Previous Editions
3rd Edition, 2012: Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012: Adopting Agile Software Practices: From Backlog to Continuous Feedback
The latest edition was an update. We revised it to reflect the new capabilities and tools in VS & TFS 2012 (especially the ones that support small and agile teams) as well as an updated chapter on lessons learned at Microsoft. (There we only minimal changes to the parts on Scrum and agile practices). 2nd Edition, 2011: Agile Software Engineering with Visual Studio
The second edition was essentially a complete rewrite, focusing on Scrum and software development in a modern and agile manner using tools from VS 2010 (not sure why this was marked as a 2nd edition as this really is more a entirely new book). 1st Edition, 2006: Software Engineering with Microsoft Visual Studio Team System
This was the initial version by Sam and Juan J. Perez, targeting VSTS 2005. What other’s say about the book
