Feel at home with Azure? Well then, how about a free online hands-on workshop, with two weeks of free Azure hosting, for ya? - “@Home with Windows Azure”
StructureTooBig Blog - Register To Attend A Windows Azure Virtual Hands-On Workshop
“I’m really excited to announce a project my colleagues Jim, John and I have been working on. We wanted to come up with a project that would: 1) be fun for users to learn Azure, 2) help illustrate scale, 3) do something useful, and 4) be fun to develop (from our end).
I think we got it! Here is a rundown:
Elevate your skills with Windows Azure in this hands-on workshop! In this event we’ll guide you through the process of building and deploying a large scale Azure application. Forget about “hello world”! In less than two hours we’ll build and deploy a real cloud app that leverages the Azure data center and helps make a difference in the world. Yes, in addition to building an application that will leave you with a rock-solid understanding of the Azure platform, the solution you deploy will contribute back to Stanford’s Folding@home distributed computing project. There’s no cost to you to participate in this session; each attendee will receive a temporary, self-expiring, full-access account to work with Azure for a period of 2-weeks.
Visit the project home page at http://distributed.cloudapp.net.
For this briefing you will:
Receive a temporary, self-expiring full-access account to work with Azure for a period of 2-weeks at no cost - accounts will be emailed to all registered attendees 24-48 hours in advance of each event.
Build and deploy a real cloud app that leverages the Azure data center

This isn’t a static lecture, but a hands-on, get your fingers into the code and have stuff really running on Azure (with two weeks of free Azure hosting included).
