Did a hello world test with  RabbitMQ on .NET Core running under Linux. Must say it was really easy. Took no more than 15 minutes to set up the server, writing the code for the sender and the receiver and sending the first message between the applications. Now lets see if this is something that can be used for creating event driven microservices...

It seems like Microsoft is putting a lot of effort in getting .NET available for more platforms than Windows. The release of  .NET core  made some basic .NET functionality available on both Mac and Linux and the upcoming release will add quite a lot more functionality to the core packages. Now, in order to develop in .NET you might want a good IDE. Latest news is that Microsoft releases  Visual Studio for Mac . Currently available as downloadable preview. In the future this might be a better alternative than running Visual Studio inside Windows on a Virtual Machine running on Mac that I've seen some developers are currently doing.

In their latest development release of Windows 10 Microsoft has gone to great lengths to replace the well known command prompt with Powershell. Start -> Run -> "cmd" will start Powershell, shift + right-click in Explorer and selecting to open a command window will also start Powershell. If you are a Windows developer, this is a good time to start getting to know the Powershell. Check out this link  Getting started with Windows Powershell .

Hacker news  reports that the Google Pixel Phone  got hacked in 60 seconds  on PwnFest 2016 in Seoul. The chinese team of White Hat hackers won $120 000 for hacking it. Google will now start working on a patch for the vulnerability.

Keep a look out for my upcoming longer review of Øredev 2016. Right now I am exhausted. Happy, but exhausted.

Published my first Kata on  Codewars  today. The goal of the Kata is to give the student a basic introduction to LINQ by giving some examples where loops are used and asking the student to replace the loops with methods from the System.Linq namespace. Those that are Codewars enabled can try out the Kata at https://www.codewars.com/kata/581d2647b2d02e33be000094 Have fun!

In an attempt to compile part of an autocompletion plugin for Vim I had to download and install CMake (usually I do not use CMake but this plugin required it). In the time of writing the latest version of CMake available on CMake.org is the release candidate CMake 3.7.0-rc3. So I grabbed it and went on with the installation steps. After CMake generation when trying to build (cmake --build) I noticed that the build failed since the generated files targeted Visual Studio 2010 and not Visual Studio 2015 as I had specified. I deleted the files and regenerated, only to end up with the same errors. Scratching my head for a while I finally did an attempt to uninstall the CMake release candidate and install the latest release version, 3.6.3, instead. With this version of CMake everything worked as expected.
