In this week's update, I cover various topics relevant to our developer community. First, I discuss the Dev Proxy interview I conducted with core developers Gary and Waldeck, where we explored the origins, purpose, and future of the tool. I encourage everyone to watch the 30-minute interview available on my YouTube channel or as an upcoming podcast.
Next, I delve into Microsoft's announcement about their Digital Contact Center solution, now available as a separate SKU independent of Dynamics CRM. This change aims to provide flexibility for organizations using different CRMs like Salesforce or ServiceNow. The new offering will be available starting July 1st.
I also highlight a recent blog post from the Microsoft 365 platform team, emphasizing the Teams Toolkit for building AI chatbots and custom co-pilots. This blog post serves as a useful resource for developers who prefer written guides over attending Build sessions.
Additionally, I touch on a blog post discussing CIO perspectives on Microsoft Recall, which has faced some challenges and feedback from the community.
Lastly, I mention Visual Studio Live, an event happening in August at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond. It's a great opportunity for developers interested in Visual Studio, GitHub, and Azure to attend what looks to be an exciting event.
Thank you for tuning in! Make sure to check out the detailed interviews and blog posts linked in the description, and I look forward to sharing more updates with you next time.
