Ed���s Microsoft Build May 2021 Session Picks
Cross posted at dev.to.
Ever since the end of in-person events I have not bothered to do my traditional ���Ed���s session picks��� posts, as I have so often in the past. (These posts are a ride through memory lane: 2008, 2011, 2011, 2014, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2017, 2017, 2017, 2019, 2019, 2019 ). Now that Microsoft is focusing so heavily on making Java run great on Azure, it���s time to survey what Build 2021 has to offer Java developers.
The traditional audience for Microsoft Build is less technical andmore business focused than the audience for the conferences I usuallyattend. But at this point in my career, I���m ok with that. I am awarethat success with Java on Azure means influencing that audience. SoI���m very excited to highlight these exciting Java related sessions atMicrosoft Build.

The Surface Duo also has two screens, but it���s a Microsoft device and it runs Android. That means, you can code for it using Java or Kotlin. This one sounds really fun. I look forward to seeing what Guy Merin has to say.
On Demand SessionsAccelerating enterprise Java workloads on AzureThis is where we get to show off all the things we are doing with Java EE related technologies on Azure. It���s presented by my colleague Reza Rahman.
Run Linux web apps easily and securely on Azure App ServiceAzure App Service and Azure Kubernetes Service are the two workhorseservices of Azure compute. This talk is about the former, whichprovides a much easier to understand model of the cloud to users thanwhat is offered by AKS. App Service offers a wide variety ofpre-configured solution stacks on Java, .NET Core, Python, and Node,including Tomcat and Java EE JBoss EAP. I���m not sure how much Javawill be covered, but App Service definitely supports Java vere well.
