Team Foundation Server Links

Over my holiday, I read a book on Team Foundation Server and, true to the current low standards for industrial technology publication, the authors knew their business but not how to present it. I found the book sorely in need of an editor who spoke english as a first language. The material was trivial more than half the time and casual the rest of the time. I felt as though I were reading a TechEd transcript. Not exactly a fluent method for getting your point across in print...

At any rate, the authors did do a good job of researching related information freely available on the web. Unfortunately, it was printed and there was no ebook published with the print edition. The result is that I bookmarked all the links that I thought would be helpful and then located their actual URL (many published values are post-MSDN2). Here are the pieces I found useful.
