Last week we launched “Hack Together: Microsoft Graph and .NET” – a virtual hackathon all about building apps with Microsoft Graph and .NET. Here’s what happened last week and what’s still to come. 

What happened in week 1 of Hack Together? 

Last week, we opened the virtual hackathon with a keynote by Yina Arenas (Partner Group Program Manager Microsoft Graph) and Scott Hanselman (Partner Program Manager). Yina and Scott walked us through what Microsoft Graph is and what different types of data that you can get from it.

Scott also showed us his .NET hack: an application to help him remember when to replace his glucose sensor and insulin pump – all using Microsoft Graph!

We continued the hackathon, by diving deeper into Microsoft Graph. Our guests Rabeb Othmani (Senior Product Manager Microsoft Graph) and Maisa Rissi (Product Manager Microsoft Graph) showed us what tools are available for you to explore data on Microsoft Graph and how to use code snippets from Microsoft Graph Explorer to start building your first app using .NET!

We’ve also seen some great questions from hackathon participants during the live sessions as well as on our GitHub repo. What’s exciting to see is that not only is everyone already working on some cool projects, but that participants have also been helping each other to get their code up and running! That’s a true community! 

What’s coming in week 2 of Hack Together? 

In this second week of Hack Together, we’ll host a live “Ask the Experts” session. We’ll be joined by members of the Microsoft Graph product team and .NET and Microsoft 365 advocates. This will be the session for you to ask questions about building apps using .NET and Microsoft Graph.
