Microsoft Windows Azure Cloud Day in Fulham, London – Friday 22nd June

Elastacloud, in conjunction with Microsoft, will be holding a one day conference on Windows Azure in Fulham, West London. There will be prolific speakers discussing all aspects of the cloud across a range of new and interesting topics.

The day will see speeches by prolific Microsoft authors and evangelists as well as members of the UK partner community. The conference is open to a wide variety of individuals from different backgrounds who may be new to Windows Azure. We are looking to reach out to the PHP and Java communities to show them that an open source (WAMP) stack is wholly compatible with Windows Azure. There will be talks on PHP, Java and node.js by well-respected developers describing the how-to as well as projects which have successfully implemented on Windows Azure.

In addition, there will be talks on mobile and Windows 8 integration with the cloud demonstrating how the cloud has become a fundamental part of Microsoft’s newest operating system and mobile offering.

Talks will be held on other aspects of Windows Azure such as High Performance Computing, Big Data, Cloud Storage. Newer concepts such as Infrastructure as a Service, advanced messaging and the creation of secure hybrid applications will be discussed in depth as well. There will be a keynote speech given by a prolific member of Microsoft in the morning and in the afternoon the conference will break into 3 tracks.

All conference registrations will be free up until the 20^th May and £25 thereafter so get registering now!

The day event is being run via the UK Windows Azure User Group which has built a strong community presence evangelising the use of Windows Azure to developers throughout the UK. The user group can be found at here and on Twitter @ukwaug.

Richard is the founder of the dynamic Windows Azure User Group. He is the first point of contact for user group members wanting to participate in community codeplex projects.
