Our company has been involved with Visual Studio Team System and Team Foundation Server since the pre-Betas, when it was referred to only as Burton. Needless to say, we have extensive experience with this product.

One of Accentient’s founders, Richard Hundhausen, authored the Microsoft Press book Working with Visual Studio 2005 Team System. Accentient also worked intimately with Microsoft to design the Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC).

Accentient was responsible for the Team System content and demonstrations used at the Visual Studio 2005 worldwide launch. Our expertise was acknowledged by Microsoft in October 2005, when its founders were given MVP awards in Visual Studio Team System. In fact, all of Accentient’s consultants are individuals who have outstanding credentials and community recognition.

In 2009, in cooperation with Microsoft and Ken schwaber, Accentient created the Professional Scrum Developer training course. This course, the first of its kind, teaches teams how to use modern software engineering practices to develop an increment of completed, potentially shippable functionality using Scrum and Visual Studio 2010. The training, assessment, and certification programs will be launched in parallel with Visual Studio 2010.

In 2010, Microsoft has again asked Accentient to create content and assist with the launch of Visual Studio. Look for us in Las Vegas, April 12th, 2010 demonstrating the capabilities of Visual Studio 2010.

Accentient is a company that has proven itself within the developer community and we continue to exceed the expectations of our clients.
