I suspect a big announcement about .NET on Mac. :)

miguelrochefort2• 10 years ago

Microsoft: For our first demo, let's build a todo app using the MEAN stack on a Mac.

HN: Hell is freezing over.

LyalinDotCom3• 10 years ago

We've got some announcements coming that makes today's keynote worth watching trust me. I am speaking as someone who helped pull this event off and is sitting back stage :)

it_learnses• 10 years ago

Microsoft joined the Linux foundation as a Platinum member.

iends• 10 years ago

Nobody is live blogging this event?

darklajid• 10 years ago

Here's hoping for VS for Linux 2017.. ;)

Edit: Nevermind, whoa. The Visual Studio Code demo was quite impressive and looks awesome as it is.

vmorgulis• 10 years ago

Microsoft should buy CodeWeavers (the company behind Wine)

Title should have a warning about automatically playing content, although I guess with more “modern” devices background tabs' actions don't matter as much.

ukyrgf• 10 years ago

At this point in the internet, it's almost a given that any single link you click is going to have an auto-playing video and 5 MB of JavaScript tracking scripts.

Big thanks to GitHub CEO for coming on stage at Connect(); they are such a great partner

Please keep updating

arenaninja2• 10 years ago

I missed part of the key note but it sounds like MSVS for Mac is subscription only?

If that's the case, it sucks :(

judah• 10 years ago

No, they mentioned there's a free edition of Visual Studio for Mac they're publishing as well.

fny• 10 years ago

Just saw Github CEO Chris Wanstrath deceptively hail Microsoft for having the most outside contributors... from his slides:

- 16,419 Microsoft

- 15,682 Facebook

- 14,059 Docker

- 12,841 Angular (Google)

- 12,140 Google

Makes me wonder whether he's included React in the Facebook numbers...

ickler83• 10 years ago

It has to be right? Why would Github be so inclined to lean towards Microsoft over Facebook.

e: just doesn't follow that they have enough of a vested interest in msft to be deceptive.

davej• 10 years ago

Yes, it's included. Remember Microsoft has VSCode, Typescript, .Net, Cognitive Toolkit and more on Github. Google would be #1 if Angular was hosted under the Google org.

I remember first seeing these stats in Github's infographic which they released a month or two ago: https://octoverse.github.com/

tomcam2• 10 years ago

What's the deception?

arenaninja2• 10 years ago

What's the live stream URL?

EDIT: The link live streams on Edge, but not on Firefox

AlexeyBrin• 10 years ago

Works in Chrome.

here's a youtube live link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUUd4S3FBrQ

Visual Studio 2017 RC announced by Nat Friedman. (CEO of Xamarin prior to acquisition).

e: kinda surprised its the mobile group who's announcing RC for VS as a whole

untog2• 10 years ago

Just tuned in - I see they're using the iOS Simulator on Windows. Have they explained how? That's one of the main reasons I use a Mac still.

barake• 10 years ago

The Xamarin tools have supported using a remote Mac to run the simulator. Microsoft has an iOS shim library and Objective-C tool chain for porting apps to Windows, but it's very much in preview.

untog2• 10 years ago

Ah, I see. Less exciting, though I suppose inevitable.

robsun• 10 years ago

Does it mean that Microsoft may release some phone in near future (year? two? three?) with SDK based on Xamarin?

bitshiffed• 10 years ago

https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-mac

Page is available now, but the download link is still broken ATM.

Paul_S• 10 years ago

Linux won a long time ago and now it's doing a victory lap. I'm glad Microsoft joined the team.

nedsma• 10 years ago

Goodies:

Visual Studio 2017 cross-platform support

Visual Studio for Mac

Microsoft joining the Linux Foundation

What I don't like is the way Microsoft integrates and advertises VS Docker integration, VS CI/CD functionality where everything is supposed to run automagically and their attitude that it's OK for devs to be clueless about these technologies and underlying processes but hey, they still should be comfortable using them.

Today's Microsoft motto: "super easy, super simple, yet powerful". I'm not buying it.

achr23• 10 years ago

The girl demoing VS 2017 pronounces tuple as 'TWO-pull'. That can't be right, is it?

purple-dragon2• 10 years ago

Both 'TWO-pull' and 'TUH-pull' are acceptable.

achr23• 10 years ago

huh, interesting. Thanks.

idreyn• 10 years ago

YMMV, but I've heard both TWO-pull and TUP-pull in academic and professional contexts. From a quick google search it looks like both pronunciations are generall accepted. I prefer TWO-pull myself!
