Learn Live: Video Series 🆕

In Sept 2023, we ran a 4-part Learn Live: Serverless series for the #BuildIntelligentApps initiative. The Learn Live approach focuses on instructor-led livestreams that feature hands-on exploration of relevant training resources. In our case, we used the 4 episodes to create nearly 6 hours of video content that walks you through key aspects of the Contoso Real Estate application from definition to development, testing and deployment.
