We are a little slow getting invitations out and details published, but there are two Windows Azure events coming up in San Diego in the next couple of weeks:

  • On Sat December 4th, we will be hosting our second all-day Azure event
  • Prior to that, this Tuesday, I will be doing a “pre-conference” event at the main user group meeting, description below

The Tuesday meeting will be at the Intuit campus, details at http://sandiegodotnet.com. Registration for the conference will be available there shortly.

 

=============================

Windows Azure Pre-con

Cloud technologies are transformational, and one of those rare paradigm shifts that we don’t see often. The Windows Azure platform represents a tremendous investment by Microsoft, one that developers can benefit from today. Some of the results of those investments are live today, and you can use them to enable solutions that previously would have been impossible or prohibitively expensive to create.

The San Diego .NET user group is committed to our mission of bringing you the knowledge you need on current and emerging technologies, and as such will be hosting our second Azure conference on Saturday December 4th (invitations/details in the next couple of days). The conference will cover a variety of topics, and will dive relatively deeply into architecture and development (covering architecture, data, migration, green-field and more).

To ensure our members get maximum benefit our of the conference content, Brian Loesgen, an architect evangelist with the Microsoft ISV team, will be doing a pre-conference meeting to help our members ramp up on, and get current with, the Azure platform.

This session will provide:

  • Windows Azure, technical overview, covering all the components in the Azure platform
  • Windows Azure tooling: the developer experience (demo, demo, demo)
  • PDC 2010 Azure update: what’s new? What changed? What’s coming?
