Abstract

The command-line is an essential tool for many developers and administrators, on any machine and any operating system. Attend this session to learn how Microsoft has been overhauling the Windows command-line experience in Windows 10, making it easier than ever to run Windows tools alongside Linux tools in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and on containers in Docker for Windows, or in the cloud. Yes, Microsoft. THAT Microsoft. No, we're not kidding! :)

Speaker: Tara Raj

Program Manager @Microsoft

Tara is a Program Manager at Microsoft working on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Previously, she worked on the V1 of new tools for SQL Server on Linux including SQL Operations Studio and the mssql-scripter CLI. Her passion for the command line and Linux has transferred over to her work on WSL. Fun fact: a lot of the Windows Console code is older than her.

Any jokes about grey hair/beard will be met with scorn!
