In my previous post, I promised to talk about some good conferences I’m attending or speaking over the coming months. One of those conferences that I’m most excited about is Google Cloud Next’17: Google’s main cloud conference happening March 8–10 in San Francisco.
Last year, I attended that conference as a Noogler. There were a lot of developers and great technical content. This year’s schedule has just been published and it looks even more exciting, especially if you’re a .

How to build and launch an ASP.NET Core app from Google Cloud Shell — without ever leaving the browser
Google Cloud Shell, my favorite development tool for Google Cloud Platform, just got more awesome with two new features.
First, we recently integrated Eclipse Orion, an online code editor, with Cloud Shell. If you’re not a Vim or Emacs fan, Orion is a welcome addition to Cloud Shell. It enables you to edit code right inside the browser with basic syntax highlighting and minimal effort.
Second, we added .NET Core command line interface tools to Cloud Shell.

Managing containerized ASP.NET Core apps with Kubernetes
One of our goals here on the Google Cloud Platform team is to support the broadest possible array of platforms and operating systems. That’s why we’re so excited about the ASP.NET Core, the next generation of the open source ASP.NET web framework built on .NET Core. With it, .NET developers can run their apps cross-platform on Windows, Mac and Linux.
One thing that ASP.NET Core does is allow .NET applications to run in Docker containers.

Getting started with Google Cloud Client Libraries for .NET
Last week, we introduced new tools and client libraries for .NET developers to integrate with Google Cloud Platform, including Google Cloud Client Libraries for .NET, a set of new client libraries that provide an idiomatic way for .NET developers to interact with GCP services. In this post, we’ll explain what it takes to install the new client libraries for .NET in your project.
Scheduling Dataflow pipelines using App Engine Cron Service or Cloud Functions
Google Cloud Dataflow provides a unified programming model for batch and stream data processing along with a managed service to execute parallel data processing pipelines on Google Cloud Platform.
Once a Dataflow pipeline is created, it can be tested locally using DirectPipelineRunner, and if everything looks good, it can be manually executed as a job in Dataflow Service by triggering DataflowPipelineRunner or BlockingDataflowPipelineRunner with Apache Maven or Dataflow Eclipse Plugin. You can monitor the progress of your submitted job with Dataflow Monitoring Interface from Cloud Platform Console or Dataflow Command-line Interface from gcloud.
