Windows Azure and SQL DB materials–curriculum and development

I just saw that some new Curriculum materials for Windows Azure and SQL Databases in the Faculty Connection – those are great resources for helping with teaching students, especially since no knowledge of Cloud Computing is required.

• Windows Azure and SQL Database
• Windows Azure and SQL Database (Instructor Supplement)

It’s also good to see all the materials that are available for Windows Azure – to help get up to speed, weather it be for using, developing on, or managing.  A few I thought might be of interest…

There are also some really good overview materials on the fundamentals of Windows Azure from David Chappell.
