On-line Windows Azure and SQL Azure Expo

I’ve just updated my August Tech Calendar post with this free, on-line event sponsored by the SQL Server Worldwide Users Group (SSWUG).  Thanks to Rachel Appel to bringing it to my attention!

On Friday, August 19th, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. ET, a number of Azure and SQL Azure experts will cover various aspects of developing and working with the Windows Azure platform.  If you haven’t yet had a chance to immerse yourself in Microsoft’s cloud computing platform, this is a convenient (and FREE) way to do so.

There two registration options for the virtual expo:

“Best of SSWUG” is free for all and includes the following presentations:

• • A Lap Around Windows Azure with Scott Golightly
  • Getting Started with SQL Azure with Glenn Alan Berry
  • Migrating to SQL Azure with Lynn Langit

The Premium Track offers three additional in-depth session for just under $50:

• • Deploying Your Applications to SQL Azure with Joey D’Antoni
  • Reporting with SQL Azure with Rob Schafer
  • Amazon RDS vs. SQL Azure with Ike Ellis
