Thank you for your interest in Microsoft Quantum Development Kit preview. The development kit contains the tools you'll need to build your own quantum computing programs and experiments. Assuming some experience with Microsoft Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code, beginners can write their first quantum program, and experienced researchers can quickly and efficiently develop new quantum algorithms.

To jump right in, start with Installation and validation to create and validate your development environment. Then use Quickstart - your first computer program to learn about the structure of a Q# project and how to write the quantum equivalent of "Hello, world!" - a quantum teleport application.

If you'd like more general information about Microsoft's quantum computing initiative, see Microsoft Quantum.

Monitoring with Prometheus by Alexander Schwartz

Published January 23, 2018 in Technology

This talk takes a developer's perspective and shows how to get started with Prometheus as a monitoring platform and how it differs from other monitoring concepts.

Prometheus has been designed for operational monitoring in cloud- and non-cloud environments with a simple yet reliable setup. Use it to monitor your infrastructure and containers and to look inside your applications. All configuration is stored in configuration files. All gathered information is stored in a time series database to generate alerts and display Grafana dashboards.
