Here’s your big chance… Eric Nelson needs YOUR help in writing an Azure eBook

Goto 100 - Development with Visual Basic - Call for authors for new eBook on the Windows Azure Platform

“I intend to pull together a FREE eBook on the Windows Azure Platform – but I need your help to make it rock!

If you have detailed experience of any aspect of the Windows Azure Platform and can spare a few hours of time to turn that into a short article (400 to 800 words) then please get in touch. This is not a big commitment but my suspicion is the end result will make for a cracking good read.

I am hoping for a mix – everything from lessons learnt from early adopters to introductions to elements of the platform to getting technologies such as Ruby up and running on Azure. 10 to 20 articles sound about right – which means I am after 10 to 20 authors :)

All I need from you right now is:

• One or two suggestions of topics you would like to cover
• A pointer to any example of your previous work – which could be as simple as a blog post or a work document.

…

The provisional dates are:

Confirm authors and topics by 3rd May
Get first draft from all authors by 10th May
Complete reviews by 17th May
Final versions by 24th May
Published by 31st May
