On July 29 we are running [Create: Frontend](https://aka.ms/createfrontend), a virtual half-day event focused on learning and exploration for front-end developers. 

The event is free and live-streamed, and features speakers and topics ranging from static websites and accessibility, to remoe work, inclusive design and visual storytelling. Here are 5 things you can do to get the most from the event.


## 1. Watch Sessions, Engage With Speakers!

You can find all the sessions here, on our anchor post. 
{% link https://dev.to/azure/let-s-talk-about-everything-frontend-2o9e %}

We recommend you bookmark that page and revisit it later to get updates when on videos, resources and more.

Most talks are just 15 minutes long, but each has a dev.to page where we encourage you to post comments or ask questions. 
Speakers will spend 15 minutes after their session on Q&A and take questions via these comments. Once the live Q&A is over, we will post an update on that page. Subsquent questions may be answered at the discretion (and availability) of speakers.

## 2. Attend the Hands-on Workshop!

Nothing helps you learn and use new ideas like a hands-on workshop. We've got a 90-minute session for you to dig in deep into building and deploying web apps with your favorite JavaScript framework. Learn more here and don't miss it!
