Creating a Team Foundation Service Account

TFS organizes Visual Studio projects and other miscellaneous files into folders called “team projects”, which are themselves organized by collection. Code On Time apps are standard Visual Studio projects, which allows using TFS to keep track of source code changes. All you need is a Team Foundation Service account.
