Accentient Information

Our company has been involved with Visual Studio Team System 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) which focuses entirely on Team System. Accentient was also 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, Ken schwaber, and the Scrum Alliance, Accentient created the Scrum Developer course. This course, the first of its kind, teaches attendees how to use modern software engineering practices to develop an increment of completed, potentially shippable functionality using Scrum and Visual Studio 2010. The workshop and related assessment program 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, March 22nd, 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.
