Microsoft is a company built by developers for developers first, and its ambition is to be the platform for platform creators, according to CEO Satya Nadella.
“From GitHub to Visual Studio, we provide the most comprehensive tool chain and services for every developer, every app and every platform, so you can rapidly go from idea to code and code to cloud,” Nadella said during his keynote address that opened Microsoft Build 2021, the technology company’s annual developers conference. “It’s all about that developer velocity. We want to give you the tools to innovate as fast as you want to go.”
Nadella provided a brief preview of some of the 100 new services and features across Microsoft’s tech stack being unveiled this week to help developers, including updates to the Microsoft Azure cloud, Power Platform, Windows — while also teasing “one of the most significant updates of Windows of the past decade” coming soon — and Teams.
“We want to empower you to seize these opportunities and build what comes next,” Nadella said. “Our ambition is to be the platform for platform creators. This conference is not about setting new rules or constraints that dictate how or what you should build. It’s not even about celebrating our own innovation. It’s about enabling your innovation and creating new opportunities for you. We want to help you help the world — that’s at the core of our mission.”
