Community report: Australian Microsoft Bizspark Azure camps

Last week, I flew around Australia helping out with the Bizspark dev camps. I answered questions that the attendees had on development on Windows Azure as well as Windows 8 and Windows Phone.
I also got up front and did a mini presentation on development tips.

At the event we discussed ways that Windows Azure can help you quickly bootstrap your startup by providing a cheap way to deploy your web app to test the idea, and then scale it up once it starts to get popular. We also touched on how to build Windows 8 and Windows Phone apps that can be supported with Windows Azure Mobile services.

Below are some photos from the event

And the Melbourne event.

I really enjoy participating with the developer camps & app fests. It is a great way to get a bunch of passionate people into a room and swap stories. It is always interesting to see what personal projects people have been working on and need help with.
