Azure Weekly

Issue #288 - 16th August 2020

This week, Microsoft discusses how the UK faces an AI skills gap, and what we can do about it. The Microsoft Developer UK team has announces a new show: The Cloud Skills Show, where they will be running through how developers can strengthen their understanding and develop their career.

Elsewhere, Davide Mauri provides a Video Playlist on Azure SQL for Beginners, Chloe Condon showcases the BitCamp Final Projects by High School Students, and Justin Yoo shared to how to Configure Codespaces for .NET Core Development. Clemens Reijnen discusses why remote working demands Enterprise DevOps transformation, and collaboration in the cloud.

Clemens Vasters highlighted on Twitter that he created 6 x 15 minute course about the AMQP 1.0 protocol in 2015, if you're interested in messaging, this might be worth a watch, and while we're on YouTube Maoni Stephens has created a new YT channel dedicated to exploring Garbage Collection in .NET; this may not initially sound very related to Azure, but as we've highlighted in a number of articles on high performance .NET, reducing memory allocations can be the difference between processing thousands of messages per second, and processing millions of messages per second.
