Meetup Details:
Session 1
Azure DevOps provides developer services to support teams to plan work, collaborate on code development, and build and deploy infrastructure and applications. Developers can work in the cloud using Azure DevOps Services or on-premises using Azure DevOps Server.
This session is a high level introduction to Azure DevOps aimed at both technical and non-technical people, and some brief demos to help you get started with your first project. It's intended as backgrounder to the follow-on session covering Azure DevOps in practice on a real project.
