This one day deep dive class will get you up to speed on developing for Windows Azure. The class includes a trainer with deep real world experience with Windows Azure, as well as a series of labs so you can practice what you just learned.
This event is FREE to the attendees. Gratis! Gratuite! Libero!
You will need an Azure account. You can Sign Up for a free 90 day account here. You will need to provide a credit card to sign up, but both the Trial and new MSDN benefit Azure Subscription have a default spending cap of $0.00, so unless you remove the cap you will not be charged. You’ll use this subscription while working on the hands on labs.
Also, if you feeling more adventurous and really want to get more hands on, we will be looking at to do more hands on labs in the afternoon.
Yes, Vikas Sahni will start from the concepts, so even those with no previous knowledge of Cloud Computing will be able to follow the morning session
Yes and no. With Windows Azure evolving rapidly, there is plenty that will be new for you in the overview session and you may just learn a few new things in the other sessions. Plus you can help others during the lab sessions!
Registration is at 9:30 and the event will start in full at 10am.
See you there?
How would you like to win a free place at Kevin Kline’s “From Good to Great: Productivity and Influence Skills for the IT Professional” at the SQL Saturday Dublin (#229) pre-conference?
The SQL Saturday Dublin committee has completed the session schedule for SQL Saturday 229 (http://www.sqlsaturday.com/229/). In addition, we have extended the early bird on the pre-conferences until the end of May.
So what more could we do? We decided to hold a competition to win a free place at the SQL Saturday 229 pre-conference – Kevin Kline’s “From Good to Great: Productivity and Influence Skills for the IT Professional”.
Kevin has been an awesome ambassador to Ireland in the SQL community and we wanted to celebrate that fact.
So the question is “How many times has Kevin Kline visited Ireland as a SQL speaker prior to this?”
All you have to do is email ssiug@live.ie with “Competition” in the subject and let us know the answer.
We will complete the draw on the last day of May.
These details can also be found at http://ndflanagan.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/irelands-kevin-kline/
If you wish to attend this or any other pre-conference, the details for these can be found at:
Good luck.

The Surface Pro is a 64-bit tablet PC that combines beauty, power and mobility.
Available with up to 128 GB of storage and powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, Surface Pro is a powerful machine.
Weighing under 2 lbs and only 13.5 mm thin, it’s the perfect way to do more.
I have no idea how much they are going to cost us I’m afraid – they come in just under $999 – so not cheap..
I can’t wait
We are running a two-day deep dive training session next Monday 22nd & Tuesday 23rd in Microsoft’s offices in Dublin.
We have some great speakers with some great content.
Registration is still open – but there really is only a few spaces available.
See you on Monday?
And if you can’t attend in person, I’m getting the whole event recorded and edited down into bite-sized chunks, which I’ll post here on a later date.

Occasionally I’m asked if there are books that I’d recommend to help you learn Hyper-V
Well, Aidan Finn gave me a copy of his one the other day. It is currently being used as a paper weight I’m afraid (sorry Aidan)! But I did have a quick skim and it does appear to be the business (it also comes extremely highly recommended).
So, if you’re interested in what Aidan Finn, Patrick Lownds, Michel Luescher and Damian Flynn have written, here it is:
A two day session (not for the feint hearted) – in Microsoft Ireland, Dublin (22nd & 23rd April).
More details and registration here.
See you next week?
