MSDN Boot Camps coming up

Microsoft is planning a road show of two development focuses boot camps: Windows Azure Boot Camps and Windows 7 Development Boot Camps. 

The Windows Azure Boot Camps are two day events focusing on getting you hands on experience deploying applications to the cloud.  I’ve been a trainer at several of these events and the people I’ve talked to about them afterwards have all said they got a lot of good information from them.  The boot camps cover the Azure Platform and how to leverage the cloud.

For Azure Boot Camps in my area we have:

Cincinnati – Jan 25-26
Columbus – Feb 8-9

Check out the full schedule for a city near you.

The FTW (For the Win) Windows 7 Development Boot Camps you can expect a day of interactive sessions covering things like jump lists, IE 9 Development, multi-touch interfaces, location and sensor integration.  If you write code that will run on a Windows client you will get benefit from this boot camp. 

For the FTW events in my area:

Indianapolis – Jan 19
Columbus – Jan 25
Cincinnati – Jan 27

Both of these Boot Camps are hands on, interactive sessions.  You’ll want to bring your laptop and have the tools loaded (see the event details for what to get loaded up).  If you have questions about these I’d recommend talking to your local Microsoft Developer Evangelist (in my neck of the woods that’s Jennifer Marsman, Jeff Blankenburg and Brian H. Prince).
