The first bi-weekly meeting for the month of August 2020 took place on Wednesday, August 5th, starting at 6:00 PM. It was an online event.
Topic: “Developing for Linux and Windows on Windows using WSL!“
Can you really use Windows to develop Linux apps? How real is WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and how close is it to reality? Join Scott Hanselman as he walks you through the state of the art of Linux on Windows. What’s possible, what’s not, what about the Windows Terminal and Docker? Tons of live demos in this highly technical session!
