Azure Services Kit available
October 30th, 2008
The work we did through the last couple of months is materialized now. James Conard and the DPE team (Nigel Watling, Ryan Dunn, Vittorio Bertocci, Drew Robbins, et al) were able to hit the road before anyone else at Microsoft by releasing the Azure Services Training Kit.
I was walking through the Hands On Labs lounge today, watching at people doing lines to do the labs.
The kit includes labs on:
- SQL Data Services
- Windows Azure
- .NET Services Service Bus
- .NET Services Access Control
- .NET Services Workflow
You will need an invitation code, but you will be able to read the document and code to get lots of information.
Hands on Labs for Web Client and Smart Client
September 6th, 2007
The p&p client team is working hard on getting hands on labs for both Smart Client Software Factory/CAB and Web Client Software Factory out of the door. I've been following the work they've been doing and I must say that the labs are the most insightful labs I ever seen.
Mariano was heavily involved in the creation of the labs and he really knows the technology, so the quality of the labs is pretty good. Now he's asking for feedback on the Smart Client labs since a final release of them is coming that will show how to use the Disconnected Service Agent and the WPF support. He also announced that the labs for Web Client Software Factory are available to download.
