Welcome to the Microsoft Entra Identity Developer Blog! We are glad to have a space to collaborate directly with you – our developers on this platform. We will share Microsoft Identity related topics pertaining to application development and management. Learn about how identity plays a role in your end-to-end development scenarios, the efforts we are making in identity standards, events you can learn from, ways you can join the developer community and contribute to the platform. We will also share case studies from developers on how they are making their most on the Microsoft Identity Platform.
