Translated from 日本語 • View original Nice to meet you. This is Hara, who is in charge of Azure.
I participated in Microsoft's conference "build 2016" held in San Francisco from March 29th ~ April 1st (local time).
【Microsoft Build Developer Conference | March 30 – April 1, 2016】 https://build.microsoft.com/ I think the breaking news articles are already available, so there is one thing I felt throughout the whole thing. Here is a video that I felt symbolized this year's Build. 【Microsoft Cognitive Services: Seeing AI app (audio description version)】
It was played at the end of the first day of the keynote speech, so I think many of you have seen it.
This video shows how Cognitive Services are being used to support the lives of blind engineers announced at this build. This is what CEO Satya said several times during the lecture, "Is technology empowering people". By showing a concrete theory of what technology can do, I feel that developers were strongly pushed to say, "We can do this with the materials we already have." Being able to spend this moment at the venue, where the atmosphere of the venue, which was about to loosen as the long workshop was coming to an end, may have been the best harvest this time.
This year's build was not as flashy as last year's, but it clearly showed that it will steadily promote technologies that were once only visions, such as SDKs, APIs, and devices like HoloLens. I also felt that "asking for feedback" is not just words, but an attitude of interacting with developers through moving code.
I think this was something I felt strongly because I visited the site.
It was a three-day event where I was stimulated not only by technology but also from unexpected angles.
