Check SQL Azure Database Associated Cost
Ok so I found out exactly the size of every table in my SQL Azure Database, but now I’d like to know a little bit more, since I’m paying and I want to know how the payment is related to each of my tables.

So another session that I did at Microsoft TechDays 2010 Portugal was around Microsoft Entity Framework 4.0 Evolution and features we can expect in the future.

During TechDays 2010 in Portugal I did a session about “Event-Driven Architectures: Why, When and How?”.

To finalize we looked at How we can implement EDA, as well the components that this approach uses, and their product mapping.
