Microsoft. #Build2015 Day 2... Microsoft has officially wrapped up its second keynote for this year’s Build Developer Conference. Today’s keynote wasn’t as announcement-heavy as the first, but here are the highlights. Windows 10 gets demoed on Arduino and Raspberry Pi This was hinted yesterday during the demo of HoloLens on a Raspberry Pi robot, but today Microsoft went a little further in its demo that ran its Windows 10 OS on both Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The demo focused on using the boards as a way to create “Internet of Things” functionality, such as enabling remote control on an Arduino device or building a camera using the boards to act as a security cam. ➤ Windows 10 is now available on Raspberry Pi and Arduino New developer tools Microsoft promised at the start of today’s conference that things will be even more technical than yesterday and delivered, announcing some new dev tools: Vorlon, a framework to help you remotely debug Javascript, Project Oxford, a set of APIs for processing face, vision and speech, and GitHub Enterprise for Azure The latter will feature Visual Studio 2015 integration as well. ➤ Vorlon is a new framework from Microsoft that helps you debug Javascript on remote devices ➤ Microsoft Azure gets GitHub Enterprise support. ➤ Microsoft built a fun tool that guesses your age How-old.net takes the Internet by a storm Having someone guess your age can either be a fun or terrifying activity.
