I know I missed the original announcement of the Windows Azure Toolkit for Social Games on the 20th, but I wanted to post a little about it and a few other resources. Want to write a game? The Windows Azure Toolkit for Social Games includes some accelerators, code libraries and deployment tools to help you write some social based games. There is even some guidance on how to make some money on the games you write.

I attended a Cloud Camp in Cincinnati last night, which is the second time the event has been held here. Actually, the event was held at the really nice METS Center in Northern KY. It’s rare that I have less than a 40 minute drive to just about any community type event, so it was a nice change to have something really “in my area” for a change. There were representatives from IBM and VMWare present to discuss some of their options.

Last week I blogged that had my last day at a great company. This week I started a new path in my career and I can already tell I’m in for some really challenging and interesting work. I’m now working for Cumulux, a cloud computing services and product company. For those of you who know that I’ve spent a good deal of time becoming very familiar with Windows Azure over the last two years this likely isn’t a surprise.
