Today building open source software at Microsoft is normal — but when I started at Microsoft in 2007, it sure wasn’t. It took a few years to figure out the right thing to do and to get the big ship that is Microsoft turned into the wind of open source. But we’re there now and I look back on those early challenges with a smile. This is my story of t...

What if the community of extension authors banded together to add powerful features to Visual Studio that made it easier to create extensions? What if those features could be delivered in individually released extensions, but joined by a single installation experience that allows the user to choose which of the features to install? That’s the idea ...

As we’re wrapping up 2018 here at Visual Studio App Center, our team is proud of the new features and functionality we’ve been able to deliver to you this year.

Modern applications are increasingly complex systems that involve multiple technology stacks and cloud-native services. Orchestrating an automated release pipeline for these systems can be challenging. Azure Pipelines provides powerful, easy-to-use continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) services you can use to build and test your ...

Machine learning (ML) is being used in a wide range of applications, from autonomous cars and credit card fraud detection to predictive maintenance in manufacturing and beyond.

In previous blog posts you have read about some of the ideas behind Q#, how it came into existence, and its development over the past year. You have read about quantum computing, quantum algorithms and what you can do with Q# today. With the end of the year approaching, there is only one more thing to cover: What is next?

The ML.NET library is a new open source collection of machine learning (ML) code that can be used to create powerful prediction systems. Many ML libraries are written in C++ with a Python API for easier programming. Examples include scikit-learn, TensorFlow, CNTK and PyTorch. However, if you use a Python-based ML library to create a prediction mode...

I hope I’m not embarrassing myself to express how excited I am by Visual Studio Live Share! The first time I saw a demonstration of an early preview, I immediately found an excuse to use it in a live streaming session where Jeff Fritz and I worked on a .NET Core project together, each on our own computer, nearly 400 miles apart.
