Thanks to the folks who came out to the Dayton .NET meeting last night. It’s been a while since I’ve spoken in Dayton. It was a great time. It’s great to see Bob Sledge and Joe Wirtley still running the group. The talk I gave was about five features of Azure Mobile Services to help mobile developers who wanted to concentrate on their ideas, and not on the back end. We covered storing data for access from multiple devices, scheduled jobs, social authentication and push notifications.

If you follow me on twitter (@mikewo) you may have noticed several tweets last week for #Techorama, which was a conference in Mechelen, Belgium. The about page for Techorama promised “deep-dive developer sessions, integration scenarios and best practices. All this goodness will be delivered by world-renowned speakers and local community rock stars”. I’d say that the conference delivered on that promise. Much like the local Stir Trek event, the venue was a movie theatre.

Thanks to Chad Green (lead organizer of the Louisville .NET Meetup group as well as the Chief cat herder for Code PaLOUsa) for having me down to speak at the user group last night. Thanks, also, to all the folks who came to meeting. As usual when I visit the Louisville community it was incredibly hospitable and a fun group to hang out with. I promised that I would post up the links from the end of my slides and here they are:
