20 Microsoft Build sessions not to miss this year

I’ve been through the Microsoft Build Session scheduler and have pulled out 20 different sessions I think you would be interested in watching.

As a reminder, Microsoft Build is Microsoft’s developer conference. It’s across 3 days – May 24-26 – and this year is happening online, with registration being free. This year, content is available in 6 different languages.

My top 20 sessions are split into 5 different sections. There’s an overview section for anyone new or who wants to catch up on what’s changed since last year. There’s a “deep dive” section with sessions that go into detail on previous announcements, a roundtable section, a section for new announcements, and a final “other things” section for everything else.

Here are my top 20 Microsoft Build picks:
