Azure Dev Days

We're excited to announce our recent partnership with Microsoft for Azure Dev Days. It's an entire day of free training on Azure. Our CEO, Chander Dhall, will be delivering the closing keynote this April in Oklahoma City, Kansas City, and St. Louis.

This event is for all developers, executives, managers and even IT pros. The main focus of the sessions is learning all things Azure, of course! The day starts with an Azure Developer Services overview and then we will deep dive into the web and API applications. This is followed by a white board session to accentuate key concepts.

For the white board sessions, you will work in groups and discuss any roadblocks with the proctor. The proctor will help guide you to the solution by asking specific questions and clarifying Azure concepts.

Following this session, we will examine the serverless piece and do a deep dive into Azure functions, logic apps and event grids. This is also followed by a white board session with a real-world problem for the group to solve. Lastly, we will cover microservices (beginner to advanced) in just 45 minutes and close with a DevOps sessions.

The closing keynote will be presented by our CEO, Chander Dhall. In this session, he will discuss techniques used by our teams to move our clients from monolithic to microservices-based architecture. He will feature a case study involving moving clients with traditional business and on-premise IT infrastructure to a cloud-based implementation. He will also show how it saves costs, reduces downtime impact and increases employee satisfaction. In this session, you will understand what to do, and most importantly, what not to do. You don't want to miss it!

Did we mention, Cazton will be sponsoring Azure Dev Day T-shirts and will be giving away Cazton T-shirts too? We hope to see you there!

The event will be held in three different cities: Oklahoma City, Overland Park, Kansas and St. Louis, Missouri.
