You'll get the opportunity to expand your knowledge in growth areas, such as IoT, AI, ML, DevOps, serverless, microservices, and containers. Take advantage of the languages and frameworks you already know, such as .NET, Java, and Node.js to expand your skills into these areas. Here are just a few examples of the sessions you’ll find this year at Ignite:

  • .NET Overview and Roadmap – Learn about the present and future of Microsoft .NET Platform. We’ll look at the current state of .NET, its incredible growth, and new core features. We’ll also show how .NET will help you build cutting-edge solutions for the future.
  • Azure Services Fabric Overview and the Road Ahead – Service Fabric powers Azure core infrastructure and large-scale services. Dive into the latest capabilities, including Service Fabric Mesh, containers, low-latency data processing, .NET Core 2.0, and Visual Studio 2017 integration. Learn how we’re making containerized microservice applications much easier to build.
  • Fundamentals of Internet of Things (IoT) with Microsoft – See Microsoft’s IoT portfolio and where it’s headed. Discover how both Microsoft Azure and Azure Stack can deliver a hybrid environment for IoT success. Learn about IoT, product roadmap, and a variety of industry-based solutions to get you up and running with IoT quickly.
  • Build Full-Stack Enterprise Node.js Apps with Visual Studio Code and Microsoft Azure – Node.js is a scalable JavaScript server runtime with a huge ecosystem of open source packages and a variety of front-end frameworks. Learn how Visual Studio Code, Microsoft’s open source, cross-platform editor, supercharges your productivity, including debugging front-end and server-side code, deploying, and even debugging remotely.

Microsoft Ignite also offers several immersive, Pre-Day sessions that will cover topics such as AI and building serverless applications in greater depth. Convinced? Register today to secure your choice of hotel and Pre-Day sessions—they’re filling up fast. I hope we'll see you in Orlando!
