Customize Team Build 2010 – Part 16: Specify the Relative Reference Path from Ewald Hofman
Ewald continues his terrific series on customizing Team Build 2010 by taking a look at specifying relative reference paths. If you reference a centralized set of binaries in version control from your projects, you’ve probably struggled to get your build working to maintain those paths. Ewald provides some information on how to best handle relative reference paths during the build process. One editorial note: just because it’s common practice to store third-party (or internal, for that matter) libraries in version control for everyone to reference so that updates can be done centrally doesn’t necessarily make it a good idea.

PMI Launches Agile Certification in April 2011 from The Agilista PM
PMI has announced the release of their new Agile Certification and this post has all the details on eligibility and links to the details and FAQs. I’m personally not a big fan of “certification”, but do believe they have played a good part in improving software development as a whole. The problem is in the weight and importance that organizations place on them. Certification can make good managers and practitioners better, but it won’t make bad managers good and won’t make non-managers into managers. /rant
Getting Code Coverage Working on Team Build 2010 from Richard Fennell
Enabling code coverage during the build process requires a bit more than enabling code coverage on a development machine, but it’s still easy as pie. Richard shows you how.
