    I'm not a dev, so it is the other side of TFS I want to get my hand in

    unless you want to be a TFS admin or release manager. there isn't much to learning TFS....you check code in and select a story it's related to...it all lives within visual studio and is easy peasy.

    If you want to learn that then maybe try connecting visual studio with a hosted tfs project on codeplex or something.

    If you want to be the guy that installs and consults on TFS to companies then go ahead and install it.

    If you have a visual studio professional or above MSDN subscription then TFS is FREE for you, just download it in msdn subscription downloads

    • get items for read only
    • undo updates on checked out items
    • check items in
    Oh and remembering to uncheck the "preserve pending changes locally" checkbox when shelving work.

    You can truly screw things up if people fail to do that correctly come build day.

    Two questions:

    Anyone know of any good reference books and secondly, whats the best way to get a test server to play around with, I know most M$ products give you a trial usage but is it a bit pointless without anything to put in it?!

    On a serious note, AtW have you blogged on the technical and dev setup you guys use?
