Once again, our premier developer conference, Microsoft Build, will feature a curated collection of sessions specially created for students and those looking to learn a new tech.  From May 24 through May 26, Intro to Tech Skills sessions will give you the opportunity to learn about new technologies or areas of interest, figure out which ones are right for you, learn what to expect and how to get started.  You’ll get a better understanding of how developer technologies and tools work along with learning resources that can help you further your career in tech.  And speaking of your career in tech, we have tips for you on that too!
