here's a video](http://tinyurl.com/todom) that [yosi](http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/yosit/archive/2006/11/06/_E105D905DB05D505DD05_-_E205E805D105_-_E805D005E905D505DF05_-_D105D105E805E605DC05D505E005D405_-_DC05E405E005D905_-_D805E705D005D305_-2006.aspx) made of my draft song before the preconference... Que sera sera...

Yesterday was a full day of pre-conference goodness.

I've had a blast doing 4 sessions dealing with Agile Development within a team system Environment.

As a special treat I've also brought in my Acoustic guitar which I had hooked up to an amp , and after each session, I sang a little "cover" song about the last session's topic.

So I have 4 songs: Agile Development, TDD, Continuous Integration and Scrum. I was really concentrated in the song, but I do remember a million flashes from cameras the moment I sat down with my guitar - it was fun! I felt like Madonna :)

Anyways - I promised and I'm keeping my promise from the sessions. Here are the materials from that preconference:

- **Slides** for all four preconf sessions [can be found here](http://files.osherove.com/vsts/Slides_PRE001.zip).
- **Demos** for the Continuous Integration talk (including the registration tool for event notifications I demonstrated) [can be found here](http://files.osherove.com/vsts/demos-VSTS.zip).
- **TeamSub**:  I made a separate [download of TeamSub](http://files.osherove.com/vsts/TeamSub.zip) - A tool I created by extending an existing tool (I cannot remember the source of it, sorry!). It allows easily registering web services for event notifications without needing to use a command line.  (if you download the VSTS-Demos, it's already in there included)

If you attended my sessions - hope you had fun! If you have pictures of me playing, I'd love for you to email them to me to \[email removed\] !

I'm doing a few more sessions (Agile development Intro and Continuous Integration with Team System) and I'm planning on having a little song at the end of both. This time the crowd will be bigger - but that's part of the fun :)

**Update** \- wish I knew what [this post](http://parnordstrom.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!F684FCFD27421C5E!123.entry) is saying...

**Update**: here's a flickr image sent in by [aali](http://blogs.msdn.com/aalialikoski):
