Microsoft Build2015 five highlights summary and details

Beijing time on April 29 at 23:30, Microsoft held an annual Build Developer Conference in San Francisco. This is a little boring for the average user, but it is exciting for developers. Microsoft defined the theme of the conference as “Challenge and Innovation” and announced three key points of the conference before the official start of the keynote speech: building a smart cloud platform, redefining productivity suites and corporate offices, and more personalization. Computing experience. Let's take a look at how Microsoft uses products to interpret challenges and innovations.

Win10 system in the new era

From the first day of Win10, everyone started to understand, and the meaning of Win10 for Microsoft is not just a new operation. The system is a brand new era. Compared with Win8, Win10 has retrieved the traditional desktop, and developers can develop adaptive applications for users of different devices in different devices.

Microsoft has lived up to expectations in the Build conference, bringing in some new skills in the latest version of Win10. First of all, the background of the start menu has a blur effect. The buttons such as shutdown, setting, etc. return to the start menu, and there are also collapsed submenus (Jump Lists). The installation application can be automatically adjusted according to the frequency of use.

The Spotlight feature of the lock screen allows users to select live wallpapers based on their own interests. The new version also provides a prompt query function to start the Cortana voice assistant and other messages, which is more user-friendly.

The biggest feature of Win10 is the whole platform. It is not like Apple, it has iOS and OS X, and it is not like Google. There are Android and Chrome OS. In the future, there is only one Microsoft. Win10, whether it is a computer, a mobile phone, a tablet, or even a game console, has only one Win10, which undoubtedly makes the development work much simpler.
Common Windows Applications

Microsoft officially announced the Windows Store for Business at the Build conference. Enterprises and schools can customize the Windows Store, including recommended applications and private LOB business applications.

Android application Java and C++ code can be used to create Win10 mobile apps, and iOS Objective C can also be converted to Win10 apps.

At the same time, Microsoft once again stressed that Win10 can be upgraded for free in the first year after its release. Microsoft said that their goal is to run Win10 on 1 billion devices within 2-3 years.

2, Sparta officially announced the new office debut

Spartan browser officially named Microsoft Edge

Although we are used to the new browsing in Win10 The device is called Spartan, but this is always a project code. Microsoft is now officially announcing that the Spartan browser in the beta version is officially named "Microsoft Edge".

The main interface of Microsoft Edge is very clean and tidy.

The new version also brings new tag features, support for extensions like Firefox and Chrome, and can be integrated into the browser's toolbar.

Most importantly, Chrome extensions can be used for Edge with a simple modification, which is the same as Win10's support for Android and iOS apps.

The strongest office in history

Before the start of the conference, everyone was very curious about the iPad placed on the booth, guessing what applications or features Microsoft would offer about the iPad. When the conference finally reached the Office time, I finally realized that Microsoft will create a “strongest Office”, which is to make the Office consistent on all platforms. For example, the new Office extension can run on the desktop and online versions of Office, and iOS version.
New Word
New Excel
New PPT

The new Outlook also integrates the Uber plugin. Users can create a calendar reminder with a map in Outlook and then call the car directly through Uber. .

In addition to Uber, there is a cool feature in Outlook, everyone can send an email to "host" & rdquo;, so that it appears directly in the foreground, similar to early Some tweets at the time.

Just these? Yes, Microsoft did not reveal much about Office content at this meeting, but these small improvements and new features have already made people feel bright. It can be said that Microsoft wants to do Office “live” This also makes Office2016 the most anticipated product besides Win10.

3All Platform Support Azure Activation VS

All Platform Support Azure Activation VS

Azure can be seen as an operating system based on Microsoft's cloud computing Its primary function is to provide developers with a platform to help develop applications that run on cloud servers, data centers, the Web, and PCs. Microsoft currently has 19 Azure data computing areas and has become a hyper-scale cloud platform. Developers can use Azure as a simple infrastructure to create faster applications.

Now, Azure has reached 50 trillion of content, and developers can use Linux or Windows according to their needs. Last year, Microsoft also launched the open source version of the .Net tool Docker.

Microsoft's 19 Azure Data Computing Areas

At this conference, Microsoft announced that the evaluation version of .NET Core for Linux, Windows, and Mac will arrive today, and Microsoft will begin to use it. NET realizes the interoperability between systems, which is undoubtedly an exciting news for developers. In addition, Microsoft also revealed that they are developing an online version of Visual Studio. Microsoft's cross-platform and cloud efforts further demonstrate that Visual Studio supports online compilation capabilities, pre-installed with the Android emulator.
Real-time Cloud Data Management

Although VS runs in the cloud, developers can still get real-time statistics. For developers, viewing live data and error messages on mobile apps and web-side apps is a big step forward, because without the constraints of the device, developers can manage VS code anytime, anywhere, even on a Mac. Even on Ubuntu.
Debugging VS Code on Mac

Visual Studio Code is a code-optimized editor with almost no limitations, supports PC/Mac/Linux all platforms, and is completely free.

Black Technology HoloLens

In January, HoloLens made his debut in the audience. This time, Microsoft took HoloLens to show off his skills. At the Build conference site, Microsoft showed more HoloLens application scenarios.

A number of window interfaces appeared on the blank wall, suspended in the air, and a Wang Xing person appeared on the floor.

In addition to family scenes, HoloLens can also make great achievements in the industrial and construction industries. For example, people can use HoloLens to demonstrate building modeling and discuss modifications in real time. Or for surgical teaching, HoloLens can realistically display a variety of human organs, greatly improving learning efficiency.

At present, HoloLens partners already have well-known manufacturers such as NASA and JPL, AutoDesk and Unity.

Although there is no expectation of Surface pro 4, there are no more new features of Win10, but in general, Microsoft's Build conference has brought us a lot of expectations. Especially for developers, there are a lot of exciting news. Next, we will wait for these expectations to become a reality as soon as possible!
