Microsoft's good partner, InCycle, has a number of events coming up. Some are online and some, like the "CloudFest" are in person events. CloudFest is a hands-on learning approach to cloud computing. Throughout the day you will learn about Microsoft Azure - how to build a modern application using awesome tools, and to help validate your code, build it, and deploy it to Azure.
InCycle focuses on application lifecycle management (ALM) and has solutions and expertise to help customers adopt agile development processes that make sense in today's "we need it now" world of expectations. I encourage you to see if there is an event in your area, like the one in Reston VA on March 3rd, and make the time to attend. The online seminars are also a great way to stay up to date.
