2015 Global Azure Bootcamp – Cambridge (NERD)

  • Artikel

Join your fellow cloud-ies at the Cambridge edition of the 2015 Global Azure Bootcamp. Now in its third year, the Bootcamp brings together technologists at over 150 locations across the world for a day’s worth of hands-on sessions focused on leveraging the capabilities of Microsoft Azure.

The Boston area will play host to two events – this one at at the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge and another at Blue Metal Architects in Watertown.

Plan to bring your laptop and provision at least a free trial Azure account BEFORE you come to the event (see below for details). It is important to come prepared: getting set up is not terribly difficult, but it takes a while for things to run. Additionally, we’ll make use of this account early in the day and frequently, so setting up ahead of time will allow you to get the most out of the event.
