Luis BeltranAdvent calendars are a fantastic initiative promoted by the tech community, in which, during December, experts share their knowledge through contributions of a specific technology in different formats:
- blog posts
- videos
- webinars
- etc.
Due to the great interest and success that advent calendars have had in the past (2020 and 2019), this year we (Microsoft MVPs Héctor Pérez and Luis Beltrán proudly present the first edition of the .NET MAUI Advent Calendar in English.
We know that communities are full of talented developers. Let's promote this idea that has the sole purpose of creating a collaborative space in which we all benefit, from expert, professionals to students, avid seekers of knowledge.
