HackOnAzure

TechGig in association with Microsoft Azure brings to you one of the biggest challenges on the cloud for the developer ecosystem working on frameworks such as Java, Javascript, Python and .net as part of the biggest coding event Code Gladiators-2020. The objective of the Hackathon is to provide a competitive platform with an opportunity for these tech geniuses to showcase their cloud expertise alongside their technical prowess. Our team of experts will be judging you not just on your coding skills but also on different parameters like innovation, creativity, originality, usability, design and the effectiveness of the solution.

Register for the Hackathon and form a team before participating in Round 1 to take the first step in the Code Gladiators journey. Round 1 is essentially an idea submission round.

Turn your ideas into solutions with more than 100 services to build, deploy, and manage applications - in the cloud, on-premises, and at the edge. If you can imagine it, you can build it on Azure, using the tools, languages, and frameworks you’re already familiar with and stand a chance to win prizes worth 3.5L.

Microsoft Azure is a flexible, scalable, and full-featured cloud platform. Using Azure you can run serverless code using Azure Functions, host web applications and databases, take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) through Cognitive Services, and create your own machine learning models through Azure Notebooks or powerful Data Science Virtual Machines (DSVM).

• Explore - Explore 100 + services on Azure to build, deploy, and manage applications
• Learn - Head over and have a look at popular learning paths and modules.
  

• Build - Start using Azure right away with the documentation, tutorials, and videos.
• Get Started with Azure - Get 12 months of popular products free—and a $200 credit.
