Microsoft Baltic Developers Community
The community’s goal to bring together new and experienced developers alike and have them be mentored by experts from Emergn and Microsoft’s MVP network to guide and shape new ideas of working with Azure.
The Microsoft Baltics Azure Developer Community concluded with an incredible set of demonstrations, ranging from people who are brand new to developing, through to experienced teams built from the same company.
Incredible speakers supported the community throughout the last few months, even returning to judge the demonstrations and offer further future assistance to the participants.
We look forward to joining you again in the next few months as we dive deeper into Azure. See the presentations and the Hothouse winner below.
