I would like to know if there is a possibility to create a team project in TFS2015!! in the Web Interface without using Visual Studio?
This is not currently possible.
This is due to TFS's capability to interface with SharePoint and Reporting Services.
Update: This is now possible in TFS 2015 Update 2 (however, there is a limitation that it won't create an associated SharePoint portal or SSRS reports).

Good day.
I want to write an app for the work with builds and bugs in Team Services, previously Visual Studio Online (VSO). I've found the REST API, and it works, but it's not too comfortable to work with JSON. Is there any SDK for Team Services, or is that possible to connect to Team Services using standard TFS libraries from Microsoft?
Yes, you can use the .NET client libraries for Visual Studio Team Services (and TFS) to connect to VSTS just like how you connect to on-premise TFS. But if you are working with vNext build, I would recommend you to use the "Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.Client" in the webpage which still use Rest API to connect to TFS since the client libraries API only support some basic operation with vNext build.
I created an ASP.NET MVC 5 app and am trying to publish it to Azure (I have an active subscription). When I right-click the project and choose "Publish to Azure" the modal "Create App Service" shows up and just freezes. I have to kill visual studio process to close it.
I've tried it in several VM's, some Windows Server 2012 and some Windows 10, from both my office network and home, so I would safely assume it's not an issue with a particular environment but rather a larger issue.
Any ideas?
The Visual Studio 2015 tooling currently (Azure SDK 2.8.1) requires at least one Resource Group to be created.
You can work around this by creating a resource group in the subscription you are using through the Azure Portal.
I have opened an issue on the project GitHub site. See issue #1704.
Hope that helps.
I had to update the Azure tooling via the Visual Studio "Extensions and Updates" menu. None of these workarounds that involved creating items via the web interface worked or were necessary.
Is there a way to use TFS Documents feature in VSTS (Visual Studio Team Services previously known as Visual Studio Online or Team Foundation Service)
If so, how?
That's only available in an on-premise TFS installation, because it has a requirement to link up with a Sharepoint server. You can't use VSTS with Sharepoint, and it's increasingly uncommon to find people using Sharepoint in conjunction with on-premise TFS, because the only real thing Sharepoint provides at this point is document management.
As I understand it there is currently no reporting available on Visual Studio Team Services however looking at the source control history it shows the changeset history. Can additional columns be added here like number of changes, etc. so we can try and use this to understand the history of changes for our source control?
An even better solution would be to get real reporting from visual studio Team Services.
You're right, there are is not a comparable reporting set of capabilities in Visual Studio Team Services that Team Foundation Server on-premises currently has. The data all exists though in the Visual Studio Team Services account and there many ways of getting to that data:
Work Item Queries
Work Item Charts
REST APIs in Visual Studio Online
Team Foundation Server SDK (making calls against Visual Studio Team Services)
I imagine for your particular scenario, you'll want to use either option #3 or option #4 for querying version control information.
Update: We are currently working on an Analytics Service for Visual Studio Team Services data that will work with multiple reporting platforms like PowerBI and many others.
I would like to know if there is a possibility to create a team project in TFS2013 in the Web Interface without using Visual Studio. I would like to use TFS as general git repository platform. Visual Studio Online has such a possibility, but the menu does not exist in Team Web Access of the TFS.
Any ideas?
This option is not yet available in on-premise Team Foundation Server. Currently, its not possible to create a team project from web interface in on-premise instances.
