DB Professionals join the team - VS Team Edition for DB Developers!
I think VSTS and TFS was a one of the great and very thoughtful releases made by Microsoft to work in a single integrated and collaborative environement and for better application life cycle management.But the developer edition was so far focussing on .NET developers, and this has made me wonder as how can VSTS be used practically for end to end developement without a proper place for DB developers to develop, test and collaborate.
But the good news is that MS would releasing VS Team Edition for DB Professionals very soon:)
This would allow DB developers to
- Take Control of Database Change
- Automate Database Testing to Improve Quality
- Improve Collaboration and Communication

This would be a part of the Visual Studio Team Suite, so any subscriber of Visual Studio Team Suite would get this free when the RTM is released.
And people can subscribe to this separately as well with some price attached.
The CTP would be released in TechEd on June 11th.

This is an excellent move!
