Microsoft’s decision to let organizations stream single Windows applications from the cloud — instead of entire Cloud PC sessions — marks a pragmatic pivot in how enterprises will adopt Windows 365 for day-to-day workforces and frontline roles. The new Windows 365 Cloud Apps feature, now in...

As the software landscape continually evolves, Microsoft’s renewed push for secure coding has taken a pivotal turn with the formal encouragement of Rust as a first-class language for Windows driver development. This strategic endorsement, once a future-looking promise, is rapidly becoming...

Node.js has established itself as a bedrock technology for backend web development, thanks to its asynchronous programming model, robust JavaScript ecosystem, and continuous improvements since its inception in 2009. With giants like Netflix, PayPal, and LinkedIn building at scale on Node.js, its...

I am developing an online booking platform that enables teachers to arrange online conversations with students. Teachers can indicate the dates and times they are available for virtual meetings. Students are able to find available teachers by entering the date, time, and duration for interviews...

We are excited to announce that the Rust/WinRT project finally has a permanent and public home on GitHub: microsoft/winrt-rs Rust/WinRT follows in the tradition established by C++/WinRT of building language projections for the Windows Runtime using standard languages and compilers, providing a...

Ever wish there were a way to condense the entire CppCon 2015 into less than an hour? Well, realistically speaking, there may not be a way to really do that, but we hope this month's episode comes close! CppCon 2015 was packed to the brim with all sorts of great content, great people, and great...

The Concurrency Visualizer Collection Tools for Visual Studio 2015 allows you to collect traces from the command line. The traces can be viewed using the Concurrency Visualizer for Visual Studio 2015. Link Removed

Learn about the use of schedulers to parameterize concurrency in Rx and to test applications using virtual time. Link Removed Link Removed Link Removed

Continuing on with our coverage of Link Removed, meet Dr. Victor Pankratius. Dr. Pankratius heads the Multicore Software Engineering investigator group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. He also serves as the elected chairman of the Software Engineering for parallel Systems...

Herb Sutter introduces the Link Removed crowd (and the world!) to Microsoft's view on heterogeneous computing in the concurrency age and introduces one of Microsoft's upcoming technologies for democratizing GPGPU/APU/Multi-Core/Many-Core programming for native developers: C++ Accelerated Massive...

Kate Gregory presents Modern Native C++ Development for Maximum Productivity at Tech Ed North America 2011. Go Kate! This session clarifies what features are in Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 and what is yet to come. It illustrates how new constructs such as lambda expressions enable better use of...

Join Wade and Steve each week as they cover the Windows Azure Platform. You can follow and interact with the show Link Removed. In this episode, Steve and Wade explain the application architecture of their latest creation—the Link Removed. Like many other popular buttons on the Internet, the...

The Link Removedwrite tools for the C++ community that make it easier to write reliable, performant and scalable concurrent and parallel code. In this conversation, Mike Chu , Dana Groff, Artur Laksberg, and Vinod Koduvayoor Subramanian talk about their latest addition to the Parallel Patterns...

Link Removed is a Link Removed project and managed (.NET) software framework for building client + cloud applications. As outlined in the recently released paper on the topic: Orleans defines an actor-like model of isolated grains that communicate through asynchronous messages and manage...

Building applications that are responsive and can exploit parallel hardware poses an important challenge. In particular, enabling applications to execute various tasks in parallel can be difficult if those tasks exhibit read and write conflicts. Revisions are forked and joined much like...

In this session, Don McCrady discusses how C++ programmers can fully utilize multicore in their applications using the Concurrency Runtime (ConcRT), the Parallel Pattern Library (PPL), and the Asynchronous Agents Library that ship with Visual Studio 2010. Link Removed More...

We had to cover monads eventually, and there are many great monad tutorials out there (see, for example, here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Tutorials#Using_monads). In fact, there are web resources concerned solely with organizing the many monad tutorials available in the wild, and...

ECMAScript is object-based: basic language and host facilities are provided by objects, and an ECMAScript program is a cluster of communicating objects. An ECMAScript object is a collection of properties each with zero or more attributes that determine how each property can be used—for example...
