OOF Announcement

The unthinkable has happened: after weeks of community members all over the globe chipping in to help solve people's problems with serverless technology, the evil grinch's heart is starting to soften! He's still not quite ready to give up his server-stealing plot, but our whole Azure Cloud Advocacy team is flying up to the grinch's lair to help convince him to change his ways.

As such, the team behind 25 Days of Serverless is OOF (Out Of Facility/Office) between Dec 24, 2019 and January 1, 2020. We'll not review Issues in this period of time, but encourage you to catch up on any challenges you haven't had the time to work on yet. 😃 Our Discord Server is a perfect place to reach out to for community support during this time. After our return, we'll add contributors who submitted a working solution as an Issue to CONTRIBUTORS.md file until January 15, 2020.

Main Goal

There is no better way to learn a new technology than with gamification. And we're here to help you learn Serverless once and for all with 25 daily challenges: 25 days of Serverless! Come join!

Rules

  1. Solve each coding challenge in the first 25 days of December.

  2. Tweet your progress during the challenge period using the hashtag #25DaysOfServerless.

  3. Submit the code of your solution as a PR to this repository before the sample solution gets published (usually 24h after the challenge is published).

  4. You may get picked for a mention during our weekly wrap-up video. If you submit a PR you agree that we mention your name and/or nicknames (GitHub, Twitter) publicly in the context of 25 Days of Serverless.
