>> Welcome back to another episode of this week on Channel Nine.
I'm your host, Christina Warren, Senior Cloud Advocate.
You might notice that we're not in
the studio and I'm not in front of a green screen.
That's right. We're in Amsterdam for Microsoft Ignite, The Tour.
I've had an amazing two days of getting to
know the fantastic Amsterdam Dev community.
Thousands of people are here and everyone is so nice.
I should also point out that I'm wearing
my retro Microsoft sweatshirt that I successfully purchased,
that I mentioned on last week's show.
So let's get into this week's Dev news.
So first up, speaking of Microsoft Ignite,
The Tour, we still got a few more stops left on this year's tour.
We'll be in Dubai,
Stockholm, Mexico City, in Mumbai.
Details about the events are in
a link in the description down below,
and we would love to see you there.
As always, if you see me at any of these events, please say hello.
Speaking of events, we've got
a few other ones I want to talk about.
So first up, Microsoft Build is
taking place May sixth through eighth,
2019 at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle.
This is our annual Dev conference
and there's going to be tons of news,
and updates, and awesome people.
So you don't want to miss this.
I will be there along with
the Channel Nine crew and we would love to see you there as well.
Finally, for all the startups out there,
we've got a brand new startup event series called Create,
that will be taking place in
cities around the world including New York,
and London, and Toronto, and Berlin,
and San Francisco, and Tel Aviv, and more.
So Create's going to have technical and business contents aimed at
helping startups scale their businesses
and learn more about things like security,
and containers, and serverless, and corporate entities,
and AI, and governance and all kinds of other great stuff.
So I'm going to be at some of the stops
and this is going to be an awesome event.
So if you've got a startup and you're looking for more insight on
how to grow and checkout the various things.
Go to createstartups.io, for
all the details and links are in the show notes down below.
In some super exciting product news,
the Windows Virtual Desktop on Azure is now in public preview.
So this was announced last year,
and it offers a way for businesses and Devs to deploy and scale
their Windows desktops as well as
their apps on to Azure in minutes.
You can also do this while enjoying
built in security and compliance.
So this means the customers can virtualize using
multi session Windows 10 and Windows
seven and Windows Server desktops and
apps using RDS to Windows Virtual Desktop in a simplified way.
It makes it easy to deploy with Azure.
So I've got to link for more information
in the show notes and description,
but this is a great way to be able to
deploy Windows 10 machines in the Cloud,
so that you can access all your apps,
or tools, or whatever from any device.
Speaking of new products,
Azure DevOps Server 2019, is out now.
This was previously known as TFS but Azure DevOps Server 2019,
basically, brings all the power of
Azure DevOps but to your dedicated environments.
Details are in the show notes down below.
For.NET Core Devs, the.NET Core Container images are
being published now by
Microsoft in the Microsoft Container Registry.
So there's a link in the show notes down below
to a blog post from Richlandor explaining the change.
But the main reasons for the images going to MCR are that,
this will let the team basically establish MCR as
the official source for all Microsoft provided container images.
Then, they'll be able to more easily
promote and syndicate those images
to other container services like Docker Hub or Red Hat Openshift.
So this is also going to let the team use Azure as it CDM when
distributing those images which should
hopefully make things faster in many cases.
So the Docker Hub repo pages
are going to continue to work and will be supported
an updated with the latest info
and existing images will be maintained.
But starting with.NET Core 3.0,
MCR is going to be the only places the images will be published.
Now, like I said,
those images will still be syndicated to Docker Hub,
but you're going to need to update your "From" statements in
Dockerfile Vials and Docker
Pull commands to point to the new location.
Like I said, there is a blog post with
more information and that's linked down below.
This is actually a really nice segue into
a fantastic blog post from Aaron Howell,
that's an introduction into ACI or Azure Container Instances.
That's one of the easiest ways to run containers in the Cloud.
In some serverless news,
Simona Costin, one of my favorite people in the world,
has a great post for CSS tricks about seven things
you should know when getting started with serverless APIs.
So the post is super in depth,
and it covers things like how to create a new serverless project,
how to debug code locally,
how to install dependencies,
and ultimately how to deploy to the Cloud.
So once you're at that stage,
Dean Brian has a great post on
Azure functions which is a great serverless platform,
offering a developer's guide to all of its key features.
So it's GDC aka the Game Developer Conference this week,
and the Azure team announced Microsoft's Game Stack.
So Game Stack is awesome because it brings
together all of our game development platforms,
tools, and services like Azure, PlayFab, DirectX,
Visual Studio, Xbox Live, App center,
and more into a robust ecosystem that any game developer can use.
So the goal of Game Stack,
is basically to help you discover what tools and
services that you need to create and operate your game.
So I've got links down below
for blog posts, diving into what it is,
how it works, and how you can use it for your games and projects.
This is a really good segue to
what video content we've got on Channel Nine this week.
So first up on, On.Net,
Cecil and Brian Peak talk about building games with MonoGame.
Over on Five Things,
Burke and Noel talk about five ways
you can infuse AI into your apps.
On the IoT Show,
Olivier and John Sheehan,
are talking about the impacts that IoT is having on Azure.
Now it's time for my pick of the week.
So this actually happened a couple of weeks ago,
but due to travel I wasn't able to record.
So this was too cool for me to pass up.
The Windows team open-sourced Windows calculator
and that app is now on GitHub under the MIT license.
This is supremely cool because it's not just the source code,
it's also the unit test,
the build system, and even the product roadmap.
So Devs can integrate
the calculator logic or its UI into their own projects.
What's super cool is that,
this is a real-world example that any Dev
can use to learn more about things like XAML,
or UWP, or Fluent Design.
Obviously, PRs are welcome.
This isn't just, like I said,
it's not just dumping the code.
The Teams roadmap is public too.
Suggestions, and modifications, and discussions
are all welcome and will find
its way into the final shipping product.
I love open-source and I love Amsterdam.
So this does it for me.

at Microsoft Developer for all the latest Dev content.
Let me know in the comments what are
your favorite new tools for VS code, whether there's extensions,
or other things you're finding out,
because it's spring and I want to do a blog or
a video on some of the best stuff out there. See you next week.
