Global Windows Azure BootCamp– Phoenix 4/27

The rumors are true. The Global Windows Azure Bootcamp is coming to Phoenix on April 27th, 2013. Registration is now open: https://phxglobalazurebootcamp.eventday.com/ clip_image001[9]

This is a truly global event in which the Phoenix community will come together to share and learn what you can do on Windows Azure.

This one day deep dive class will get you up to speed on developing for and deploying to Windows Azure. The class will be led by myself and fellow MVPs including the one and only Joe Guadagno, Dan Wahlin and you’re friendly neighborhood Microsoft Regional Director Scott Cate. You’re guaranteed to learn a ton and in addition to the talks, you’ll work on some great hands on labs so you can apply what you learn on the same day and take the labs with you! Best of all, if you get stuck, we’ll be there to make you do push ups, I mean get unblocked Winking smile

AGENDA

We will start at 9:00 with welcome and introductions and get right into an end-to-end overview of Windows Azure. From there, we’ll participate in a massive, coordinated, global deployment to Windows Azure, teaming with over 60 other worldwide locations to see the workload in action (details are super secret, so you have to show up to get your security clearance- this a a boot camp after all)!

After we’ve done our best to take down a datacenter, we’ll take a break and take a lap around storage and database options on Windows Azure while we enjoy a catered lunch kindly sponsored by Microsoft. We’ll also have fresh primo coffee, sodas, waters and snacks to help you power through the labs which will give you real-world exposure to what its like to actually apply what you’ve learned and take the working applications home with you.

From there we’ll take another break and wrap up the day with a look at how Windows Azure Service Bus changes how you think about messaging and integration when working at cloud scale. We’ll have a Service Bus lab and from there likely plan some nefarious after event activities at one of downtown Chandler’s fine watering holes.

Here are the details:
