Exciting changes coming to Team Foundation Server 2015

If you haven't already checked out the Release Notes for Team Foundation Server 2015, you should definitely check them out:

The most exciting changes are the one related to Team Foundation Build.

I have long complained about the lack of web-based support for Team Foundation Build and it seems that TFS Build 2015 is finally changing that!

TFS Build 2015 will be moving to a primarily web-based build system much like Jetbrains TeamCity!

Woo hoo!

I am excited to see what this means for supporting capabilities like Gated Check-In Builds with TFS Build with this upcoming release of TFS.

I will probably stick with Jetbrains TeamCity until TFS Build supports all of the same features (such as dependency builds), but it is nice to know that if I have to leverage TFS Build, it will be much easier to work with and manage going forward!!
