Microsoft: On Windows and developing Linux, Android, web apps? Heres a new resource
Summary
The new resource caters to developers who are using Windows to build sites, services and systems for Linux-based cloud environments and Android devices. It also offers resources for developers switching from Mac to Windows and tips on using open-source tools alongside key Microsoft apps, such as Microsoft Teams, Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Outlook, and Word. We know that switching to an unfamiliar platform/environment can impact your productivity until you get comfortable, so this new landing page will also contain guidance to help you map your Linux/Mac behaviors (eg, keyboard shortcuts) to Windows," explains Rich Turner, a senior program manager on the Windows Developer Team. As part of the initiative, Microsoft has created a new repository on GitHub specifically for issues that affect developers using Windows to build applications for Windows or Linux, Android, IoT devices, servers, containers and the cloud. And he adds that initially Microsoft will only be accepting developer-related performance issues on Windows rather than bugs affecting mainstream users.
