My 4-video overview of Visual Studio Team Services

I had been working on Git environments previously and was able to get my hands dirty with VS Team Services a while ago, while I never used TFS, I thought I should give it a go indeed to see if I can "learn it." Indeed I did learn and personally saying, it was not as much tough as I had thought of it to be.

So, if you are a beginner I have something for you, if you are struggling with VS Team Services, you are also addressed, kindly have a look at my YouTube series that takes you from zero to hero in VS Team Services in a matter of only few hours and a free account from Visual Studio.

Part 1: Introduction

This part provides you with an overview of the service itself. It shows you, how to navigate here and there in the service online, how to setup a few things and how to interact with the service portal itself. Watch the video on YouTube, 

Part 2: Developing with VSTS

In this video, I head over to basically explain how you can develop your applications in remote teams and then merge them together to provide a flexible way and mean for your team to collaborate. I explain how the overall, source control thing can come to handy. 

The same video contains a little introduction to Build definitions in VSTS, how you can create multiple build definitions to support your projects etc. Watch video on YouTube, 


Part 3: How to understand Build results

Often it can be a bit frustrating to understand how your project was built, where the binaries are generated. In this module, I talk about after-build stuff only, watch on YouTube, 

Part 4: Continuous Integration/Deployment for your projects

No DevOps can be a complete suite, if they do not talk about CI/CD in detail and provide the services for this. In my (until now) final video, I talk about this topic in detail. 

I used Microsoft Azure App Service to be used as a deployment target. If you would like to know how, watch the video on YouTube, 


For more videos, kindly leave a message and I would love to make a tutorial for that. 

'Til next time.

PyCharm vs Visual Studio Code for Python Development

Image
One of the most primary questions in the minds of a development startup, a beginner, is which language to use, and Okay, if I do have a language, which IDE to consider using with it? These are merely the questions, it goes down in the stack to understand more about different aspects of the IDE, such as, Productivity Performance Extensions and Add-ons Ease of use Learning scope And much more. All these key points are focused toward the development of a software engineer, as he gets to understand how to develop a vital piece of software. For the time being, I have just started out with Python development. Before you start asking me, why I did that:  Python is amazing. Python is being used for many machine learning libraries. Python is portable (just like .NET Core, which is my first love) Scripting is sometimes fun with Python (as compared to bash, command prompt or PowerShell) Open Source software love Python (Blender, GIMP, TensorFlow, etc. etc. etc.).  Long story s

Understanding the Azure Cosmos Db

Image
Microsoft recently introduced, Azure Cosmos Db accounts in their Build 2017. Who doesn't like a successful Build , and personally saying there were so many excellent announcements made at Build, that it has been intriguing almost everyone to know more about the products Microsoft is offering now. Among them is the Azure Cosmos Db. So, in this post I will give a million-feet overview, that you can read in under 5 minutes to fully understand what Azure Cosmos Db is all about. What is Azure Cosmos Db First thing to understand is that, Azure Cosmos Db is a wrapper around all the models that developers are using currently. Following are only a few of the models implemented by developers all across the globe,  Relational models -- the SQL databases. NoSQL models -- Azure already has a NoSQL model, DocumentDB.  Key-value pairs -- Typically apart from NoSQL, Key-value pairs are highly used for data interchanging; such as in JSON documents.  Graph etc -- Gremlin was mentioned to

Setting Up a MongoDB Server on Alibaba Cloud

Image
Since the early days of NoSQL, many database engines have been developed but MongoDB is no doubt one of the pioneers in the scalable, fault-tolerant NoSQL database. MongoDB itself is document-oriented, meaning you store the documents, not objects and entities. And this the core concept of the NoSQL databases, you don't manage the relations between the entities, rather, you store them with them. It's like, instead of assembling Lego pieces as needed and returning them back to their own blocks, you prepare a complete object, and then store it in the box—saves time each time you have to show what you built. This is something that happens when we are trying to store the objects (the documents!), and data inside the MongoDB server. MongoDB internally takes care of several concepts for us, such as (but not limited to) sharding, replication, indexing and much more of similar operational management services. Recently, I stumbled upon Alibaba Cloud services for databases, their Apsa
