Learn To Love Your Builds Again With Rake and TeamCity - Sean Carpenter
Automating a build is composed of many steps including compilation, testing, configuration management, and deployment. Trying to configure all of these steps using an XML-based "programming language" like NAnt or MSBuild can be a nightmare. Using the combination of Ruby's expressiveness as an actual programming language and Rake's power can turn this nightmare into a joy. Couple this with the simplicity of TeamCity and automated, repeatable, verifiable builds are yours. This session will cover setting up a Rake build (including configuration management and testing) and configuring TeamCity to execute that build as part of a continuous integration strategy.

Using Git & GitHub Source Control for .NET Development  - JP Toto
Git is a free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do. Learn how using Git and GitHub can benefit teams small and large and how it encourages participation in publicly hosted projects!
