I determined this amount scientifically; it is what it costs for a Netflix family account.

Here we’ll walk through one potential solution using the some super inexpensive radios, a Netduino 2 and the Raspberry Pi.

So with an Azure account and Raspberry in hand it was time to write the next killer app, Hello World with Azure in the middle.
