This Saturday 1/29 I'll be presenting 2 Azure sessions at So Cal Code Camp at Cal State Fullerton in Orange County, CA.

Windows Azure in Action: Demo and Guided Tour
2:45pm, room UH 246
See the entire Windows Azure platform demonstrated! In this session, Windows Azure MVP and author David Pallmann will demonstrate each functional area of the platform live, including: Windows Azure Compute, Windows Azure Storage, Windows Azure CDN, Windows Azure DataMarket, SQL Azure Database, SQL Azure Reporting, SQL Azure Sync Service, AppFabric Cache, AppFabric Service Bus, and AppFabric Access Control Service. This is the way to get a real appreciation for what this large and ever-growing platform can do by seeing it in action.

Windows Azure in the Real World: Best Practices and Migration Tips
4:00 pm, room UH 246
Cloud computing with Windows Azure is exciting but it is vital to approach it correctly. In this session, Windows Azure MVP and author David Pallmann will share best practices and lessons learned from real-world use of Windows Azure. There will be a detailed discussion of application migration with examples. If you want to succeed in your adoption of Windows Azure, this is a chance to learn what works--and what doesn't--from the experiences of others.

Azure is well-represented at this code camp: there are plenty of Azure sessions being offered as well by others. I hope to see many of you there!
