This is a post in our series of what is going to happen at Codegarden 2010, the umbraco conference.

The Topic

If you're a .Net developer and haven't been living in a cave (without wifi), you've no doubt heard about Windows Azure.  You may have even wondered if Windows Azure and Umbraco could be combined.  The answer is that Windows Azure and Umbraco are a great match.  In this session Dirk Primbs will be discussing how Umbraco runs on Windows Azure, why using Windows Azure with Umbraco makes sense, and showing a live demo of Umbraco on Windows Azure. 

If you want to know more about Windows Azure with Umbraco straight from the official source, don't miss this session.  Feel free to bring your questions, ideas, and mis-conceptions - all are welcome.

The Speaker

Dirk Primbs works as a Developer Partner Evangelist for Microsoft Germany and is part of the partner team that works with Umbraco.  He is a fan of open-source solutions on the Microsoft stack and has a deep technical knowledge of web applications for the Microsoft platform. 

In addition to his expertise with Windows Azure, Dirk is well versed in the Web Platform Installer and other emerging technologies - some too new to disclose.  Dirk will be at Codegarden Thursday and Friday, so if you have specific technical questions he'll be around to help.

    The session got cancelled in the last minute as Dirk from microsoft fell ill to stomach flu, so Azure was never covered at Cg10 :(
