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.

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
