Recap of the Cloud Dev Norway: .NET Edition

As digital demand for goods, services and information grows, our customers are looking to cost-effectively modernize their web applications. June 17th, we ran “Cloud Dev Day: .NET Modernization” event to help you with this task. This is a recap of this event including a list of the useful resources for you and your company to have a successful .NET on Azure journey.

We invited representatives from Microsoft partner companies Capgemini and Cognizant to tell us about their signature .NET projects hosted on Azure – the only end-to-end web hosting platform that offers fully managed services purpose-built to run .NET apps. From their sessions, you will learn about their approach, best practices, tips & tricks on modernizing .NET applications.
