In this episode we talk about keeping our projects together with OneDrive and eventually upgrading to git for full version control. Segment 1 - Starting Without Git We used to use OneDrive to keep each other on the same page We had the same OneDrive directory sync to our computers so that our work would carry over However, this is not proper version control and therefore a bunch of conflicts would happen if we were working on the same projects, luckily most were minor and just required someone save their work again This solution did work for us, however, and we used it for well over a year with only a few major sync issues - which is pretty good for a program that’s not meant for version control To this day we still use OneDrive to keep some common files around, like graphical assets, however, our projects are not housed there anymore Our experience with using OneDrive rather than a proper version control did show us that it is possible to get started working as a team, even without the “industry standard” tools (in this case git) This is especially true if you work on projects yourself, or don’t touch any of the same files as another developer, so you can still have reliable file access across various computers while you learn how to use git Segment 2 - Transition to Git Working on your own is still a good time to learn and practice your Git skills. Even though it might seem like it’s slowing you down it really is just preparing you for the eventuality of working in a team environment and is something that is definitely going to come up during interviews and jobs Learn the basics first Cloning - initial act of taking the repository from your git source to your local computer Pulling - taking the changes from the remote (git source) repository is updating your local repository Committing - This is an action that ties the current changes you’ve made in your local repository to a ‘commit’ object that you are able to label/message with references to the changes you’ve made Pushing - Taking all your local commits and transferring them (pushing them) to the git source repository Fetching - Updating your local git file with the current updates that are on the git repository (origin) Branches - A system where you can create ‘branches’ that are essentially copies of your repository. This allows you to develop code ‘risk-free’ without touching what is referred to as ‘master’ (master-copy). Usually branches are used for feature development, and best practice is to create a branch for each feature and once that feature i complete to close that branch Merges - This is a system in place to handle taking your current branch and merging it into another one (usually a master copy or a pre-defined integration branch). The trick here is to avoid working on the same portions of code in different branches as the merge will create a conflict that you will have to manually resolve These base core concepts make up most of the functionality you’ll need to know to at least have a good base and be able to integrate easily into any companies workflow Sometimes learning specific workflow habits (like we’ll cover in segment 3) can pigeon hole you as almost every company has a different workflow and if you don’t understand the basic concepts it’ll be tougher to go from one workflow to another Segment 3 - Workflow and Benefits Recently we’ve begun working in larger teams and that has pushed us to develop a Workflow This is just going to be a example of the one we developed. Other companies will use different approaches depending on project complexity, team size, technologies available, etc. Our branch structure is as follow: No one codes in master, it is the production branch and only once the application is fully tested do we promote to master The main development branch is called dev-integration Here is where everyone's feature and design branches will merge into for testing Every developer gets their own branch, usually just one at a time although there are a few exceptions if multiple large features are being worked on at once. Once a developer feels like they have a good section of their feature is done and ready for testing they will create a pull request A pull request is a system within gits infrastructure to signify the attempt to merge branches Usually it’s easier to use your git service (bit bucket, github, gitlab) as they have a UI designed for this feature It allows the team to view all the changes that will take place during the merge, and gives them a chance to provide feedback in a thread style format Once approved, the lead developer can initiate the merge A developer does not need to initiate a pull request to merge dev-integration into their local branch as there are no consequences of that, they can just a do a git pull origin [branch name] Pull requests also provide a good history on your project, as long as the team names their requests appropriately you can look back easily to when a feature when merged in Like I mentioned previously once everything is merged into dev-integration and thoroughly tested, a pull request can be opened into master. This will then be vetted by the senior developers/engineers on the project and merged, after which production deployment and dev ops can begin This is of course just a snippet of the whole process and there is plenty of nuance that occurs, the more you work with git the more appreciation you have for it usually Useful Resource - API Marketplace https://rapidapi.com/ A lot of the time app ideas require an external source of information or some sort of off-app computing in order to provide a useful service For example, a video game collection app isn't going to contain all the video games that have and will come out, otherwise the app would be