Why you should read my blog posts

My posts are focused on Windows Azure and provide hands-on guidance to not only write applications hosted in a Microsoft data center, but also provide guidance on writing applications that connect to the Microsoft cloud. Mobile and Cloud I am a big believer in interoperability and scale because of the huge growth in mobile computing. I have written many posts that illustrate how to create RESTful Web services that expose massively scalable data to Android, iOS, and Windows Phone devices. I provide videos, source code and detailed guidance for all these diverse platforms using Eclipse, Xcode. I provide code in Java and Objective-C that consumes cloud hosted services and data.
