Microsoft and Me

The most important thing a learner of software has to decide is - who to get in bed with?

The Microsoft of a few years ago, was a company no one wanted to get in bed with. And it was smart enough to realize this, and change its ways.

A year ago, it kicked me out of its cloud, and IBM did the same thing. Last month, it changed its mind, and allowed me back in again. And I have been happily looking at what it has there. Some pretty impressive stuff!

It has F#, something that really impresses me - and tons of courses to help you learn it. And Visual Studio, the best IDE there is. It says it has integrated this with its Azure cloud - but I haven't tested that yet. If so, it is ahead of everyone else - including AWS.
