Seattle is known as cloud city , not only because it rains a

Every day but also because it is the headquarters of the two largest cloud computing companies: microsoft and amazon . And starbucks, which despite not being a technology company, made its contribution by producing the fuel preferred by many developers. I was there in early may to represent take at Country Email List microsoft build 2019 , the company's annual event.Uncle billsatya nadella, where news about the azure platform, microsoft 365, windows, xbox, github, linkedin and other products developed by the company are presented. The event took place between may 6th and 8th at the washington state convention center in downtown seattle. On the 5th (sunday) the space was open for accreditation. I went there that day to get my credential and event shirt. Microsoft build 2019 badge on monday morning, I had a nice surprise: there was a breakfast offered by microsoft to build participants at the hotel where I was staying. The same was repeated on the other days of the event.



Coming to microsoft build 2019 I arrived at the event location at 8am for the first appointment of the day: the final of the imagine cup , a global competition for students who apply technology in order to impact society in some way. The three finalists made their pitch to the judges who chose the winning project: an application that scans users' retinas (with the help of an auxiliary lens) to measure blood sugar levels, an alternative to other more invasive methods that can help people with diabetes and other associated conditions. Microsoft build 2019 imagine cup after the awards ceremony, the main stage was prepared for a demo of hololens, microsoft's augmented reality glasses. The idea was to recreate the apollo 11 space mission, but at the time of the demonstration, something went wrong and the presenters had to abort. Embarrassed, one of them said that “apparently it's easier to land on the moon than to do a live demo” — and microsoft later made available a video of what the demo should have been . Microsoft build 2019 stage and then, with the main area of ​​the event already covered by the press, satya's keynote began, in which he presented an overview of what the company is doing and brought news from each area of ​​the company, including microsoft teams , cortana, edge, office, hololens (no problems in the demo this time), minecraft, windows and azure.







This was one of the few sessions of the entire event that was not technical, but focused on the press and the market. Microsoft build 2019 satya nadella at the end of the keynote, the event was divided to follow two technical keynotes that took place simultaneously: one focused on azure and the other focused on office 365. I followed the first, where the scotts — guthrie (with his famous red shirt) and hanselman — presented news and platform demos. From then on, there were several and several sessions, from the .Net roadmap and the new features of c# 8+ to kubernetes, event hubs and many others in the remaining three days of the event. What's new in windows a new feature presented in a session that is worth highlighting is that windows will soon come with an embedded linux kernel to support the new version of wsl (windows subsystem for linux), which allows the execution of native linux binaries within windows. Today, wsl works only as a translation layer between the windows and linux api, but this causes several compatibility and performance problems. With a “real” linux kernel, all these problems disappear.
