CloudDev Clarity

Part of the offerings from Sympraxis Consulting is Extensibility for the Microsoft 365 platform. Although many of you might think of us as the migration and intranet experts, we spend a lot of time making sure we understand where the line shifts from out-of-the-box configuration and better practices to extending the platform to provide our customers bespoke solutions that fit their unique business processes and productivity goals.

As another community offering our own Julie Turner has joined forces with developer training expert and owner of Voitanos, Andrew Connell in a new show called CloudDev Clarity where they spend about 30 minutes going deep on a development related topic for Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, and related technologies. If you would like to join in the conversation, be sure to check out the playlist hosted on Voitanos’ YouTube channel and subscribe to get notified of latest releases.

You can also get more involved by joining the Voitanos’ Discord community where we’ve set up a section just for the show. Get news and updates and join the chat to talk about past episodes, make suggestions on future ones, or chat about the episode as we record it. That’s right, we’re streaming the audio from our episodes live so you can listen in to the pre-edited show. There will be events listed in the Discord community to tell you when we’re recording our next episode so you can be notified.
