Deep Dive: Microsoft Build 2015 Day One Keynote Highlights
Day One started with a long winding trek to the light that is the Build 2015 keynote.
Light at the end of the tunnel.
Satya's first demo contained the Surface, a pen, a musical C# and F# joke and off course, an index out of bounds error.
You mean there's more to F# than being a hipster programming language?
The Gu presented Azure as the only hyper cloud solution with more data center locations than Google and Amazon combined. Also you can leverage your existing skills, even Linux and JavaScript.
THIS IS THE BEST CLOUD!
Next was the CEO of Docker, Ben Golub, Docker for Windows is on. Like Donkey Kong. "Choose the best damn tools for the best damn application. And run it on any server". Love it!
Minecraft Docker container. Check! Thank you Mark.
Publish Docker container right from Visual Studio 2015. Check!
Attach the debugger from Visual Studio 2015 to a running Container and hitting breakpoints. Container running nix and .Net Core CLR.

Now comes the more boring stuff. Office with a SAP-plugin. On iPad! I take back the boring part.
The iPad even makes SAP better.
Every major modern application needs a solid extension model.
Uber extension in the iOS edition of Outlook.
And REST-endpoints.
If you're seeing JSON, you're doing something right.
Memo to self: disable drug dealer notifications while presenting on stage.
Even Satya wants the iPad Air 2. Should've been gold though.
Windows 10 is a new generation of Windows. Mobility across devices. Benefit the user.

It's a phone. I mean it's a PC!
