Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone

March 24, 2011

Interested in combining Windows Phone 7 apps with Windows Azure? Microsoft (via Wade Wegner) has posted the Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone over on CodePlex. Check it out at http://watoolkitwp7.codeplex.com/.

The toolkit has several templates to add to Visual Studio that will help give you a jump start on combining these two platforms, or at least give you some ideas on where to get started if you want to build yours from scratch. The full contents of the toolkit can be found on the wiki.

Very cool!

Oh, and do you want some free Azure time to go with that? You can use the an Azure Pass to get 30 free days of some Azure resources (without even supplying a credit card). Go to http://bit.ly/MWOODONAZURE and use the promo code MWOODONAZURE.
