Welcome to the first live Serverless September session at the Reactor. For the first part of this session, we’ll be reviewing any questions or issues participants encounter while working on the What The Hack: Serverless project.
We’ll also be highlighting participants and recognizing their work. For the second part, we’ll be joined by Microsoft App Innovation Global Blackbelt (yeah, I know, one of the coolest role titles ever!) Linda Nichols. She’ll be sharing her story about getting into tech and how she first got into serverless development and of course I’ll ask her any tips and advice she has for tech newbies looking to get started.
