News this week: 2 May 2019
Hi again. So it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. I’ve been busy working and speaking at a couple of events. I spoke at SharePoint Saturday Cape Town on 13th April and I also spoke at Global Azure Bootcamp this Saturday the 27th April. GAB is a global event hosted by local user groups and is a one day deep dive into Azure. This year was the 6th GAB and I presented a session on Azure Blueprints as well as co-presented on a panel with my a few of the other presenters and MVPs.
Below are the topics and the links I discussed in the YouTube video.
