This one day deep dive class will get you up to speed on developing for Windows Azure. The class includes a trainer with deep real world experience with Windows Azure, as well as a series of labs so you can practice what you just learned.
Awesome. How much does it cost? How do I attend?
This event is FREE to the attendees! All you have to do is register!
EVEN MORE AWESOME! WHAT’S THE CATCH?
There’s no catch. Even the pro’s recommend this event.
What do I need to bring?
You will need to bring your own laptop and have it preloaded with the software listed below or here. Please do the installation upfront as there will be no time to troubleshoot installations during the day.
- You’ll need a Windows Azure Subscription. If you don’t have one, you can sign up for a 90 Day Trial or if you have a MSDN Subscription you can use your Azure Benefits. You will need to provide a credit card to sign up, but both the Trial and new MSDN benefit Azure Subscription have a default spending cap of $0.00, so unless you remove the cap you will not be charged. You’ll use this subscription while working on the hands on labs.
- A computer or laptop with:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (full version or Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web) – do note if you use Express Edition you will not be able to complete all of the labs.
- Install the Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio
- Install the Windows Azure Training Kit
Is this for beginners?
Yes and no. The local trainers will use the Windows Azure Training Kit to guide you to the basics. We’ll also be running a massive scalability experiment that may bring one of the Windows Azure datacenters down!
