Presentations I’m doing in Dublin and London Dec 2nd->5th
I’ll be in Ireland and the UK next week presenting at several events. Below are details on the talks I’ll be doing if you want to come along and hear them:
Dublin: Monday Dec 2nd
I’m doing two separate free events in Dublin on Monday:
- Windows Azure and the Cloud at Mon 1-3pm. This event is free to attend, and I’ll be doing a two hour keynote/overview session on Windows Azure as part of it. This will be a great talk to attend if you are new to Windows Azure and are interested in learning more about what you can do with it. Later sessions at the event also cover VS 2013, building iOS/Android apps with C# using Xamarin, and F# with Data and the Cloud. Lean more here and sign-up for free.
- Building Real World Application using Windows Azure at Mon 6:00-9:00pm. This event is also free to attend, and during it I’ll walkthrough building a real world application using Windows Azure and discuss patterns and best practice techniques for building real world apps along the way. The content is intermediate/advanced level (my goal is to melt your brain by the end) but doesn’t assume prior knowledge of Windows Azure. Learn more here and sign-up for free.
There is no content overlap between the two talks – so feel free to attend both if you want to!
