Increase your dev skill cloud compatibility level – Attend the free, all day, Windows Azure Firestarter event (even if you can’t make it to Redmond… yep, via all day online simulcast…)

US ISV Developer Community - Get ‘Cloud Ready’ at Azure Firestarter Event Online

“In response to overwhelming feedback, we've organized a special, all-day FREE Windows Azure Firestarter event April 6, 2010, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (PT) at the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington to help developers learn more about how they can take full advantage of cloud services.  This one-of-a-kind event will focus on helping developers get ‘cloud ready' and will include sessions about Microsoft's strategic vision for the cloud, the end-to-end view of the Windows Azure platform from a developer's perspective, as well as how to migrate your data and existing applications (regardless of platform) onto the cloud.

If you've attended a MSDN Windows Azure Event or watched a Windows Azure Webcast, this event is the perfect next step for you.  Not only will you get trained on Windows Azure, you'll have a great opportunity to hear from some of our top Windows Azure experts and ask them questions about how to get started in the cloud with Windows Azure.

Seating is limited, so please register today to attend this exciting live event. If you cannot make it to Redmond, the entire event will be simulcast online; registration is required to attend the online event, so sign up today to ensure you don't miss a minute of this exciting event!” [GD: Post Leached in Full and emphasis added]
