It's a #CodeParty - who could ask for more!

The month of December is about many things: the end of the year, the holidays, ugly reindeer sweaters, and yes, Microsoft Connect();.

Because so many Docusign developers are using C# and .NET, we try to participate in as many Microsoft events as possible. (And build helpful tools and content, such as our new C# SDK which includes .NET Core 2.0 support, and a new Quick Start API code example for C# , complete with a four minute  [target="_blank" rel="noopener">installation and demonstration](<embed data-align=) video.)

For those of you who are not familiar,  Microsoft Connect(); is an online event taking place on Tuesday, December 4, and features lots of great technical content. Microsoft also happens to be launching Visual Studio 2019 Preview at the event. So, how are we participating you ask? Why by getting involved in #CodeParty! Streaming live from Las Vegas and open to all, you can tune in either at twitch.tv/codeparty or twitch.tv/visualstudio on Tuesday, December 4th from 5:30 – 6:30pm PT.  You will get an overview from Microsoft and some of the cool partners on the event itself (see below). You’ll also have an opportunity to test your knowledge with some cool trivia, and maybe even win great prizes like a Surface Go, Xbox, Amazon gift cards, and more.

The #CodeParty events are produced by a group of geeks who love the developer community, just like we do. We are proud to share the sponsorship role with some great companies including these fine folks:
