November, 2013

The yearly Microsoft MVP Global Summit will lift its curtain on Nov 17th in Bellevue, WA.  This year, we have prepared three new apps and many new samples in response to MVPs’ feedbacks last year.  If you are attending this year’s Microsoft MVP Global Summit, you will have the privilege to kiss or bite their development team  

• Sample Browser Windows Phone app – with 6000+ MSDN code samples which will be at your fingertips anytime and anywhere.
• Script Explorer for PowerShell ISE – with 8000+ script sample which will be at your fingertips when you are writing scripts in PowerShell ISE.
• PowerShell checkin policy for TFS – automatically checks your PowerShell script code against best practices of PowerShell.
