Windows Azure Architect - A Microsoft Training Program

Be one of the first to really master Microsoft Windows Azure!

"There are a lot of good resources and training labs available for learning the Windows Azure platform. But we felt a lack of material that tied all the different parts of the platform together with an architectural holistic view and put in the context of end-to-end real world scenarios. The Windows Azure Architect program not only teaches the nuts and bolts of the platform but also gives an deep understanding how to make these parts work together in a Service Oriented Architecture aligned to business needs."

When reading the material, it's obvious that the program authors’ SOA expertise extends very well into cloud computing and Azure. The fluent story format makes the material easy to comprehend, and I'm impressed that many of the questions that pop up in my head are covered shortly thereafter by the content. The story, as a dialog between a consultant and a customer, relates perfectly to my work as a consultant.

I have started to look at the content inside the program and the ”story-telling” approach is very successful in combination with the other papers that the program refers to! For me at least this gives me an easier time to understand theory and practice. Great work! But I didn’t expect anything less when I understood that you guys were responsible for the program.

I started to look at the program just one month ago and before that I had no experience of Windows Azure. It seems like a good way to learn about cloud computing in general and Windows Azure in particular. So far, I’m very satisfied with the program. It is quite easy to get to know what cloud computing and Windows Azure is about. I look forward to the details in the remaining modules of the program.
