You mean get it working with a CI server? If so, yes it can from what I've read.

I think it works with AppVeyor and Team City: http://cakebuild.net/dsl/build-system

Note: I've never used Cake myself, but have seen it recommended alongside Fake.

And there's Cake for C# peeps - http://cakebuild.net

And there's also a C# version of FAKE, named Cake. http://cakebuild.net/

If it's been a little while since you last looked at Atom, then consider trying it again, they've spent some effort on optimising it lately. I mean, it's still not the speediest around, but it's improved leaps and bounds from even a few months ago. It is obviously not the only editor with an OmniSharp plugin. There are many others. [1]

I believe that debugging support on VS Code is currently limited to Node and Mono (and that's only on OS X/Linux) [2]. The team(s) behind OmniSharp (that is the various editor plugins) do desire bringing debugging support to one or more editors.

What parts of VS Code do you want open sourced?

VS Code utilises[1] OmniSharp-Roslyn[2] (which is an open source project not started by MS) to provide intellisense and refactoring for C#.

If you want to use something that is fully open-sourced (since day 1) and also utilises OmniSharp Roslyn, then check out OmniSharp Atom [3], which is an Atom plugin written mostly in TypeScript. OmniSharp Atom and OmniSharp Roslyn are both very welcoming of contributions. So if there's something that you see that's missing, feel free to send a PR :)

OmniSharp-Roslyn is planning on utilising VS RefactoringEssentials[1] sometime in the future[2], which used to be NR6Pack (and part of NRefactory 6). RefactoringEssentials is based on Roslyn.

So don't worry about OmniSharp too much :)

My guess is, they figure that most non-tech people will continue using IE 11 if Edge was not shipped with Windows 10 rather than moving to Edge when Edge shipped.

It's perhaps also worth looking at Microsoft's CodeFormatter: https://github.com/dotnet/codeformatter

It rewrites code to match their coding style.

We used the xunitconverter (which is part of the codeformatter repo) recently to convert a whole bunch of old MS Test based unit tests to xUnit. https://github.com/dotnet/codeformatter/tree/master/src/XUni...

It's not using v1 yet, but check out omnisharp https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn

Definitely.

Keep an eye on the published roadmap on their wiki: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/wiki/Roadmap

Beta 7's focus on cross platform should be good!

It's certainly come a long way since it started. Kudos to those involved on both the autocomplete-plus contributors and the Atom team.

The Atom third party packages and the active community around it is part of why I use it.

While it hasn't replaced Visual Studio for my work, but with the OmniSharp package (realtime c# intellisense, which piggybacks on this autocomplete-plus package) means for the times when I need to make edits without opening (and waiting) VS, I can do so and still get my c# intellisense.

Agreed. And let's not forget our Kiwi neighbours too.

Amazon and Microsoft (and others) have Australian based cloud services now, so you'd hope that they might invest in future projects that connect us to the rest of the world.

I know SubPartners currently are trying to build up a few undersea cable networks that connect at various points both domestically and internationally.

From the comments, if you've got the 32bit version installed and want to install the 64bit version (basically, it's not an update from one to the other):

– Uninstall Win32 – Don’t remove your profile – Install Win64 (it’s a full installer vs. a update)

The discussion in this corefx github issue is pretty interesting to follow.

https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/973

It probably answers a few of the questions several have asked in this thread with regards to what the .NET Core is.

That's the thing, it might well be on "mum's (next) tablet" (probably not phone).

There's a raft of really cheap (7/8/10 inch) Windows 8.1 tablets that are price competitive with their Android equivalents. At the moment they are running full Windows with an Intel Atom processor. From what I've read, these will all be capable of being upgraded to Windows 10 when release.

Spartan is going to be released for both Windows Phone 10 (or whatever they are calling it) in addition to Windows 10, from what I've read.

That's the Microsoft Ergonomic Sculpt keyboard.

I've got one, and while it's not a mechanic keyboard. It is quite comfortable, and if you want an ergo keyboard I'd highly recommend it.

Here's a review by Marco Arment: http://www.marco.org/2013/08/30/sculpt-ergonomic-keyboard-re...

That's a really cool easter egg :)

It's interesting that Opera Mini commands just under 8% of the mobile market share.

http://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qpri...

It's also interesting to note that the "Android browser" (so not Chrome) still has a significant market share 15.65%.

Though that only describes the Bayer array (which is used by most cameras except for Fujifilm and Sigma).

Fujifilm's mirrorless cameras use what they call X-Trans CMOS sensor tech - http://www.fujifilm.eu/uk/products/digital-cameras/interchan...

And Sigma uses the Foveon X3 CMOS sensor - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveon_X3_sensor

I think the focus of the CLR/.NET team at MS at this stage is on the server side (eg: ASP.NET).

So it's not going to suddenly open the floodgates of .NET apps running on a Mac. That's still a long long way away (if at all).

There's also the Open Xml SDK, written in C# and works with Mono (in addition to .NET on Windows)

https://github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK

Someone has also created a javascript version of the SDK - http://openxmlsdkjs.codeplex.com/

If I understand correctly, I think Powershell DSC (Desired State Configuration) might be able to do what you need with regards to windows server config.

See: - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn249918.aspx - http://powershell.org/wp/2013/10/02/building-a-desired-state...

There's one company already investing/building on this called SubPartners - http://www.subpartners.net

They are planning 3 submarine cables: 1. APX Central - Connecting Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide and Perth. http://www.subpartners.net/cables/apx-central.html 2. APX East - Sydney, NZ, California. http://www.subpartners.net/cables/apx-east.html 3. APX West - Perth, Jakarta, Singapore. http://www.subpartners.net/cables/apx-west.html

All 3 are planned to be completed by Q3, 2016. Obviously lots of factors and risks involved.

If Google (and others with investments in local clouds. eg: Amazon, Microsoft etc) wanted to invest, those 3 would be what you'd want to invest in.

Cool. I like the idea of having a QR code displayed on screen.

Maybe you can do something similar to replace boarding passes for airlines? Many airlines these days allow you to do a web checkin at home etc.

Anyway, this reminded me that a friend created an app for Google Glass to show nearby transit options (trains/trams/buses etc) and their departure times.

So glasses vs watches?

To be honest, lets pick an arbitrary future date (eg: 5, 10, etc years from now) what type wearable tech would we be wearing?

According to https://twitter.com/parliamentedits, it looks like the source is here - https://github.com/edsu/anon

Have fun :)

There's a pull request for a basic mono build file - https://github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-SDK/pull/3

I didn't need a reboot after the install, but I'm on Win 8.1.

Have just installed the Dev Channel version of IE11 and noted that the dev channel version contains additional ticks for:

Input (was 5/20, now 7/20) * Gamepad control

Storage (was 26/30, now 30/30) * Database storage - Objectstore Blob support - Objectstore ArrayBuffer support

So, previous IE 11 score: 372/555, IE 11 Dev Channel score: 378/555.

Yeah, that one was rather fishy.

It guessed correctly that I was Australian.

There's already other 8" (Windows based) tablets out there. Majority of which are powered by Intel Atom processors.

One of them (an ASUS VivoTab Note 8 http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_VivoTab_Note_8_M80TA...) even has a Wacom stylus.

That said, there's been rumours of touch optimised versions of Office being released (soon).

OneNote is pretty good for note taking. I still remember first using it with an XP based tablet/laptop (Toshiba Portege m200) many years back.
