Mike Benkovich (http://www.benkotips.com/ | @mbenko) hold an online event each week to talk about Windows Azure. This week I’ll be joining him to talk about the Windows Azure Boot Camp program and more. Come join us! It will be tomorrow (Friday) at 2:00 PM Eastern. Register to attend!

If you are out in the Northwest region of the United States in the beginning of November you may want to check out the Seattle Interactive Conference. The conference is on November 2nd and 3rd. Note that on November 2nd they plan on having a Cloud Experience Track. The track is all about using the cloud as a back end for mobile platforms and other applications. Windows Azure will be covered, but also it looks like they’ll have sessions for how to get some cloud love for your Android and iOS devices as well as Windows Phone 7.

Today at the BUILD conference they announced a lot new things, but for Windows Azure developers you’ll want to check out the announcements on the Windows Azure Team Blog. A couple of big things to take note of in my opinion are: Better simulation of the cloud environment in the emulators. It has been re-architected and updated. Release of the SDK 1.5 for Windows Azure AppFabric which includes a slew of updated features for the Service Bus that have been in the labs for a while.
