[Paul](http://weblogs.asp.net/pgielens/) just alerted me to the fact that my TechEd Europe presentation on Continuous Integration with and without Team System is now available online at MSDN Showtime. **Implementing Continuous Integration: With and Without Team System** _In this session we'll dive into a world where the system is built and run on a daily basis, and even on an hourly basis. We'll discuss Tools and Libraries that help you get there with VS 2003, 2005 and Team System. Even with Express tools - it's all possible, and ~more easy~easier than you think. ([more info here](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2006/11/07/Agile-Development-Sessions-_2D00_-Slides-and-Demos-from-TechEd.aspx))_ [Here's where you can see a preview and the full talk](http://www.microsoft.com/emea/msdnshowtime/sessionh.aspx?videoid=327) (You may need to login with your windows live ID, which is why I put the second link after this one) [Here's the direct URL](http://msexp.streamnavig.com/msexp/player.asp?e=E0068&s=0337_en_w&f=0337_en&uid=00067FFE8647AA45&lng=en&cou=msdn) to see the (high definition) video without registration **Related Downloads:** - **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) - **Notification Web Service templates** [can be found here](http://projectdistributor.net/Projects/Project.aspx?projectId=206). - **Continuous Integration web service**  - the CI.MSI setup file [can be found here](http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/teamsystem/archive/2006/07/03/Setting_up_Continuous_Integration_with_Team_Build.aspx). **Some points you'll see in the talk:** - When I show the first automated build, I miconfigure it. Then I get in trouble when I want to change the build configuration easily. Instead, I choose to create a whole new build type because it would be faster. Today I would have solved it with [this free addin](http://www.attrice.info/cm/tfs/TeamBuildAddin.htm) by Attrice. More info [here](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2006/11/13/Managing-team-build-files-sucks-a-little-less-with-Attrice-SideKick-for-VSTS.aspx). - I'm using [Zoomit](http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/ZoomIt.mspx) to zoom into the slides and demos I'm showing. A very handy tool. Though I did find that for the people sitting close to the screen, too much zooming may cause sea sickness... sorry :) - I talk about how the MSBuild team used Test Driven Development to create MSBuild. [Here's an audio interview I did with Kieran Mockford](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2005/03/28/396040.aspx), a PM on that team about that subject. - They cut my song from the end! How uncool is that? :( It's always a bit funny to see yourself on a talk using video. I always see many flaws in myself. I'm pretty sure I'm a little cross-eyed on that video, actually. And I look way too much at my slide for help. I couldn't bear to watch it all... ## More in Agile [All posts in Agile](https://osherove.com/blog/category/agile) - Dec 14, 2006 ### [Catch me talking Agile at the Israeli .NET Architects user group](https://osherove.com/blog/2006/12/14/catch-me-talking-agile-at-the-israeli-net-architects-user-gr.html) - Dec 10, 2006 ### [Macro - Workaround for VS 2005 unit testing build problem](https://osherove.com/blog/2006/12/10/macro-workaround-for-vs-2005-unit-testing-build-problem.html) - Nov 17, 2006 ### [Scrum Certifications are Problematic](https://osherove.com/blog/2006/11/17/scrum-certifications-are-problematic.html) - Nov 17, 2006 ### [Scrum Vs.
