Ignite is back for 2024, and I've taken the time to review the session catalog to pull out the gems for developers in ANZ. Check out the post for more details!
If 2023 was the year of 'AI for the developer' at Microsoft Build, it's safe to say that 2024 continues that theme, though with more focus on practical delivery of secure, scalable solutions.
As always, Ignite covers a lot of non-developer content, so there's not a huge amount of content to dig into, but I think I've found the developer gold in amongst the lot.
I'm back with my list of the best developer sessions from Microsoft's annual developer conference - Build. Check out how you can attend remotely and cram a bunch of learning into two half days!
On Wednesday, March 8, I spoke at the Sydney Serverless Meetup on how you can quickly build an Azure Function Extension and in what situations you should consider doing so. Here I run through the demo and the code!
For the first time in a couple of years, there is an in-person event for Ignite, though for our list here I'm only listing sessions you can attend from the comfort of your home. If you're headed to the in-person event... lucky you!
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!
Like any cloud platform, Microsoft Azure is always shipping new features and services regularly. In this post I've pulled out a few highlights from the last few months that I think are worth looking at if you're a developer building serverless solutions.
Here we are again - it's almost time for the annual Microsoft Ignite conference. This edition is virtual again, so it's a great chance to hear the latest news while being able to sit at home on your sofa!
It seems like only yesterday we were talking about session for Microsoft Ignite back in March... and here we are looking forward to what's coming up at Microsoft Build which is online...
Well... it's that time again! Microsoft Ignite is back for its early 2021 edition, kicking off March 2nd. I sat down and had a quick scrub through the sessions to find...
The biggest challenge for an event this scale is finding the content you really want to catch up on as a developer. Well, I reviewed the 800+ sessions for you and you'll find my best bets below.
The first ever Serverless Days ANZ event run on Friday September 4 and, boy, what a success it was! In this post I'll go into the online event in a bit more detail and look at some of the stats along with my highlights.
I've put together the following list which encompasses the smaller, sometimes interactive sessions that will be on offer. You will be able to catch big keynote moments elsewhere and on-demand so they aren't covered here.
A challenge the Azure Sydney User Group has been facing is providing access to presentations, etc, from our meetups so they are easily accessible to members and guests alike.
As demand for the Azure Sydney User Group and its content has grown over the last few years, and with the removal of features on Meetup such as file storage, the group organisers have been looking for a way to share content and provide an online location for the community to connect.
As I've spent much of the last eight years running, or being involved with, community events I thought I'd share some tips and insights I've gained over this time on what you need to consider for going online.
Thanks to UK-based Microsoft MVPs Gregor Suttie and Richard Hooper there is a great initiative through December 2019 that is doing 25 days of community-generated content...
