Learn About Cloud Computing Online and Off
Our audience team is spinning up our next round of Windows Azure Boot Camps. If you aren't familiar with the Windows Azure Boot Camp format, it has traditionally been a two-day hands-on lab-oriented experience. You bring your laptop, join a Microsoft evangelists or two for a couple of days. We cover everything you need to know about Windows Azure, SQL Azure, and everything in between. But this go-around we're also running a series of webcasts, running weekly from November 29 (yup, I'm late getting another blog post out) through February 14. We're only taking the US holidays off.
Interested in the hands-on experience as well? Not to worry! We're visiting 20 or more cities around the Central US as well. (For those on the East and West Coasts, our colleagues are planning their own Windows Azure events, firestarters, and what not as well; keep an eye on MSDNEvents.com for their upcoming schedules.)
