Learn TV daily online program launching to help developers find information and advance skills
Microsoft Learn will launch “Learn TV,” daily live programming and discussions for developers and a one-stop-shop to learn and grow with live content from Microsoft Cloud Advocates and Product Group leaders. “Learn TV” will be a single aggregation point of technical video content and will bring together structured content created across Microsoft properties such as Channel 9 and first-party events and hackathons, with casual developer conversations and instructor-led sessions from advocates and engineers.
The new content program will debut as part of Build, and the conversations will continue on Learn TV following the event. With COVID-19 and the cancellation of in-person events and face-to-face engagements, most developers are now at home and looking for online learning and training resources. Microsoft wants to continue to bring developers the relevant information they need, whether they are learning and advancing their skills or re-skilling.
