>> Welcome back to another episode of this week on Channel 9.
I'm your host Christina Warren, Senior Cloud Advocates.
Now, I've been gone for a few weeks
because of some conflicts with booking studio.
But I'm back having said goodbye to summer and now I'm
ready to fully embrace fall in the Western Hemisphere anyway.
Well, my shirt today is a mashup of
Zelda and Windows 95 in celebration of
the new link's awakening remake for the Nintendo Switch
and Windows 95 just because it's awesome.
But enough of all that, let's get into
this week's latest dev news.
First up, we've got some a bit announcements
to share since it's been a couple of weeks.
So The first thing I want to tell you about is to be sure to tune
into.Net Conf next week from September 23rd through the 25th,
and this is a virtual conference,
so you can watch from your couch
or your desk or wherever you want,
and this year there will be 75 live sessions
and the last 24 hours will
feature speakers in their local time zones
on our Visual Studio Twitch in Mixer channels.
So I've got a link to the.Net Conf website the twitch and
Mixer channels and the schedule in
the show notes in the description down below,
and.NET Core 3.0 is about to come out,
and you will definitely want to tune in,
and in some other event news,
Microsoft Ignite will be taking
place in Orlando from November 4th-8th.
Now, this conference is currently sold out,
but you can get on the waitlist.
See you there, and if you can't make it to Orlando,
Microsoft Ignite The Tour is coming back,
and this year it is bigger than ever before.
We will be in 30 cities around the globe delivering
great content for developers and IT pros,
and I had a blast at the event last year and I highly,
highly recommend attending if it is coming to your city.
So links for both Ignite in Orlando and
Ignite The Tour are linked down below and super,
super quick just a heads up.
We have announced the dates for Microsoft Build 2020,
and it will be in Seattle May 19th through the 21st. All right.
Well, with the.Net Conf happening next week,
that means that we are getting super close to
the release of.NET Core 3.0, and in fact,
the team intends to release
the final version on September 23rd at.Net Conf,
and so to get ready for the first.NET Core
3.0 release candidate is available.
Now it was released earlier this week,
and it is production ready,
and it's supported by Microsoft.
But be sure to test your app before deploying.
Now, I'm super stoked about.NET Core 3.0
and I can't wait to dive in more over the coming weeks and months.
In some awesome font news,
the Windows depth team just released the first build,
the brand new fonts.
Microsoft built for the new Window's terminal,
and it's called Cascadia code.
It's mono space, and it has
ligature supports and it's open source.
So you can download the font now from GitHub.
It's also been submitted to Homebrew and Chocolaty if
you want to get updates more easily that
way and the font is really beautiful,
and I've actually been using it in my terminals on
my Mac and Windows the last few days.
So I've got a link to the blog post announcing Cascadia code,
the GitHub, and links to
the chocolate in homebrew packages down below,
and I've also got a link to
a blog post that Scott Hanselman everyone's favorite
developer wrote about how you can patch
the font using a power like lives if that's your thing.
Also on that note, there's already some support for adding
a new font support to the font and
putting it in the narrowband repo in GitHub Studio.
So all of that stuff is detailed and in the shownotes.
Speaking of terminals, last week at
the Visual Studio team announced
the first preview of Visual Studio Terminal,
which is available now in Visual Studio is 16.3 Preview 3.
So rather than build everything from scratch,
the Visual Studio terminal team
shares most of its code with the new Windows terminal,
and so for you that translates into
a more robust terminal experience and faster adoption.
So I've got to link the blog posts,
detailing the new terminal Visual Studio,
and how you can figure it in the show notes and description.
Now, in some more command line news
because that's basically my favorite topic.
PowerShell 7 Preview 4 is out now,
and the team is targeting a December 2019 date for
the release candidates and January 2024 for general availability,
and this will be the very first LTS or
a long-term servicing release of the new power-shell.
So it's got some bug fixes,
but also a slew of new and experimental features,
and those are all detailed in a blog post that I've
linked in the show notes and description.
In some Kubernetes news,
Kubernetes 1.16 is now available,
and this is actually the third release of
2019 and it has 31 enhancements,
eight enhancements are moving to
stable and eight enhancements are in Beta,
and then there are 15 enhancements in Alpha.
There's also been some changes to
the Kubernetes API in this release,
and so it will not support a number of deprecated APIs.
So I've got a link to the release notes down below.
Also, if you were on Azure,
be sure to check out our managed Kubernates Services AKS.
In some Xamarin news,
iOS 13 is out this week,
and so the team has some blog posts on preparing your apps for iOS
13 and Xcode 11 as well as supporting dark mode.
So links to both of those are in the show notes and description.
On Channel 9 this week, we've got lots of great content.
First on the Cloud native Shane and I are enable to talk
about Azure DevOps for.NET Core and Cloud-Native Apps,
and then over on the Internet of Things show,
Olivier dives into simplifying
downstream processing with Azure IoT Hub message enrichments.
Finally, I want to give a shout out to
our brand new Python for Beginners course.
It's available in 44 parts all our
five-minute or less snackable videos,
and they really help get you started
learning programming in Python.
I really, really love this series great job.
So the links to all the videos
are in the show notes and description,
and now it's time for my pick of the week.
So I was a '90s kid,
which makes me officially old.
Well, in the '90s, you were
either like a Sega kid or Nintendo kid,
now at least until the PlayStation came out.
But anyway, I was always Nintendo kid,
but I still had a lot of luck with Sega Genesis shout out
to Sally Miller who had a Genesis Anna Sega CD and let me play it.
Anyway say released their own little mini version
of the Sega Genesis this week,
and it's been getting great reviews.
Mind should arrive by the time this video
posts and some I'll add my thoughts in the comments,
but I did want to point this out that
if you don't want to have to buy many console,
but you still want to relive some of those classic Genesis games,
there's actually a really great Sega Genesis classics compilation
that's available for Xbox One.
What was your favorite console in the '90s?
Let me know in the comments,
and let me know your thoughts in any of our other stories.
