Join us for a half-day of conversations this &lt;strong&gt;7 December 2020&lt;/strong&gt;, at Microsoft &lt;a href="https://aka.ms/createdata" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Create: Data&lt;/a&gt; and connect with the experts and community members. Let's talk about everything data - from the upcoming trends to best practices and data for good. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;




&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Wait! 🤚🏼
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before you get all excited, let's get you ready with just&lt;br&gt;
3 👏🏽 EASY 👏🏽 ACTIONS 👏🏽&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1. Code of Conduct
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You are expected to adhere to the &lt;a href="https://aka.ms/createdata" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Create:Data's code of conduct&lt;/a&gt; as well as &lt;a href="https://dev.to/code-of-conduct"&gt;Dev.to's code of conduct&lt;/a&gt; Please do ♥️ &lt;a href="https://dev.to/jansche/comment/12n6f"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; if you agree &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  2. Keeping you (and your kids) happy
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not only do we want to feed your mind, but we also want to feed your tummies too. We know it could be morning, afternoon, or evening during #mscreate for you, and we know how important food is, to bond, to keep us happy. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Food recipes - Yes, food. We'll be sharing food recipes specially curated by some of our speakers.🤤
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;👉🏼 &lt;a href="https://aka.ms/mscreate-foodrecipes" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Recipes&lt;/a&gt;🥞 🍛 🥫&lt;/p&gt;

  About #MSCreate
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In July, we ran &lt;a href="https://createfrontenddevelopers.splashthat.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Create:Frontend&lt;/a&gt; a half-day of conversations between community and industry experts with a focus on front-end development - ending with an hands-on learning workshop. We were blown away at the level of interest and engagement we had from attendees. These conversations matter. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So we decided to do it again - this time, with a focus on Serverless! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The format is simple. A free, live-streamed virtual event, featuring community and industry speakers, engaged in conversations, on a wide-range of topics related to a core technology. &lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class="ltag__tag ltag__tag__id__60537"&gt;
    &lt;div class="ltag__tag__content"&gt;
      &lt;h2&gt;#&lt;a href="https://dev.to/t/mscreate" class="ltag__tag__link"&gt;mscreate&lt;/a&gt; Follow
&lt;/h2&gt;
      &lt;div class="ltag__tag__summary"&gt;
        
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

  Hands-on Workshop!
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Refactor Node.js and Express APIs to Serverless APIs with Azure Functions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Learn the strategy you need to move an existing Express API app to Serverless. This is a beginner friendly workshop (Level 100-200) covering how you can get started with Azure functions using VS code and javascript, covering triggers, bindings, and deployment.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Observability in serverless applications
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Observability in the serverless realm can sometimes be very frustrating, but yet performance monitoring is crucial when running serverless applications. To make sure that your applications are running correctly, full observability is needed so that troubleshooting can be done efficiently when needed. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With that said, what does observability really mean? Should organizations manage observability themselves or would they be better off using a managed solution for observability? What are the best practices and how do you best troubleshoot? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Meet Our Speakers
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm inviting our speaker &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/simona_cotin?s=20"&gt;@Simona_Cotin&lt;/a&gt; from MSCreate:Frontend to have conversations with you here on Dev.to on what observability in serverless applications mean and the best practices. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We want to hear from you how YOU are doing it, and exchange insights with you on what considerations are needed to obtain full observability in your serverless applications. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accessibility matters.&lt;/strong&gt; Yet, so often, not enough people pay attention to it, or choose to pay attention to its principles. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But, really, why is this topic is so important? What is accessibility? Broadly stated, it’s intentionally designing the world to include everyone, regardless of disability. It’s working so others have access to more of life. How do we then do this well, how do we do this right? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Kids Activity Pack
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Let's face it. With the COVID-19 pandemic across the world, children, guardians, and parents are affected by the nationwide school closures. Many guardians and parents are struggling to work and manage kids at home at the same time. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Keeping children engaged&lt;/em&gt; is now essential as part of an Events Best Practice. At Microsoft, our DevRel team has introduced a &lt;em&gt;Kids Activity Pack&lt;/em&gt; that will entertain children and provide a much-needed escape into the fun and magical worlds of imagination. All these happening while our developer parents and guardians attend our conference.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Kids Activity Pack&lt;/em&gt; debuts on the 29 Jul 2020 at the inaugural &lt;a href="https://aka.ms/createfrontend" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Microsoft Create: Frontend&lt;/a&gt;, a half-day virtual session where developers from the community come together to have conversations on pressing topics for frontend developers, such as building inclusive and accessible web applications, static sites, serverless, and much more. &lt;/p&gt;

  * &lt;strong&gt;Digital activity sheets&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No printer? We've got you covered digitally too. :)&lt;br&gt;
As part of the event themed Static Web Applications, &lt;a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/aaronpowell"&gt;@aaronpowell&lt;/a&gt; has also created a &lt;a href="https://aka.ms/mscreate-kapdigital" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;digital version of this &lt;em&gt;Kids Activity Pack&lt;/em&gt; with static web apps!&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you have other ways to help parents and guardians keep their children engaged so that they too can be included at your meetup, virtual events and have an easier time? I am curious to know what you have in place. Drop a comment below, and let's share. &lt;/p&gt;
