Everybody wants tips on how to deliver great presentations...
Here there are tips from Culminis on how to be a good listener.
It applies to user group meetings, but also to a lot of other kind of events.
Secret Server is a web-based secret management system - it is the place to put all your passwords and other sensitive information and selectively share them with colleagues or team members. It is built in C#, ASP.NET with a SQL Server backend. It also has a web-based installer that developers might
find interesting.
It comes with one free user license so you can try it out now: http://thesecretserver.com
It's the first time for me and I'm really really happy.
I'm in the
Windows - Virtual Machines category, with really smart people that have helped me in the past, like my friend Ronald Beekelaar and all the others.
Many thanks for this opportunity to Microsoft and to all the people from the various communities.
I found an interesting comparison of different Version Control Systems: http://better-scm.berlios.de/comparison/comparison.html
But I noticed that Team Foundation Server is missing.
Here are the links to the original document, with my notes about Team Foundation Source Control:
Repository Operations Features Technical Status - Documentation - it's still in beta, there are a lot of useful information available, also online
- Ease of Deployment - medium - the source control part of TFS needs the whole product, that has many dependencies, like Sql Server, Sharepoint Services, etc...
- Command Set - very extensive but not compatible with CVS
- Networking Support - good (uses HTTP/HTTPS)
- Portability - server can be installed only on Windows 2003, client can be installed on Windows, and there is also a Java client (www.teamprise.com) that works on many other platforms
User Interfaces License - proprietary, binary only license. Five user license included in MSDN Premium.
This list is preliminary, and it can be wrong. Please tell me if there is something to change.
After some days, I plan to submit it to the original site, to update their comparison.
Thanks to my friend Pierre Greborio for the hint about "Per-File Commit Messages".
