Azure DevOps in Action & EF CORE

Topic 1: Azure DevOps:

Microsoft recently released Azure DevOps, a set of services that help developers and IT ship software faster, and with higher quality. These services cover planning, source code, builds, deployments, and artifacts. One of the great things about Azure DevOps is that it works great for any app and on any platform regardless of frameworks.

In this session, Callon will provide a hands on workshop guiding you through getting started with Azure Pipelines to build your application.
