Developer Digital Meetup Tour... and more!!

#meetup #api #microservices #opensource

Hey Canadian devs! This fall devs across Canada will come together to discuss various topics from APIs to microservices, meetup style!, to continue to share, connect, and learn in this new virtual world. It's put on by my team at Microsoft Canada and is called the Developer Digital Meetup Tour

Meetups will take place every Tuesday (except the week of Canadian Thanksgiving) between 1PM-230PM PDT | 4PM-530PM PDT. Join early as the sessions may be shorter than 1.5 hours as listed.

There will be 5 digital meetups on the tour:

Let me know if you any of you have any questions and what you think in the comments!

In addition, there is the Microsoft Learnathon going on until December. The Learnathon is a self paced gamified learning environment powered by Microsoft Learn, created with 7 different challenges. Join in over the next three months, choose a challenge and upskill on the various topics in that challenge and experience hands-on learning with interactive labs: aka.ms/learnathon - Canadian developers can have a chance to win a Surface Book 3 by participating and completing 1 of the 7 challenges.. plus the first 300 to complete a challenge get access to a discounted certification voucher. Head over to aka.ms/learnathon to sign-up note you have to be Canadian (reside in Canada) to qualify to win the SB3 and obtain a voucher

The free Microsoft Learn platform is more than JUST Microsoft technologies. So for example:

Learning Path Take your first steps with Python
Learning Path Build JavaScript applications with Node.js
Module Create an open-source program by using GitHub best practices

Both are free and made for the community to encourage your on going learning journeys! Let me know if you any of you have any questions and what you think in the comments :)
