Microsoft Azure Without Microsoft

Microsoft Azure is a highly-scalable cloud computing platform. But what if my business is built on Linux and Oracle? What if I build iPhone or Android apps for a living? What if I’m a PHP developer or Java developer? Can Azure help me and my products and services?

In this presentation, I will show you Microsoft Azure services that can improve your application or infrastructure, even if you are working exclusively in Open Source or non-Microsoft technologies.

While there will be light refreshments available, feel free to "brown bag" it and bring in food from the outside to eat during the social hour.
