Thanks Justin, Dean and others for the feedback - it looks to be gaining 
momentum.

To answer both your questions - the IIS recipe is just an idea and it hasn't 
been written yet. The reason the page doesn't exist is just the way wikis and 
links work.

So Justin, your JS build is a common scenario - I'd suggest you create the page 
and any requirements & implementation ideas you have, and I'll add my thoughts 
to it.  That way we can feed off each other's ideas as a community.

Grant (and list),
                This is one of the best things i’ve read in recent weeks/months 
(probably after the release of the latest tfs) with regards to TFS. Very kewl 
and VERY helpful. You’re so right about the fact that the build stuff has been 
neglected big time. It’s all well and good, building applications, but trying 
to deploy an application is (more or less) the final hurdle in the application 
process and if that is not automated and simple, then things can get very 
messy, very quickly ... especially when it comes to supporting the live 
product. Lets not get started about supporting a live web application in a web 
farm scenario on remove servers ....

                Anyways ... is there a way people can REQUEST build recipes? 
For example; i’d love to see a way to MINIFY and PACK my javascript files 
before the web site is deployed .. so if i can add that to a ‘request’ list, 
maybe someone else might be able to help? ... Maybe a windows application 
developer might want to obfuscate their code, during deployment?  This ties in 
to my next question ...

                TFS Builds and web deployment projects. Would it be fair to 
assume that these two products have a close relationship (with regard to web 
applications, that is) and maybe add some recipe support for WDP also? Eg. 
Using TFS build with WDP doing the following build scenarios ... etc. I’m not 
sure if the two recipies ‘Deploying Web Apps to IIS’ or ‘Zip web app files’ are 
doing this, because those links don’t work for me.

Cheers – looking forward to everyone’s thoughts :)

-J-

Subject: [OzTFS] TFSBuild.com Build Receipes Launched

Hi OzTFS’ers,

Here’s a little side project I’ve been working on: 
TFSBuild.com<http://www.tfsbuild.com/>

http://ozgrant.com/2008/01/31/tfsbuildcom-build-recipes-launched/

As a Build Master you’ve been put in charge of coming up with a central build 
system for your team. It can be quite daunting at first and you wonder “Where 
do I start?”.

The purpose of TFSBuild.com<http://www.tfsbuild.com/> is to create and share 
build recipes with other build masters so that we can all learn and benefit 
from each other’s experience.

Since the site is called TFSBuild.com<http://www.tfsbuild.com/>, there is a 
particular focus on MSBuild and Team Foundation Build scripts. But if you have 
a NAnt<http://nant.sourceforge.net/> script or similar that you think others 
might find useful post it up.

The site is published as a wiki and the idea is that anybody can 
register<http://www.tfsbuild.com/Register.aspx> to add & update content.

There are four simple options to get started:
1.    Browse existing build recipes<http://www.tfsbuild.com/BuildRecipes.ashx>
2.    Add a new build recipe<http://www.tfsbuild.com/AddBuildRecipe.ashx>
3.    Use the search<http://www.tfsbuild.com/Search.aspx?FullText=1>
4.    Subscribe to the RSS feed of wiki 
updates<http://www.tfsbuild.com/RSS.aspx>.

It’s a little light on content at the moment, but I’m hoping that will change 
as momentum builds. Spread the word! Here are some of the recipes that I’ve put 
up recently based on my own experiences:
·  Running Unit Tests without a Test 
List<http://www.tfsbuild.com/Running%20Unit%20Tests%20without%20a%20Test%20List.ashx>
·  WiX MSI Setup 
Package<http://www.tfsbuild.com/WiX%20MSI%20Setup%20Package.ashx>
·  .NET 1.1 Applications<http://www.tfsbuild.com/NetFX_11_Applications.ashx>
·  Restrict Target Framework 
Version<http://www.tfsbuild.com/Restrict%20Target%20Framework%20Version.ashx>
