Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 Branching Guide

The following guide is a very helpful resource. I recommend that you read it and determine the branching strategy that you want to use before you setup your team projects.

NuGet

NuGet is a free, open source developer focused package management system for the .NET platform intent on simplifying the process of incorporating third party libraries into a .NET application during development.

I haven’t used it but the example of incorporating ELMAH (a library that I use in almost all of my solutions) into a project hit home.

I will certainly give it a try on my next project.
