Eric Nelson and a team of 15 developers (including myself) have pulled together a free eBook covering some of the possibilities and techniques when developing with the Windows Azure Platform. The eBook is available as a free PDF download and can be viewed on SlideShare as well. If you are interested in how the collaborative journey came along check out Eric’s post.

The two articles that I authored are: Implemented a Distributed Cache Using Worker Roles and Building a Content Based Routing Service.

We will be writing a second volume later this year and potential ideas for new articles are welcome!

NAIDCharities (a charity that a friend of mine runs) is giving you the opportunity to support a great cause that helps find placement for abandoned animals by holding a 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 raffle.
