Enterprise pick No. 2:Â MJFChat on Petri.com
I’m going to toot my own horn here and talk about a series of chats I’m doing over on Petri.com. These are for IT pros who want to learn something new and to ask questions of the invited guests. I’ve interviewed folks on everything from HoloLens, to Cosmos DB, to keeping up with Windows patching. Check out the prerecorded ones in Petri.com/forums in the MJFChat area.
Beer pick of the week: Highland Park Brewery No Rest
