The Festive Tech Calendar is a community initiative created by Gregor Suttie (Azure Greg), Richard Hooper (Pixel Robots), Keith Atherton, Simon Lee, and Lisa Hoving.
Each day of December, different content, ranging from video contributions and blog posts to live streams and hands-on labs, will be shared by community members from all over the world.
It’s all about sharing knowledge and helping people learn new things and improve their skillset throughout the festive month of December 2022. This is truly by the communities, for the communities.
You can find all other videos, blog posts, and other contributions at https://festivetechcalendar.com/ and the Festive Tech YouTube Channel.
You can also keep an eye on Twitter for the hashtags #festivetechcalendar2022 and #CloudFamily or follow @_CloudFamily to stay up-to-date.
This year, the Festive Tech Calendar Team is also raising money for the charity @missingpeople, because it’s important to support charities that do great work. So if you want to donate to this very worthy charity, you can do so directly via this JustGiving page.
Video contribution
In our video, Karel and I want to give you some advice and help on how the newly rebranded Microsoft Learn can help you pass your next Microsoft exam.
We will jump into the Microsoft Learn platform and show you a lot of tips and tricks that can help you to:
- Learn by doing
- Find technical documentation
- Showcase your skills
- Ask questions and get help
- Find some helpful community material
We hope you enjoy it and that you can use some of the tips in your own learning journey.
The video we made is available on the Festive Tech YouTube Channel, or you can watch it directly from here.
