Adam Cogan in Adelaide

The rumours are true. Adam Cogan is coming to Adelaide at the end of May. And I don't mean just roughly at the end of May, I mean the 31st. All afternoon. 12-4pm. That's a Wednesday too, so it'll be a nice mid-point to the week.

He's coming to do an event on VSTS. VSTS is so cool, and remarkably relevant to SQL users too.
Adam's going to be showing us about how it can help manage buglists and work items, things like that. Now, I know that SQL Developers always write bug-free code, but you can't deny there are times when you want to get someone else in your team to do something. So come along and find out how the Team bit of VSTS works.
