Here is the #113 edition of 5 Highlights Thursday. I hope this newsletter will help you in your Azure journey and keep you informed. Feel free to forward this along to anyone who you think may enjoy or better ask them to subscribe.
1. Microsoft Build 2026 Day 2 LIVE | GitHub Copilot, VS Code, Foundry & Community Sessions
You could watch Microsoft Build 2026 Day 2 on YouTube if you missed it! Start your morning with GitHub, VS Code, and everything Copilot, then dive into a full day of live programming and breakouts.
2. Scott and Mark learn…how agents reshape software engineering
Join Scott Hanselman & Mark Russinovich on this Breakout session on how AI is changing how software is created—and what it means to be a software engineer. We’ll explore how AI agents are reshaping development: where they accelerate progress, where they fall short, and what’s changing for the profession. Along the way, we’ll share failure modes, lessons learned, and propose ways engineers and organizations can adapt. Real talk, no hype.
3. Scott and Mark learn to Vibe Check with Steve Sanderson
Join Steve Sanderson & Scott Hanselman on how AI can turn an idea into a working demo faster than ever. But can that demo survive two experts who have seen every trick in the book? In this live Build showcase, developers present AI-assisted apps, agents, tools, and workflows to Mark Russinovich and Scott Hanselman. Mark and Scott will ask how it works, where the seams are, what the AI actually built, and whether the result is clever prototype, production-ready software, or something unexpectedly magical. Come for the demos. Stay for the technical reveal.
4. Fluent UI Blazor: The next step
In this session, Denis Voituron and Vincent Baaij will show you what is new in the next major version of the Microsoft Fluent UI Blazor library.
5. One policy engine to govern them all: Securing agentic AI with Microsoft Purview
In this episode, returning expert guest Innocent Wafula joins us to explore how organizations can securely scale Agentic AI across platforms using Microsoft Purview as the centralized policy engine. Through a live architecture walkthrough, you’ll see how agents built on Microsoft Foundry and AWS Bedrock can leverage the same Purview instance for real-time policy evaluation and unified data protection. Learn how a “build anywhere, govern once” approach empowers developers to innovate faster while enabling security teams to maintain centralized control over sensitive data.
