<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMicrosoft has set up a new landing page aimed at developers who use Windows and work with cross-platform developer tools such as Node.js, React, Java, Kotlin, Python, Xamarin, and Android Studio. <\/p>\n
The new resource caters to developers who are using Windows to build sites, services and systems for Linux-based cloud environments and Android devices. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
There’s also guidance on using Microsoft’s latest open-source tools, including Windows 10’s Windows Subsystem for Linux, Windows Terminal, the WinGet Windows Package Manager, and PowerToys. <\/p>\n
Microsoft has been gradually building up its collection of open-source tools for development on Windows 10, this May releasing the WinGet package manager<\/a> as well as version 1.0 of Windows Terminal<\/a>. <\/p>\n It’s also been regularly adding new utilities to PowerToys<\/a> and is preparing WSL to run Linux GUI apps, as well as providing GPU access for WSL<\/a>.Pursue New Career Heights with 65 Hours of Training in Salesforce, One of Today’s Most In-Demand Skills.<\/p>\n “If you’re new to using or developing on Windows, we have your back. 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n As part of the initiative, Microsoft has created a new repository on GitHub<\/a> specifically for issues that affect developers using Windows to build applications for Windows or Linux, Android, IoT devices, servers, containers and the cloud. <\/p>\n Developers can use the repository to report problems with developer tools such as compilers as well as runtime platforms like Node.js, .NET, and Python. <\/p>\n SEE: Programming language popularity: Python overtakes Java – as Rust reaches top 20<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Turner explains that the repo lets developers who use Windows submit and discuss issues directly with the Windows engineering teams who don’t already have a repo of their own. The issues can include problems with using Windows itself, or running code on Windows. <\/p>\n And he adds that initially Microsoft will only be accepting developer-related performance issues on Windows rather than bugs affecting mainstream users. However, the plan is to broaden the scope of the repo to include other scenarios.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Liam Tung<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
