So things have been a little crazy this month, but overall they are finally getting to a place where I can manage. I didn’t say they were slowing down, just that things were manageable.

Down to business…

### Development:

- [All Things Xamarin at Microsoft Ignite 2019](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin/xamarin-at-microsoft-ignite-2019/) : As always, I am a fan of mobile development, and it was interesting to see the new announcements at Ignite.  
- [Use C# 8 In Any .NET Project Today](https://montemagno.com/use-csharp-8-everywehre/): C# really is probably my favorite language, I appreciate how versatile it is.  

### Cloud:

- [Building Modern Cloud Applications using Pulumi and .NET Core](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/building-modern-cloud-applications-using-pulumi-and-net-core/) : Interesting to see this, although I’m going to do more research on how they implement it and pros and cons vs terraform.
- [Azure Container Registry: preview of repository-scoped permissions](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-container-registry-preview-of-repository-scoped-permissions/) : Really like seeing the enhancements in secret in the cloud PaaS offerings for K8s, so seeing this is a nice touch.
- [FedRAMP Moderate Blueprints helps automate US federal agency compliance](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/fedramp-moderate-blueprints-helps-automate-us-federal-agency-compliance/) : Blueprints really are a great offering and one people should consider whether you need compliance or not as some of the controls are universal.  

### Audio / Video:

- [Working with Entity Framework & Docker](https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/On-NET/Entity-Framework-and-Docker) : Really interesting to see this video on how entity framework can be implemented with Docker. Always been a fan of entity framework. 
- [Azure Machine Learning Studio](https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/AI-Show/Azure-Machine-Learning-Studio) : Really interesting to see more work done in the space of demystifying AI.  
- [New YouTube Series: Computer things they didn’t teach you in school](https://www.hanselman.com/blog/NewYouTubeSeriesComputerThingsTheyDidntTeachYouInSchool.aspx) : I’ve always liked Scott Hanselman, and the educator in me loves that he’s doing this.  
- [Clustering point data in Azure Maps](https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Internet-of-Things-Show/Clustering-point-data-in-Azure-Maps) : Azure Maps continues to make it very easy to implement solutions that allow options for visualizing and using geo-spatial data.
- [Introduction to Azure Data Studio Notebooks](https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Data-Exposed/Introduction-to-Azure-Data-Studio-Notebooks) : Love seeing this movement to leverage notebooks around big data.  

### Fun Stuff:

So Disney+ launched, and I think its a toss-up as to who was more excited, me or my kids. But along with it came “The Mandalorian”, which mixes the western / crime genre with star wars. What’s not to love. Going to watch the mandalorian tonight. So excited!
