You must bring a laptop. DeVry has tables with outlets so don't forget that power supply. We recommend more than 1 Gb of RAM and at least 10 Gb of free disk space. External USB or Firewire drives really help. We will help you get organized and install the right software for continued virtual fun! We have Internet access but you need to bring an Ethernet cable. If not, make sure that all required software is on your machine when you arrive.

Windows Azure helps developers build, host and scale web applications through Microsoft datacenters. Focus on what you do best - development! Get 750 hours of an Extra Small compute instance, a 1GB Web Edition database and more free per month to get started with the Windows Azure platform. You can use your free trial to create and deploy an application using Windows Azure and SQL Azure.

Bill and Rob will guide you through a Windows Azure hands-on lab using Visual Studio 2010 and the Azure SDK. You will need a free trial account and the SDK.
