TFS Integration Platform – Summary of Links
THIS BLOG POST HAS BEEN RETIRED - Please refer to TOC: TFS Integration Tools in future.
As with SDLC and with the VSTS Rangers projects, I am creating a treasure map (more like Willy’s cheat sheet to counteract lack of indexing memory) of links relating to the TFS Integration Platform and the associated VSTS Rangers initiatives. Note that the Table of Links (TOL) pages can be found in the navigation bar of my blog for easy access :)
Here is a list of links divided into basic categories and listed from latest to oldest, which I will be updating going forward:
