Bye bye TFS/VSTS, welcome Azure DevOps (Server)!

2 days ago Microsoft announced Azure DevOps, the new incarnation of VSTS and TFS. Instead of one big mothership, we’ll get 5 smaller vessels that integrate perfectly with each other(of course!) but also with other tools and products.

Here are the 5 building blocks:

Azure PipelinesAzure Pipelines

CI/CD that works with any language, platform, and cloud. Connect to GitHub or any Git repository and deploy continuously. Learn More >

Azure BoardsAzure Boards

Powerful work tracking with Kanban boards, backlogs, team dashboards, and custom reporting. Learn more >

Azure ArtifactsAzure Artifacts

Maven, npm, and NuGet package feeds from public and private sources. Learn more >

Azure ReposAzure Repos

Unlimited cloud-hosted private Git repos for your project. Collaborative pull requests, advanced file management, and more. Learn more >

Azure Test PlansAzure Test Plans

All in one planned and exploratory testing solution. Learn more >

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
