>> Welcome back to another episode of this week on Channel 9.
I'm your host, Christina Warren,
Senior Cloud Advocate, and just a heads up,
we will be on a little bit of a hiatus
over the next two weeks because the studio is booked solid.
But don't worry, we will be back at
the end of September. All right.
If it's all of that, let's get into this week's latest Dev news.
First up, a heads up that the.NET Conf is coming back
and will be taking place online
from September 23rd through the 25th,
and with so much happening in the.NET world,
especially around.NET Core 3.0,
you will definitely want to check this out.
So I've got a link in the show notes and the description down
below to the announcement video from Beth Massey and Gollaz,
the two brains behind the operation,
as well as a link to the website where you can sign up
to get notified when the content goes live.
In some other event news,
Microsoft Ignite is coming up.
It'll be in Orlando,
November 4th through 8th,
and I'll be there along with all your Channel 9 favorites.
We would love to see you there too.
Details on the events and the link to register are
in the show notes and the description down below.
Next up, in some great TypeScript news.
TypeScript 3.6 is now available.
Now, if you're not familiar,
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript
that has optional static types to JavaScript.
It's become really popular with
Front-End Developers because it makes it easier to catch
common errors and it can be used to craft
code that uses the latest ECMAScript features,
even in older browsers and runtimes.
Some of the big highlights of TypeScript 3.6
are stricture checking for iterators and generator functions,
more accurate erase spread,
improved UX around promises,
better unicode support for identifiers,
and smarter auto imports.
So I've got a link down below to the Release Notes blog,
the GitHub repo, and the Roadmap for the next six months or so.
Also, note that there are a couple of
breaking changes and how constructors work,
so be sure to check out
the documentation before upgrading any of your projects.
Some Windows Terminal news.
Windows Terminal Preview, version 0.4 is now available.
This update adds some changes
to how the profiles.JSON settings file works.
It's now local state rather than roaming state.
This is to prevent issues where you might run into crashes.
If you didn't have the same fonts installed across machines.
The tab title customization feature has also been
changed a bit and there are some new key biting updates.
So I've got to link the latest blog post
in the download of the Microsoft Store and
the GitHub repo where you can file PRs and
issues in the show notes in the description down below.
Just as a side note, I am loving the Windows Terminal,
I am so excited with how it's developing.
Side note for those that want to throw caution
to the winds, everyone's favorite Developer,
Scott Hanselman has a hack on his blog where you can add though
Windows terminal to the Windows Key+X shortcuts.
Now, this is totally unsupported,
use it at your own risk,
but it's also really cool.
So I've got to link to that down below too if
you'd like to play it on the edge.
In some very cool open-source news,
Microsoft has announced so that it is
the addition of the exFAT file system to the Linux Kernel,
and exFAT is a Microsoft file system that is used on lots
of storage devices like SD cards or USB flash drives,
and a lot of storage devices that you buy
are usually formatted in exFAT by default.
John Gossman, who is a distinguished Engineer at
Microsoft and a Board member of the Linux Foundation,
wrote this in his blog.
"It's important to us that the Linux community can make use
of exFAT included in the Linux Kernel with confidence.
To this end, we will be making
Microsoft's technical specification for exFAT
publicly available to facilitate development
of conformance interoperable implementations."
He also says, "We will also add support
to the eventual inclusion of a Linux Kernel with
exFAT support in a future revision
of the open invention that works Linux system definition."
That'll basically allow the code to be used by
Olive [inaudible] 3400 different numbers and licenses.
So I've got to link to John's blog posts,
as well as the technical specification
for exFAT and the links down below,
and as a side note, Linux kernel Greg Kroah-Hartman
has already started work on getting exFAT into the kernel.
In some other OSS news,
PyTorch 1.2 now has full support on Azure.
So I've got a link to the show notes to description to
a blog post outlaying support as well as
some guides for getting started with PyTorch on Azure.
On Channel 9, this week we've got lots of great content.
First step on the Cloud Native Show,
Scott and Shayne discussed why you should
use.NET Core when building Cloud Native apps.
Then on ON.NET, Rich joined by Simon and
Ben from Docker to talk about Docker Desktop Integration with WSL.
Over on the IoT Show,
Olivier goes over how to simplify and automate
Azure IoT Edge devices deployments using Global Projects.
Finally, I want to give a shout out to
the most recent episode of
the Behind The Tech Podcasts with Kevin Scott.
Kevin Scott is our CTO here at Microsoft.
In this episode, Kevin talks to Sam Altman who's the CEO
of OpenAI and is the former President of Y Combinator.
I was in the room for this recording,
and it was a really great conversation
and it's a really great podcasts.
So you should subscribe.
Links to all of these shows are down
below in the show notes and description.
Now, it's time for my pick of the week.
So last Sunday it was
the 24th anniversary of the release of Windows 95,
hence my shirt today.
But rather than fine some Windows 95
throwback material that I probably mentioned last year,
I wanted to find something a little bit different.
So a YouTuber by the name of Aftan,
made a concept video to show what
Windows XP might look like if it were created in 2019.
It's super cool video and I really
appreciate all the work that went into it.
What's your all-time favorite version of Windows?
Let me know in the comments and also let me
know your thoughts on any of the other
stories that we discussed today.
Well, that does it for me.
If you like this video,
please give us a like on YouTube,
it really helps us out and go ahead and subscribe to
Microsoft Developer for all your nerdy depth news.
See you next time.
