Missed Build 2017? Try the Build World Tour
Demo-heavy sessions from Build will be circling the globe at select international cities. Also, this week's .NET Insight Podcast features excerpts from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's Build keynote, in which he gives some weight to the sheer amount of data that represents developer opportunity for decades to come.

Build 2017 is now a memory, so if you missed it .. .there's actually a Build World Tour. The tour will hit most of the cities listed here for two days, except Munich, Germany, which will be one day only, all in June:
- June 5-6: Shanghai, China
- June 8-9: Beijing, China
- June 12: Munich, Germany
- June 13-14: Seoul, South Korea
- June 14-15: Helskinki, Finland
- June 19-20: Warsaw, Poland
- June 21-22: Hyderabad, India
- June 29-30: Sydney, Australia
The first day will be mainly demo sessions "focusing primarily on new technology that you can start using immediately in your projects, with a bit of forward-looking awesomeness for inspiration," according to the blog post linked above. Day 2 will be mainly hackathons where participants will be building projects around the technology introduced the first day. It's not quite Build in miniature, but it's likely less draining mentally as well as physically. (Munich will have sessions only; no hackathon time included in that day.)
And of course, those Build events are likely not going to feature a repeat of Nadella hitting the stage in dramatic fashion. You can catch his whole keynote on the Channel 9 site here, or if you don't want to slog through the whole 2.5-hour talk, check out some excerpts in this week's .NET Insight Podcast (links below).
