About #MSCreate

In July, we ran Create:Frontend a half-day of conversations between community and industry experts with a focus on front-end development - ending with an hands-on learning workshop. We were blown away at the level of interest and engagement we had from attendees. These conversations matter.

So we decided to do it again - this time, with a focus on Serverless!

The format is simple. A free, live-streamed virtual event, featuring community and industry speakers, engaged in conversations, on a wide-range of topics related to a core technology.
