    SLW 22: Live in Antwerp with Chrissy LeMaire

    In this special episode of the Sliding Windows podcast we broadcast live from the annual PowerShell conference PSConfEU that took place in Antwerp in 2024. My guest today is one of the best known celebreties of the PowerShell Universe: Chrissy LeMaire, inventor of the DBATools, Manning book author and Github star - to just give a few examples of her highly acclaimed work. Chrissy comes from a Cajun family in Louisiana (USA), whose French-speaking ancestors still have a special influence on the culture of this region today. Chrissy has lived and worked for many years in Europe now, embracing the the richness of cultures and influences in different countries and regions. A little different from a regular episode, we talk less about a specific area of expertise. Our main topic is Chrissy's career from database expert to book author and social media star and her very special view on the future of IT. Of course, we talk about "artificial" and "human intelligence". Chrissy shares a pivotal moment in her academic journey inspired by a quote from Paul Dressel, catalyzing a transformation in her approach to learning and paving the way for academic excellence. Transitioning to Chrissy's professional narrative, the dialogue navigates towards her engagement with PowerShell projects like DBA tools underscore her ardor for technology and perpetual learning. Steering towards technology's cutting edge, the dialogue unfolds the speaker's exploits with PowerShell and SQL Server migrations, elucidating the journey of crafting modules and scripts to streamline migration processes. Discussions on Microsoft's support for DBA tools, GitHub collaboration, AI integration with PowerShell, and the exploitation of AI engines like GitHub Copilot, underscore the transformative potential of AI in ameliorating workflows and augmenting productivity. Alongside nuanced reflections on Cajun heritage and language intricacies from Louisiana, theepisode culminates in a jovial French language quiz and a toast with craft beer, emblematic of shared ardor for technology, culture, and the enriching exchange encapsulated throughout the conversation. Thanks to Geoffroy Dubreuil and James Ruskin for their support with the Monad Manifesto quiz.

    SLW 21: .NET mit Olaf Lischke

    Zur Jahrtausendwende angekündigt, veröffentlichte Microsoft im Jahr 2002 die erste Version dieses ".NET Framework" für Windows; eine Programm- bzw. Laufzeitbibliothek, die Anwendungsentwicklern in Form einer sogenannten Klassenbibliothek zahlreiche nützliche Schnittstellen zur Verfügung stellt. Die Klassenbibliothek kann mit einer Vielzahl von Programmiersprachen genutzt werden, gleichzeitig sind die kompilierten Anwendungen sowohl auf unterschiedlicher Hardware als auch auf unterschiedlichen Betriebssystemen lauffähig. Der besondere Ansatz von .NET ist die Bereitstellung einer abstrakten Laufzeitumgebung, kurz einer VM ("virtual machine"). .NET Anwendungen werden mit einem Compiler in die spezifische Maschinensprache dieser VM übersetzt - der sogenannten "Intermediate Language". Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht es, dass lediglich die Laufzeitumgebung für unterschiedliche Hardware und Betriebssysteme portiert und nicht jede Applikation für die jeweilige Zielplattform neu kompiliert werden muss. Die Architektur von .NET erinnert nicht zufällig an das ältere JAVA der Firma Sun und dessen JRE ("java runtime environment).

    SLW 20: WinGet with Demitrius Nelon

    Demitrius Nelon is the product manager responsible for the Package Manager for Windows which had its beginnings in Canada with an independent software developer named Keivan Beigi, who inspired Microsoft to create their own implementation. Keivan was guest on the "Sliding Windows" podcast, episode 18. Demetrius talks about his personal background and career journey, mentioning his service in the U.S. Navy and his work at various technology companies, including Microsoft, VMware, and Amazon. Prior to the employment of Demitrius Microsoft saw the value in Keivans primal AppGet implementation and used it as a template for their own package manager, initially named AppInstallerCLI due to its positioning under the umbrella of Microsofts sideloading application named AppInstaller. During its early days the AppInstallerCLI/WinGet was targeted as a package manager for developers. Demetrius joined the team in December 2019, and the initial preview launch of WinGet took place at the Build 2020 conference. He provides insights about WinGets inspiration, security, integration, future plans.

    When Microsoft acquired GitHub.com in 2018, no one could doubt that there is a deep cultural change going on in Redmond, Washington. A few years earlier, in 2015, Microsoft began to invest in a  new text editor that can simply be described like this: "One editor to rule them all" VSCode and GitHub quickly started their journey as a congenial couple, conquering the hearts of the users - many of whom were not previously Microsoft devotees. Justin Grote is one of those very gifted IT pros who have embraced Microsoft's new course with open arms.

    When Microsoft announced a "Windows Package Manager" (better known as Winget) in the context of the Build conference in 2020, hardly anyone suspected that this overdue, long-desired tool was not a "Microsoft original". A Canadian programmer, my today's guest Keivan Beigi, had developed a package manager called "AppGet" a few years earlier and made it available under an open source license. When Microsoft employees contacted him one fine day, what belonged together seemed to come together. But then the story took its own course. We talk about the background of his technology, package management in general and Microsofts fickle strategy towards its own community.
