Did you miss this year’s Microsoft Build 2020 virtual event? Do not worry at all!
Microsoft Canada and our community leaders are getting together to share some of the excitement with you – do join us on June 13th as we plan this Canada wide virtual event – delivered by some of the best we have, from East to the West of Canada!
I’ll be discussing Azure Static Web Apps – go from code to scale in minutes, plus other CI/CD announcements from Build.
What is the Book of News? The Microsoft Build 2020 Book of News is your guide to the key news items that are announced at Build 2020.
As expected there is a lot of focus on Azure and AI, followed by Microsoft 365, Security, Windows, and Edge & Bing. This year the book of news is interactive instead of being a PDF.
One of my favorite announcements was the STATIC WEB APPS HOSTING OPTION NOW AVAILABLE IN APP SERVICE IN PUBLIC PREVIEW. This is a new hosting option for JavaScript developers building static or single page apps (SPA) that can quickly host the app in App Service and leverage Azure Functions as an API and GitHub Actions for your CI/CD. Checkout the Azure blog post for more details.
Registration for this years Microsoft Build event is now open and will be held in Seattle from May 19 to May 21. You can register at https://register.build.microsoft.com
Microsoft Build focuses on latest trends and future looking technology innovations for leading architects, developers, start-ups and student developers.
Pricing and free child admission
The cost for Build is $2,395 USD and is all-inclusive and provides all access for the full three days or hands-on learning where you can meet with the engineers, and connect with the community.
Just like last year you’re able to bring your aspiring developer (ages 14–21) to the conference, which includes access to the extraordinary Student Zone, for free. There is also a limited number of child passes available.
My Build experience
I had the opportunity to attend my first Microsoft Build conference back in 2018 and I loved it and would recommend it to any developer. I know you can watch almost all of the sessions online from the comfort of your desk or couch but what makes attending Build special is the interaction with the engineers working on Microsoft products like Azure, Office, Windows, Visual Studio and so much more. You also get to meet and share ideas with thousands of other developers from all over the world who have similar passions for building awesome software with Microsoft products.
This event sells out so be sure to register quickly. For more details about Microsoft Build visit the website at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/build
