Next Wednesday we've got Chaks introducing us to Microsoft .NET Services, which are a set of building blocks provided by Microsoft in the upcoming Azure platform that will help you build your cloud computing applications.

The meeting will be held at Xero, starting at 6pm (details below). Please RSVP to kirkj@paradise.net.nz so we can make sure there's enough pizza for all!

Title: Microsoft .NET Services
When: Wed 19 Nov 2008, 6pm
Where: Xero, Level 1, 98 Customhouse Quay, Wellington (above Xero)
Presented by: Chakkaradeep Chandran

Microsoft .Net Services is a part of the recently announced Microsoft Azure Platform.

What does Microsoft .Net Services provide?

Microsoft .Net Services consists of three main components:

1. Service Bus
2. Access Control
3. Workflow Services

They provide a hosting platform where you can develop connected, peer to peer applications that can speak to each other without considering the other complexities such as firewall rules and NAT etc,.

Chaks will cover these three components of .NET Services, and how you can use them in your applications.

Pizza and beer provided. Please RSVP to kirkj@paradise.net.nz

User group meetings are open to anyone to attend. Hopefully we'll see you there!
