Channel 9

The 'One Dev Question with Raymond Chen' video series is part of the One Dev Minute channel. In this series, longtime Microsoft developer and semi-official Windows historian Raymond Chen covers a series of questions about Microsoft Windows development, team culture, and/or history. If you have additional questions for Raymond, please add your questions in the comments section below. You can also find out more development details about Windows and its history on Raymond's blog.

This Week on Windows: We’ve got a scary good movie deal, shockingly easy ways to sync your digital files to the cloud, and one frighteningly fantastic game!

Brendan Burns (Partner Architect, at Microsoft & Kubernetes co-founder) returns to Azure Friday to chat with Scott Hanselman about using and maintaining a Kubernetes cluster in Azure Container Service (currently in Preview) using the Kubernetes command line tool (kubectl).

Tobias and Slava are back in the studio to discuss more of the "how" of SQL Server on Linux. In the last video with Tobias and Slava, they discussed the work that went into getting SQL Server to run on Linux. They discussed a technology called SQLPAL (Platform Abstraction layer) that makes it makes it possible to run the SQL Server Windows (PE) executables on Linux and the Host extension which sits below the SQLPAL where you have 1 host extension per OS that you need to support. So, with that refresher, they are back today to continue on that same thread and show exactly what happens, and actually show the code, as we transition between the Linux world and the Windows world through the host SQLPAL technology which, as they talked about in the last episode, is based on a Microsoft research project Drawbridge. Tobias and Slava begin by showing a high level overview of the end-to-end workflow that happens during the transition from Linux into Windows to set the foundation of the upcoming demo. Speaking of which, at the [05:25] mark it's DEMO TIME, and Slava spends the remaining 33 minutes showing us starting SQL Server, and then working with SQL Server end-to-end. To do that, Slava opens the debugger he showed in the last show, but uses the debugger to show the code end-to-end! What was also just as fun, besides the puppy and kitten discussions, was watching Slava debug AND FIX performance and overhead issues live (starting roughly at [21:00]) ! Awesome stuff, even though I think this is the first time we have done assembly coding and debugging on Channel 9, at least on Data Exposed! The shows and demos get better and better with them each time!

Today we had Scott Hanselman, Kendra Havens, Maria Naggaga Nakanwagi, Kasey Uhlenhuth, and Donovan Brown in the studio and on Skype to talk about the challenges and rewards of speaking publicly.

We apologize for that, and will have Mitch again on a future show.

We are pleased to announce a new show “Humans of Microsoft” and thanks to Jeffrey Snover to inaugurate our pilot. Jeffrey Snover, is a well-known figure of Microsoft. He is the inventor of PowerShell, Architect of Windows server and a Technical Fellow of Microsoft. In this show, we will go beyond the technology and try to meet the human behind the window server and PowerShell. We hope, in this personal and candid interview we will get inspired by his personal story and learn one or two things in the process. Let’s start the conversation and see what Jeffrey’s last tweet will be? Here are links of books and Authors Jeffrey mentioned: Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors. Jeffrey Moore. Michael E. Portar Find Rafat on: Twitter, Blog. Follow @rafatsaroshFollow @jsnover

Note: This is a do-over of this episode. The first time Andrew and I recorded this, we weren't happy with how it turned out. So we rerecorded the episode. Unfortunately, on 1/25 we accidentally published the version we didn't like. We have now (1/31) updated this post with the second, much better version. We apologize for the mix-up. In this episode, Robert is joined by Andrew Hall, who shows us a preview of tools for building Azure Functions for Visual Studio 2015. Azure Functions provide event-based serverless computing that make it easy to develop and scale your application, paying only for the resources your code consumes during execution. Andrew shows how to create a function project using C# in Visual Studio, run functions locally, and publish them to Azure. He also shows both local and remote debugging.

In this episode Martin and Martin look at how you create custom middleware and use it to give users 404 status code error pages.

The Drones Garage team had the awesome opportunity to go to GE2.live and do coverage for the drone racing event and this show is Day 2. More coverage and interviews with Pilots and Vendors that were at the event. GE2.live was held at the WAMU theater in Seattle, WA. It wasn't just drones but so much more. Go check out the site and prepare to be there next year. The Drones Garage Show, a showcase produced by the Drones Chapter of the Microsoft Garage. Our goal is to create a community of people excited about drones and their possibilities. We will explore many aspects of working with drones including FPV racing, aerial photography, and programming. Contact Us: Via #DronesGarageFollow @Go4itYoda

More of .... Whatever Scott wants to talk about :)

In this episode of The Endpoint Zone with Brad Anderson we take a look back at the past year in enterprise mobility [00:47]. Brad and Simon discuss the new Intune console in the Azure Portal [06:00], the Microsoft Graph [07:13] and dive into the new console [10:00] which gives a single view across all of Enterprise Mobility and Security and, in fact, the whole of Azure. Brad shows you the experience of creating a new iOS policy [12:04] Explains the blade concept in the Azure portal [13:00] Starts to manage apps [13:37] importing the apps from the Apple App Store Brad breaks out PowerShell at [15:07] to use the Graph API to pull all the "Microsoft Corporation" published apps from the Apple App Store You'll see an exclusive first look at the Intune for Education experience [19:06], a new administrative experience created for education administrators. One of the unique things with education is that they always start with a group [21:00]. Finally, Brad and Simon then answer the burning question - when can you take advantage of the new features [25:46]

In this tutorial, we are going to use the Surface Hub cameras to capture preview of what the camera is seeing and use that to create a picture. Please download the Powerpoint slides and the sample from GitHub:https://github.com/dxsurfacehub/Surface-Hub-Design-and-Development.

This week's episode of Data Exposed welcomes Pranav Rastogi the show to talk about the Big Data Partner Program. Pranav is a Principal PM in the Big Data team and he looks after the Hadoop ecosystem and he is in the studio today to talk about a unique experience the team has added that allows people to install and try out different apps on top of Hadoop and HDInsight via the Partner Ecosystem. These apps provide a range of app scenarios including data ingestion and analytics without spending a lot of time installing software. At the [01:32] mark Pranav shows us the current list of Partners in our Hadoop ecosystem whose application and solutions works with Hadoop and HDInsight. This list of solutions allows Microsoft to connect customers directly to partner solutions and provide a 1-click deploy of the partner apps and solutions. At the [03:43] mark Pranav jumps right into a demo, showing how to install applications on to an existing HDInsight cluster. In this example he shows Datameer, and shows how easy it is to begin using the applications, in this case, Datameer. This is very powerful. The rest of the show is spent watching Pranav work with Datameer easy and seamlessly. He explains that the Azure HDInsight Application Platform is a way for partners to enable their solutions on top of HDInsight and a way for customers to connect with these partner solutions. Very cool!
