Hands Up If You're Doing Hybrid...
After several months of diligent dappling with documentation, comprehensive confrontations with code, and seriously systematic study of system architectures, we've managed to toss together most of the content for our upcoming guide to Windows Azure hybrigation techniques. "Integrating with the Cloud on the Windows Azure Platform" covers all kinds of aspects of hybrid application design and implementation, and we've even got some code to prove it all works.
So all we need do now is validate the content. We've got some of the finest minds from the individual product teams looking at our guidance and providing valuable technical assistance, but we need people who have used all this stuff in the real world to review it. Architects who have piously pondered over designs, developers who have bravely battled with the technologies, and especially those who have configured, deployed, and managed hybrid applications on Windows Azure.
If you're feeling brave, have time to spare, are short of bedtime reading materials, or just want to find all the spelling errors we missed, grab a copy of the PDF from https://wag.codeplex.com/releases/view/74838 and tell us what you think. Comments, feedback, suggestions for improvement, and chocolate are all welcome. You might even get your name into the acknowledgements...
