Start coding in minutes with the Quick-start Development Toolkit
The timeline from an idea for an app to coding is longer than most software development companies would like. Understanding the problem is only the first step in deciding what tools can be used to develop and how to code. And, with a dizzying array of development tools and approaches, time can be lost in consideration before anything is ever built. To help solve this problem, use the Quick-start Development Toolkit — collected actionable resources centered around best practice development patterns — that help software companies get targeted code packages to streamline their app development for AI, Copilot, and agents, AWS to Azure multi-cloud replication, or apps integrating Security. How does it work? As companies brainstorm apps to develop, they often know about the business benefits and purpose, the scenarios where the app would be valuable. What they might not have (without several dev cycles) is the general architecture of that app design and a quick way for their developers to iterate with code, seeing if it’s the right approach. As a result, their time to market may be slower and — when developing apps — this can be costly. With the Quick-start Development Toolkit, we’ve brought together the combined knowledge of experts at Microsoft to provide the foundations of getting developers working with applicable code within minutes: Reference solution architecture: to show how components are used and interact, Click-to-deploy reference code: cloud-ready templates get you coding in minutes, How-to articles: for context to help understand products, patterns, and tips to deploy. These streamlined resources help you and your team get ideas off the drawing board and into a tangible prototype within minutes, saving your team valuable dev cycles. Having access to these should cut time and effort from your dev cycles, helping you stay at the forefront of app development. We look forward to seeing your apps in market!
