Hey Canadian devs! This fall devs across Canada will come together to discuss various topics from APIs to microservices, meetup style!, to continue to share, connect, and learn in this new virtual world. It's put on by my team at Microsoft Canada and is called the [Developer Digital Meetup Tour](aka.ms/ddmt) 
 
Meetups will take place every Tuesday (except the week of Canadian Thanksgiving) between ***1PM-230PM PDT | 4PM-530PM PDT***. Join early as the sessions may be shorter than 1.5 hours as listed.

There will be 5 digital meetups on the tour:

In addition, there is the [Microsoft Learnathon](aka.ms/learnathon) going on until December. The Learnathon is a self paced gamified learning environment powered by Microsoft Learn, created with 7 different challenges. Join in over the next three months, choose a challenge and upskill on the various topics in that challenge and experience hands-on learning with interactive labs: [aka.ms/learnathon](aka.ms/learnathon) - Canadian developers can have a chance to win a Surface Book 3 by participating and completing 1 of the 7 challenges.. plus the first 300 to complete a challenge get access to a discounted certification voucher.  Head over to [aka.ms/learnathon](aka.ms/learnathon) to sign-up *note you have to be Canadian (reside in Canada) to qualify to win the SB3 and obtain a voucher*

The free Microsoft Learn platform is more than JUST Microsoft technologies. So for example:

- Learning Path [Build JavaScript applications with Node.js](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/paths/build-javascript-applications-nodejs/)

- Module [Create an open-source program by using GitHub best practices](https://docs.microsoft.com/learn/modules/create-open-source-program-github/)
