Every year the multinational company Microsoft holds an event to spread its innovations and digital solutions for developers, it is the Microsoft Build. This year, and for the first time, regional events were held in at least five countries. In the case of Latin America, the city of Buenos Aires, in Argentina, was the chosen venue, although there was also the opportunity to follow the live broadcast of various activities. .
The activity aimed mainly at developers, tools based on artificial intelligence and process automation, were shown between May 24 and 25.

Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, was in charge of announcing the additions they will have. Through a simultaneous transmission one of the first revelations was the incorporation of Microsoft DevBox that works as a virtual machine that is concentrated in the cloud where developers can develop applications and deploy them anywhere. Here organizations will set up the development environment for their workers to reduce the time for this function.
Another of the novelties that stood out the most was the GitHub Copilot, this tool had been presented last year but as a preview, however, due to its acceptance it will now be available to the general public. It consists of an artificial intelligence programmer suggesting lines of code, similar to word prediction. Nadella indicated that it will be free for students as well as verified open source contributors.
Nadella announced the addition of Microsoft Store Ads where you can create advertising campaigns for the applications, despite not being native to Windows and reaching potential customers in the Microsoft store, the pilot program will run soon.
With respect to teams I know the interactivity that the communication platform will have with a new Live Share experience, here you can create applications where you can edit, view and interact with the shared content.
Yamila Zakhem, director of Innovation and Digital Transformation for Microsoft Argentina, specified that there is currently talk of digital acceleration since companies began digital transformation a long time ago and that data is at the center of this advance, given this the company presented these tools to empower developers and those who are called developer citizens.
“The objective is that there is a need today to transform this digital acceleration into reality, many of the applications that have to be built require an effort in code but others not so much at that level of code,” he added.
For developer citizens, this company announced two products within Power Apps, it is about Power Pages Y Express Design. In the case of the first, it is a tool that allows the creation of web pages quickly without having to worry about the backend, the frontend and the data strategy, seeking to empower the different actors within the organizations.
The second addition, about low code-no code, is the Express Design that allows the development of functional applications whose design is elaborated on paper, document even by hand and transforms it into an interface.
Finally, the big bet for developers will come at the end of the year with the volterra projectthis Windows development kit has artificial intelligence capabilities including neural processing for better computing power and efficiency.
For Luis Beltrán, who is currently studying a postgraduate degree in Artificial Intelligence in the Czech Republic and was one of the streamers present at the event, one of the novelties that caught his attention in Microsoft’s announcements was the general availability of GitHub Copilot as well as the Express Design tool, in addition to the fact that the interest in this type of subject also involves the region.
“Now with cloud computing, with the free certification opportunities, there are many tools, there are many options in the technological communities that we have out there or in the broadcasts that we now do, there is interest in being able to learn in being able to be part of this, Personally, I have lived in the student part when I was in Ibarra and also with events that have been organized in Quito, they have allowed me to know that there is a great deal of interest from companies and students,” he said.
