This Saturday, 12th January, I got a chance to talk about Azure DevOps at a local meetup. The event was about Azure DevOps Launch & the session was about CI/CD and the title for my session was:
Let’s Build LOLSystems : Complete CI/CD in Action. LOL-System is a custom I bought for my fictitious company used for demo purpose. I showed how we can setup CI/CD for ASP.NET Core application in Azure DevOps and deploy it to Azure Web Apps.
Namaste,

On April 27th, Microsoft and Communities hosted a Global Windows Azure BootCamp. Pune User Group also hosted this event and it was a grand success. With excellent in-depth topic coverage and pool of speakers, this event was well received. You can check the event pictures here on Facebook.
Along with my friend, Sarang Kulkarni, I presented a session on Windows Azure Mobile Services. You can find the presentation here

I had to write this post because many of my friends got influenced by some posts on some of the tech sites.
PLEASE NOTE: I’VE GATHERED SOME OF THE NOTES ON THIS POST FROM OTHER SITES AND PROVIDED LINKS TO THEM. IF OTHER SITES HAVE ANY ISSUES, I’LL REMOVE THEM. THESE NOTES AND COMMENTS FROM OTHER USERS ARE FOR REFERENCE ONLY. JUST SEND ME A MAIL ON mayur.tendulkar {at} gmail.com
These days, media has decided to blame Microsoft for everything. Without thinking about the reason or the meaning of the statement made by someone. Media just makes it public in wrong way.
It is since ages. You got the blue screen? blame it on Microsoft. But, you’ll never understand that this blue screen can appear because of many reasons – incorrectly written driver, unsigned drivers, malfunctioning software. But nobody blame those developers, but Microsoft.

As my friend Raj once told me, there were (and still valid now) rules about how to write apps for Windows. Where developers should put their setting/app files? Where developers should store roaming data and local data? And many more are there. People developed apps without following it. And media blamed Microsoft. So, here comes METRO Windows Store / Windows Phone App Development Guidelines. Follow it or leave it.
Recently, many sites posted about support for Windows Phone devices ending in 2014. Crap!!!
I’m going to highlight some of the comments from The Verge. You can find these comments here: http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/18/4118326/windows-phone-8-support-until-july-2014
One post over there marks my current situation. I bought my Mozart in/around Dec’ 10. It still receives update. Rather, just yesterday I received one.
And one guy’s comment over here:
Unfortunately, these devices (7.0) can’t be upgraded to 8.0 because of kernel level changes. I can understand this one. But that is not valid for 8.0 device upgrades. I don’t see Microsoft will again ‘reimagine’ Windows Phone 8.0.
For sure: Microsoft can make things much more clear if they put right marketing around Windows Phone and make statements which are highly clear that nobody can take any other meaning from it.
And the last one, from The Verge itself: http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/27/3808858/htc-hd2-running-windows-RT
Just have a guess about HTC HD2 specs, release date and dates for support end.
I think, that’s it. Rather than discussing on the support lifecycle, I would have loved if the discussion was around features and apps that are required on Windows Phone.
By the way, Microsoft has the best support lifecycle than any other vendor over here. Imagine devices built for Windows XP Tablet Edition (Toshiba Tablet) running Windows 7 very smoothly.
— JUST MY THOUGHTS…
