Technical and operational ethics are important, but they're only half of the equation: how do you put the community in open source, from mentoring others and encouraging members to network with others? Why does "giving back" matter? How do you find or become a mentor? Stephanie Hurlburt (@sehurlburt) joins Scott Hanselman (@shanselman) to talk about the concept of lending privilege, going beyond quickly reviewing pull requests and clear documentation. You'll hear how (and why) they've built large networks and use them for good, plus their advice for new and experienced developers and finding welcoming online support groups.They'll share their stories, from helping junior devs find roles to running free programs, giving you guidance about where to look for roles, how to find and become a mentor, networking do's and don'ts, and more. 1:11 Lending privilege and giving back2:12 Making yourself visible - pro tips4:06 Banning negativity5:38 Building your virtual support networkRead Stephanie's Guide to Networking Watch Stephanie's Deconstruct 2017 talk Read her mentor list Learn more about Binomial Get Involved (film) link Learn more about Finding and Hosting Community Events (in real life) Follow @ sehurlburt Follow @ openatmicrosoft Follow @ shanselman

Josh Gavant (Sr. Program Manager) joins Erik St. Martin to talk about cloud-native Go apps. Azure offers a whole host of services that Go developers can use to build apps with strong security and scalability. For example, see how Josh implements strong authentication with Azure AD, adds caching with Redis Cache, stores any kind of data on Azure Storage, and sends messages and queues jobs with Service Bus.

The Need- User Interface Design process involves a lot a creativity that starts on a whiteboard where designers share ideas. Once a design is drawn, it is usually captured within a photograph and manually translated into some working HTML wireframe to play with in a web browser. This takes effort and delays the design process. The Solution- Within Microsoft Cognitive Services we host Computer Vision Service. The model behind this service has been trained with millions of images and enables object detection for a wide range of types of objects. In this case, we need to build a custom model and train it with images of hand-drawn design elements like a textbox, button or combobox. The Custom Vision Service gives us with the capability to train custom models and perform object detection for them. Once we can identify HTML objects we use the text recognition functionality present in the Computer Vision Service to extract hand-written text present in the design. By combining these two pieces of information, we can generate the HTML snippets of the different elements in the design. We then can infer the layout of the design from the position of the identified elements and generate the final HTML code accordingly.

The Microsoft Campus in Redmond, WA is (obviously) a smart campus that leverages IoT in many ways. The IoT Show managed to get a pass to visit one of the labs where the Applied Innovation team of the Microsoft Digital Group tests and develops new IoT technologies for Smart Buildings. In this episode, Jeremy Richmond, from McDonald-Miller, demos a solution developed with the Applied Innovation team and used for the maintenance of the HVAC systems across Microsoft's Campus, integrating IoT sensors information and devices with Azure IoT and Dynamics 365 Connected Field Service.

Damian speaks to Nick Blumhardt about structured logging. Trawling through logs is often painful, and it can be hard to discover exactly what events are related to what others. The problem is far worse with popular and highly trafficked sites. Nick talks about how to structure your logging to make discovery much easier, and he shows us how you can use some built-in features in ASP.NET Core to make things easier.
