>> Welcome back to another episode of this week on Channel 9.
I'm your host, Christina Warren, Senior Cloud Advocate.
As promised, my new camera finally arrived.
So I'm coming to you from a Sonny A 6400,
which is a really nice upgrade from my I-max webcam.
So yay for that, even with the stock lens, Alas,
my office is not clean
but had been under the gun doing a million and one things.
So if I have to deal with it, you have to deal with it.
I do have hopes that someday my office will
look like a fancy like YouTube or background,
but that day is not today.
So anyway, sorry.

>> Let's get into this week's latest developer news,
and we've got a ton of stuff to cover.
So first things first.
Just a reminder that Microsoft Build is
going to be taking place next week and it will be awesome.
So we're doing a 48-hour livestream
from May 19th through the 20th,
and you do not want to miss it.
So you can register at
mybuild.Microsoft.com, where you can build
out your sessions and you can check out
the various community events you might want to attend
and the different engagements we have setup.
This is going to be a different Microsoft Build than years past,
but it's going to be amazing.
Like I said, it's going to be for 48 hours.
We'll be live streaming content which
means that no matter what part of the world you're in,
you'll be able to tune in and find things in your time zone,
which is really, really great.
So Seth Juarez and Donna Soccer,
and Rick Clause and myself will be MCs,
guide you through the whole process.
If you pop in during the UK time zone,
you're going to see yours truly.
So definitely tune in and check out Microsoft Build.
I've got links to register and more information in the show notes
and the description mybuild.Microsoft.com.
It's going to be great so please join us.
We really cannot wait for Microsoft Build.
Next up in some other event news, GitHub Satellite,
which is GitHubs developer conference was
last week and it had tons of great announcements.
So I just want to go through
a little bit of a rundown of what was announced.
I've got a link in the show notes in
the description for more details on all of these things.
So the biggest announcement was Codespaces in GitHub,
and that will give you a
complete development environment within GitHub.
We're going to get more into that in just a second.
But there's also GitHub discussions,
which are a way for communities
to collaborate outside of the codebase.
I'm super, super stoked about that,
and there is some updates to how code and secret
scanning works and to keep you secure. So that's really great too.
So like I said, I've got a link to
the recap in the show notes in the description,
really great stuff coming out of GitHub satellites.
Now next up, I want to mention that Visual Studio Online has been
renamed and it is now Visual Studio Codespaces.
So if that codespaces name sounds familiar,
that's because GitHubs Codespaces,
which we just talked about,
is based on the same code as Visual Studio Codespaces
So VS Codespaces is not just a great new name,
but it also has fantastic new pricing
as well as some new features.
So if you're not familiar with the ideas,
you get basically a development VM in the Cloud where you
can either remotely and your clients with Visual Studio code,
or in the web browser,
even on an iPad,
do full development work with all your extensions, your doc files,
all of your shortcuts,
everything you want without having to go through the process of
setting up a brand new development environment from scratch.
It's fantastic.
So I've got details to the new pricing which is really great,
as well as some other updates on
VS Codespaces in the show notes and description down below.
Be sure to tune in to Build because you might hear
some more things about that.
All right, so next up,
I want you to talk about Visual Studio Code 1.45,
the April 2020 release.
This came out and there are
some great new requirements and features.
So I've got a link in the show notes in the description
to what those features are and how you can get it.
So I've got to link to that as well as
the GitHub repository in
the show notes and the description, love VS Code.
Next up, I'm going
to blaze through these updates because
we've got so much stuff to get through.
But as DevTools CVP and from the show,
Amanda Silver commented on Tuesday,
it's not even Build yet and we've got so many new announcements.
So first step I want to go,
and I would have mentioned that
the Python VS Code extension was updated for May of 2020.
This release addressed 42 issues and it
includes the ability to browse
for or inter interpreter path on selection.
So that's really great.
Next step, TypeScript 3.9 is now available.
So check out the show notes in the description,
for all those new features and
how to update. But this is really great.
Also tune in to Build,
there are going to be some typescript sessions
as always around that.
I would be a remiss if I didn't mention that
the Docker extension for Visual Studio Code just got an update,
and this update includes
some new Explorer panels and that's really fantastic.
Speaking of Docker, we wanted to give
a shout out to the Docker Desktop Staple,
Channel Now in Apple.
Top for yourself are the Windows subsystem for Linux 2 by
default on its backend in all compatible Windows versions.
This means that it will also support Windows Home,
which is great because in the past you
haven't been able to use Docker with Windows home,
and in the future,
once you get your latest updates, you will.
So that's really awesome stuff.
So I've got a link to all of
these updates in the show notes in the description down below.
Now speaking of WSL2,
Windows developers can actually now
start building their apps for the Windows 10,
May 2020 release, aka Windows 10 version 2004.
So there are some really great APIs and
features for developers in this release including,
the WSL2 there's a host app model and sparse signed packages.
So this is all really great stuff and I've
got links to that in the show notes description,
including how you can update yourself to
the latest version if you're not running it already.
Over on Channel 9 this week,
we've got tons of great contents.
First up on the AI Show,
Seth talks about
time series forecasting with automated machine-learning,
and like I love time-series databases,
so I totally noded out over this, this is great.
Next over on Visual Studio Toolbox,
Robert discusses DevExpress desktop
components, which is really great.
Then finally on ON.NET, we learn
about data processing for.NET and Apache Spark.
Now it's time for my pick of the week.
So if the last two weeks weren't crazy enough,
Microsoft decided to announce a bunch of new laptops
and headphones that I want to buy immediately.
This includes the Surface Go 2,
the Surface Book 3, which
includes an option on the 15-ish version.
They get like a really powerful graphics card if
you need that thing for your high-performance workloads.
There's the Surface headphones too available in black now.
I would like rose gold,
but black I would take its very,
very nice and the Surface buds.
So I want one of all of these things.
So penthouse please.
I'll wear them on this show
where dozens of people watch every week.
But seriously, this is great stuff.
So I've got links to more information
about that in the show and in the description.
All right, well that does it for me on this week,
we've got so much great stuff going on.
