In this episode Richard Lander from the .NET product team joins Dmitry to discuss the most recent release of .NET Core 2.0, Preview 2. We'll kick off the video by catching you up on what .NET Core is all about, and what is new both in 2.0 and more specifically in the Preview 2 release. Richard will then demo various scenarios such as working with .NET Core 2 using Visual Studio for Mac, show its Docker support, demonstrate editing ASP.NET MVC Core pages hosted on kestrel web server and much more. If you're not caught up on what the "2.0" release is all about, then this episode will get you ready as we head towards GA!

Sean McKenna joins Donovan Brown to talk about the newest service in Azure, Azure Container Instances. Azure Container Instances makes it possible to run Linux and Windows containers directly on Azure infrastructure, without setting up and managing VMs and without adopting a higher-level service. See how easy it is to create and manage containers with the Azure CLI and the Azure portal, and learn how Azure Container Instances relates to container orchestrators, such as Kubernetes.

Brendan Burns joins Donovan Brown to discuss the use of Kubernetes with Azure Container Instances. The Azure Container Instances Connector for Kubernetes allows Kubernetes clusters to deploy Azure Container Instances, which enables on-demand and nearly instantaneous container compute, orchestrated by Kubernetes, without having VM infrastructure to manage and while still leveraging the portable Kubernetes API.

Git is a free, open source distributed version control system. It has become wildly popular as a way to not only manage source code, but also as a way of sharing code with others. In this episode, Robert demonstrates the basics of using Git. In the first 20 minutes, you will get familiar with repos, committing changes, branching, merging and pull requests. Then you will see how to work with Git in Visual Studio [21:15] and how you can store your code in both GitHub and Visual Studio Team Services [52:00].

This week's Data Exposed show welcomes Cathy Palmer into the Channel 9 studio to show how to connect an on-premises Hadoop cluster to Azure Data Lake Store in 3 easy steps! [01:38] - Azure Data Lake Store at a Glance [04:50] - Find out More... [06:00] - Demo Overview and DEMO!

Fusion 360 by Autodesk is my application of choice for making things - real things - plastic and metal and wood things. I've often found myself wanting to select a face in my design and do some fancy 2D graphics on that face, but the sketch environment in Fusion 360 is pretty basic. I finally figured out a good workflow for exporting a face from my 3D design, drawing in 2D on a replica of that face in my vector editor of choice, and then easily bringing my new drawing back in to Fusion 350... perhaps to initiate an extrusion. Hopefully this is helpful to you when making things.
