Azure Boot Camp - Salt Lake City

We will be hosting a 1 day version of the Azure Boot Camp (www.azurebootcamp.com) in Salt Lake City on June 11th. This will be a free event, and it will be a combination of presentations and hands-on experience with the Windows Azure platform. Here is the information you will need (I hope!) to make this a fun and worthwhile experience for you! Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to help you prepare for the event! You can contact me here, or send an email to mike.erickson@neudesic.com.

I will post our agenda in the next couple of days.

For the hands-on work that all attendees will be doing we are requesting that you come with your laptop setup ready to go. There are a couple of different lists of required software depending on where you look and this has led to some questions about how a machine should be configured to enable the hands-on work that will be done. The following is the configuration that I plan on using for the presentation - I will, in the next few days, verify that it will work for the presentations and the hands-on work that we will be doing. If there are any issues I will post them here and I will be sure to send a tweet about them as well (@mgerickson).
