VSCode Day and Azure Developers .NET Day are coming!

April is a great month if you are a developer. This month you can attend both VS Code Day 2024 AND Azure Developers .NET Day 2024.

VS Code Day 2024


Start by attending the VS Code Day(in fact it are 2 days) on April 23 and 24.  During VS Code Day you learn everything about the latest and greatest features of Visual Studio Code. Of course, it will be no surprise that there will be a big focus on AI.

Day 1 will be a kind of ‘preshow’ event where Sonny Sanghe will build a LinkedIn clone with Azure and NEXT.JS. It will be a deep dive into using Microsoft Azure, GitHub Copilot, Cosmos DB, and TypeScript to craft robust, scalable web applications.

On Day 2 it is time for the main event where multiple sessions will be hosted. A sneak peak of some of the available sessions:

  • JavaScript developers: Build fast and have fun with VS Code and Azure AI CLI by Natalia Venditto
  • Real World Development with VS Code and C# by Leslie Richardson & Scott Hanselman
  • Beyond the Editor: Tips to get the Most out of GitHub Copilot by Kedasha Kerr
  • LangChain Examples with Azure OpenAI Service + VS Code by Rishab Kumar

Azure Developers .NET Day 2024

Then you can rest and recover for a few days to be ready just in time for the Azure Developers .NET Day on April 30. Expect a day with expert-led sessions that delve into AI advancements, app development efficiencies, cloud-native capabilities, and much more.

A must watch for every Azure Developer where you can discover the latest and greatest Azure features tailored for .NET applications.

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

VS Code Planning mode

After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
