 Microsoft launched TechDays, a four-month-long technology event across 50 cities in India on October 16. TechDays offers developers, IT pros and technology students across the country to attend an in-person event close to the city where they reside. It will help professionals and students alike to familiarise themselves with the latest cutting edge Microsoft technologies and equip them with valuable insights and best practices. With coding sessions planned across each of the locations, TechDays will also provide the attendees hands-on opportunities to create and convert their dream ideas into apps on the Windows 8, Windows Phone and Windows Azure platforms.
TechDays kicked-off at National Institute of Engineering, Mysore and covers more than three cities every week.
