We are on Build 2019. Here are the most interesting news from Microsoft s conference

The first day of the Microsoft Build conference is in progress. This year, we report it directly from Seattle, Washington.

Keynote was scheduled for 8:30 am, which I read as a sign that the company has much to show today. Very rarely, such conferences start so early.

During each Build conference, the most important moment is expose. They were delivered by Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO. It is in this company that plans the plans for the next year, related to the tools and services for those clients who create their own solutions.

Presentations of Microsoft partners

Another important part are the presentations of Microsoft's partners who show how they use the technology of the giant from Redmond. This year, representatives of such companies as Starbucks (a company with roots and headquarters in Seattle), JP Morgan, Spatial and Epic Games have appeared on the scene.

A representative of Starbucks Coffee appeared on stage to tell how her company, thanks to cooperation with Microsoft, made a digital transformation of its services. Thanks to the Azure cloud, the software upgrade in thousands of coffee machines no longer relies on the distribution of one thousand USB drives ...

As expected, Microsoft decided to leave a few surprises on Monday. One of them was the new version of Azure Speech Service. It has been enriched with the ability to recognize jargon specific to a specific company, industry or professional group. Unfortunately, for now in English.

Computational technologies are starting to work in every aspect of our lives - said Satya Nadella from the stage. This means that the choices made by programmers will define the world in which we will live. Microsoft is committed to providing them with trusted tools and platforms on each technology layer so that they can build magical and engaging solutions for their clients.

Here are the most interesting news from the first day of the Build conference:

For years, Microsoft has been fond of integrating its tools. Once Microsoft Office applications were completely independent programs. It was similar with ... any programming language, which then turned into the first version of Visual Studio. Yes, I am so old that I still have somewhere in the Visual Basic basement in a separate box. We also observe similar integration in the Azure cloud solutions.

Microsoft 365 - a cloud of productivity

However, on the first day of the conference Microsoft focused on Microsoft 365 - a set of productivity tools including Office 365, Windows 10 services, Enterprise Mobillity, Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Stream. For power-users and programmers, these are ready blocks from which they can build tailor-made solutions for their companies. Microsoft Graph.

Changes in Microsoft Edge

The Edge browser is an important part of the Microsoft ecosystem. Many changes await her in the near future. The most important is the fact that its rendering will be based on Chromium. During the expose, however, a few other new products were divided.

IE mode

Yes! Edge will be in the mode of working in backwards compatibility with IE. Only single tabs will work. According to Microsoft, currently 60 percent. companies had to open more than one browser due to the need to use old applications.

Privacy tools

The new privacy tools at Edge include the ability to choose three levels of security: unlimited, balanced and rigorous. This will, for example, enable the safe opening of suspicious and unknown websites.

Edge will also have built-in control over what individual pages can know about the user - more is written by Maciek Gajewski .

Collections

Collections enable better content management, creating lists of pages to read and easy export to integrated Office tools, eg One Note or Word.

Fluid Framework for Web

The new, Web-based platform will enable better cooperation and creation of interactive documents. According to the company's vision, this is the beginning of the end of ordinary, shared documents. Along with the framework, we will receive a new comprehensive, and modular document model.

In addition to the "living" participants of the work on the common content, we will be able to cooperate with intelligent agents who will help us choose photos, download definitions from Wikipedia or ... information about the account based on its number. Developers will be able to create their own agents tailored to the needs of customers.

Logging in from Azure Active Directory to GitHub

Something that all companies that use Active Directory internally were waiting for, but had to create and manage separate accounts to use GitHub. Microsoft today announced the possibility of merging accounts in Azure AD and GitHub, which will enable consistent management of users and permissions and better integration with other tools.

Securing the election

The novelty is quite unexpected, at least for me, the fact that the company has expressed a desire to support the security of free elections (in the political and administrative sense). In this context, she announced the creation of two new initiatives:

  • ElectionGuard SDK - a free and open source software set, created in cooperation with the Galois Institute. Available in summer for download from GitHub, it will support the writing of available and secure elite systems.
  • Microsoft 365 for Campaigns - available for June from now in the US only for members of political parties and election committees.

Quite good for the first hours of the Build conference - in Seattle, Washington, there is not even noon yet. On behalf of our readers I will participate in many interesting sessions and meetings, which you will read about in the coming days on Spider's Web.
