Global Azure Bootcamp in Chicago on April 22nd
This will be the fifth year for the Global Azure Bootcamp. If you haven’t heard about Global Azure Bootcamp, it’s a one day event that spans the entire world. Last year almost 200 locations around the world met to learn about Azure, all in their own time zone and all with their own speakers. Many of the organizers and speakers are Microsoft MVPs and Regional Directors (RDs).
At its heart this is a community event and Microsoft is providing great new content built by them and the community in the form of the Technical Community Content repo on GitHub. It’s a great resource with all sorts of slide decks, code and labs.
Register on the website for updates. The Chicago website where information will be found is here.