enormous in size Instead when you search for a game to add to your collection, the app will call upon an API which will generally search a massive database of video games alongside other goodies like cover art, release dates, etc. Often times when people come up with an idea for an app, they'll back down from making it because their idea requires a lot of specific information, or needs some sort of machine learning involved. Luckily there are a ton of APIs out there that can usually help out with these types of needs, allowing developers to finish up their apps without filling in massive databases, and learning very complex things like machine learning Today's resource is an API marketplace called RapidAPI I found RapidAPI, or more specifically Mashape, when I stumbled upon a Hearthstone API that linked to it MaShape was acquired by RapidAPI a few years ago, so that's the correlation between them in case you're familiar with the MaShape brand over the RapidAPI one RapidAPI contains tons of APIs in their marketplace that range from movie databases, to facial recognition Each API has their own page that contains a bunch of useful information such as: popularity, average latency over the past 30 days, average success rate over the past 30 days. Plus more technical things such as how to access the API in a variety of methods like NodeJS, PHP, and more It also tells you whether the app is free, freemium, paid, etc. You can even test our the API right on the page Web News - Multi-Device Workflow Working across different devices is getting easier and easier whether you’re using the Chrome Extension that was just mentioned, using one of the Microsoft Office apps with the Microsoft Launcher (quickly open from “recent activities” in the mobile versions of the Office apps), messaging people in something like WhatsApp across the phone and desktop, etc. Does this workflow open up new opportunities for progressive web apps that are responsive You could be working in a PWA on your PC and have your phone automatically sync with whatever you were working on, and open up right where you left off with just a tap This sort of workflow also points towards a more unified OS future, whether that be with more integrations between OSs (ie Word on Mac), or actually consolidating different versions of operating systems (ChromeOS/Android) Microsoft added a Chrome extension that allows Chrome to access the Windows timeline With the use of the Microsoft launcher being able to pick up exactly where you left off on your comp is a major convenience You can find us on...

Microsoft’s $32 Billion Q2 Earnings were Inspired and Powered by PartnersMicrosoft's Revenue Highlights Microsoft's gaming revenue was up 8% year over year during the second quarter, with revenue from Xbox software and services rising 31% over that same period. Surface "had its biggest quarter ever this holiday, delivering strong double-digit growth in both consumer and commercial" according to CEO Satya Nadella Microsoft Cloud growth exploded as commercial cloud revenue was up 48% year over year, anchored by Azure revenue growth of 76%.Microsoft's Earnings by the Numbers Earnings of $1.08 a share Revenues of $32.5 billion Intelligent-cloud revenue of $9.38 billion $32 billion in revenue. That’s an incredible number that Satya Nadella and Amy Hood shared during the Q2 earnings call last week. Just as impressive is the commercial cloud revenue increase of 48 percent year-over-year to $9 billion. Did you know that 95 percent of Microsoft’s commercial revenue flows directly through our partner ecosystem? With more than 7,500 partners joining that ecosystem every month, partner growth and partner innovation are directly fueling our commercial cloud growth. One accelerant, the IP co-sell program, now has thousands of co-sell ready partners that generated an incredible $8 billion in contracted partner revenue since the program began in July 2017. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. And we know that partners make more possible. As a customer-first, partner-led company, we start with the needs of our customers and work with our partners to deliver the best outcomes for each organization. We look forward to continued evolution in the Microsoft-partner relationship this year—with more innovation in AI, more co-selling opportunities, and more ways to connect partners to customers and to other partners through Azure Marketplace and AppSource. I invite you to learn more about how Microsoft leaders from the Azure, Dynamics, and ISV teams are supporting our partners, and how partners can capitalize on the opportunities ahead.

The ongoing conversation on human-centered design for AI systems shows that designers are hungry for trustworthy AI-centric design heuristics or guidelines. Read the Full StoryDataSense for Microsoft Education’s Family of Products One of Microsoft’s oldest and biggest verticals for its Azure cloud business has been education, and today it announced an acquisition that it hopes will help it deepen its reach: it has acquired DataSense — a data management platform that can be used to collect, integrate and report information from across a range of online education applications and services — from an educational technology company called BrightBytes, to integrate the functionality into Azure. DataSense is a master platform that’s used by schools and educational authorities both to ingest information as well as report it to state and other authorities, covering disparate applications and other data sources. Even before being acquired by Microsoft, it already had a lot of reach, currently being used to manage data for millions of students in the U.S., BrightBytes says. The Microsoft acquisition should supercharge its growth.
