[Suggested twitter tag #selfpacedazure] We (myself and David Gristwood) have been working in
the UK to create a fantastic opportunity to get yourself up to speed on
the Windows Azure Platform over a 6 week period starting May 10th – without ever needing to leave
the comfort of your home/office.
The course is derived from
the internal training Microsoft gives on Azure which is both fun and challenging in equal parts – and we felt was just too good to keep to ourselves! We will be releasing more details nearer
the date but hopefully
the following is enough to convince you to register and … recommend it to a colleague or three :-) What we have produced is
the “Microsoft Azure Self-paced Learning Course”. This is a free, interactive, self-paced, technical training course covering
the Windows Azure platform – Windows Azure, SQL Azure and
the Azure AppFabric.
The course takes place over a six week period finishing on June 18th. During
the course you will work from your own home or workplace, and get involved via interactive Live Meetings session, watch on-line videos, work through hands-on labs and research and complete weekly coursework assignments.
The mentors and other attendees on
the course will help you in your research and learning, and there are weekly Live Meetings where you can raise questions and interact with them. This is a technical course, aimed at programmers, system designers, and architects who want a solid understanding of
the Microsoft Windows Azure platform, hence a prerequisite for this course is at least six months programming in
the .NET framework and Visual Studio. Check out
the full details of
the event or go straight to registration.
The course outline is: Week 1 - Windows Azure Platform Week 2 - Windows Azure Storage Week 3 - Windows Azure Deep Dive and Codename "Dallas" Week 4 - SQL Azure Week 5 - Windows Azure Platform AppFabric Access Control Week 6 - Windows Azure Platform AppFabric Service Bus If you have any questions about
the course and its suitability, please email
