Microsoft Build 2022 - Session guide for ANZ Developers

So we are back with another annual developer-focused Build for 2022. While it feels like the last Build was just last week, it wasn't, and there has been a lot of change in the past year!

This year for my sessions selection I am leaning more towards the "tales from the trenches" content because I think a lot of us get the most value out of hearing how others have made decisions in real-world scenarios.

I'm sure there are going to be lots of announcements (in fact, a few are hidden in the session catalog already if you look closely!), but you'll have to follow the news from Build to hear what they are.

Make sure to use the 'backpack' feature of the site that will allow you to keep sessions to watch for later, so even if you can't make the live broadcast from the sessions, you have one place to return to later for it.

All dates and times listed are in Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) which is UTC+10.

Feel free to leave a comment if I've missed any sessions you think would be valuable for developers to catch!

Our local Australian connection is happening on Wednesday afternoon again and it's a great customer success story.
