It's going to be a good 2017 with Visual Studio 2017
2016 was a big year for Microsoft developers. We saw good work from Microsoft – the 3 biggest items for SSW are:
-
Microsoft extending support to non-Microsoft platforms.
NET Core allows .NET apps to be run on Windows, OSX and Linux.
You can now also build .NET apps to run on Windows, OSX and Linux with the release of Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac.
This works so well that some of the guys in the SSW office are now developing solely on a Mac!
The most important reason we are embracing .NET Core is it is *500% FASTER*
-
Embraced tools from other platforms like Docker, Gulp and NPM
Most of our new web projects start with Angular and use Angular CLI or Webpack which you can get from NPM
- Focus on cross platform mobile development with the purchase of Xamarin (native), updates to Apache Cordova (hybrid) and updates to UWP (Win10 platforms)
There's a lot to be excited about, plus much more. Keep reading to find out what else is new and exciting with the release of Visual Studio 2017.

Session #1: Developing Intelligent Apps with Power BI Embedded – Peter Myers
You may well be familiar with Microsoft's cloud-based Business Intelligence service named Power BI. In this presentation, you will learn about a new Azure service which enables the embedding of Power BI reports into apps. Power BI Embedded effectively enables app developers to embed fully interactive reports into their apps, without requiring the time and expense of having to build controls from the ground up.
This presentation will introduce the service and describe its capabilities backed by theory and lots of demonstrations. Specific topics will describe how to develop Power BI reports, how to leverage custom visuals, how to effectively secure data, and how to embed reports with intelligent behaviours and actions by using the bidirectional JavaScript API.
This presentation is specifically targeted at app developers.
