Community Update 2014-04-02 – #bldwin special including my picks for Day 1 with some #winjs, #ef6, #typescript and more

Okay so… if you haven’t heard yet… the BUILD is on. I mean… really. Tons of sessions and more time to waste than you would admit.

So to simplify your life, I’ve built a playlist that is oriented toward the web. If you think I missed something, you should tell me.

Don’t forget to watch for tomorrow where I’ll post my picks for Day 2.

Enjoy!
