Nice ones, thanks

I started working with Service Fabric before it was generally available. I built (but not yet released) a consumer, cloud-based, mobile-first app on top of service fabric.
I was first drawn to SF by the coolness and speed of retaining application data in memory (stateful reliable services). Once I became comfortable with it as a whole I decided to build a new consumer SaaS app on top of it. It has great scalability and its zero downtime abilities made it a great fit for me.
This has been a one-man project. I'm trying to finish the product and build a company.
Learning curve: There's quite a bit to know and keep in your head. And it crosses several disciplines that are not strictly coding related: networking, security, capacity planning, disaster recovery, etc. Learning SF was drawn out over a long period of time for me because it started out as a side project.
Gotchas: Early on there were some edge cases that weren't handled well (or at all), but that's much better now. SF is still relatively new so sometimes google isn't much help if you have a problem in an unusual use case/situation. It is MUCH better than it used to be though. And SF team members monitor Stack Overflow and github so there is assistance available. The biggest gotcha I have experienced though is the number of external dependencies that exist in my project. This is NOT specific to SF, but SF has contributed to it.
Overall experience: Good. I recommend it.
SF is a big topic. Feel free to contact me privately for more specific discussion or guidance.
Have fun!
Mike

Cool, sounds good!
What struck me is that SF is not included in MS exams 70-532, 533 and 535 (formerly 534).
I'm probably going to start using it in the next few weeks or so, if I have any questions I'll be sure to contact you, thanks

sorry for the late reply
I love SF and highly recommend it. I used it for ~ 1 year and half. I will talk about the first version, a new one will soon complement it (without discontinuing the 1st)
You can build highly scalable (planet scale) and reliable apps with just C# , visual studio (integrates perfectly) and an azure subscription. Containers are optional but you can do without.
you need approximately 1 week to get started (the doc is excellent) 2 weeks start tinkering and 1 month to start being productive
SF enforces some interesting paradigms to write better microservices apps . I love their reliable actors paradigm.
The new version will target a "Serverless" approach so it will be quite different and containers here are required. I have not yet studied it but I'm sure the team will make a great work as usual.
There is a great team with nice people, always ready to support the community, they do a monthly meeting, you could join to have a look (but community makes deep tech questions)
Go for it
Antonio

I see that UK bookies are offering a miserly 4-1 (5.0 if you prefer decimal odds) on England to win the World Cup.
Just curious as to how much this is effected by the "patriotic pound" - what price can you get on an England victory in less biased parts of the world?

4 to1 is 80% chance, ain't it ? That's quite optimistic. I would have said 0.1%, e.g. someone eventually breaks a body part of their choice of Neymar - so that all that faking comes true - in case they would stand a infinitesimal chance to beat Brazil on their way.

Surely, you can't be suggesting that Neymar would ever indulge in a spot of acting?
4-1 is a 20% chance, by the way - still a massive overstatement of our chances.

The odds are a reflection of the amount of money being bet on England to win and not based on the real possibility of this happening. As a large part of England is currently going football mad the amount of money being bet on an England win must be rising incrementally.
The bookies have to be careful they make a profit out of this.

Well, yes, the effect is always visible on markets for national teams and never more so than with football.
My suspicion is that there's a very healthy living to be made from simply laying against wins for your national teams and sporting icons, but I'm also pondering the notion of cross-border matched betting - e.g. I lay England in England at a really low price and someone in another country (let's say Spain) backs them at a more realistic one creating a pretty huge arbitrage. We'd then reverse the process if say, Rafa Nadal is playing.
I'm just curious as to how large the effect is, my suspicion is that it's massive - I'd have thought that England would be more realistically priced at somewhere around 15.0, so would love to know what's happening on the exchanges around the world.
