So, our book, Professional Application Lifecycle Management with Visual Studio 2010, has been out a couple of weeks now. It is doing well. We are currently in the Top 10 books on Software Development at Amazon. And it has garnered good reviews as well, both at Amazon and other sites:

Have you seen a Visual Studio 2010 or Team Foundation Server 2010 presentation lately? If so, you’ve probably seen the snazzy Powerpoint backgrounds in those slide decks.
Now, thanks to Doug Seven and Siddharth Bhatia, Team System Rocks is able to make those Powerpoint template files available to everyone. We have both light and dark versions available, in both 4×3 and 16×9.
So go grab the files and make some presentations. And leave a comment if you find them helpful.
