Challenge 1 of our Azure
Developer Challenge is over and we have 3 new owners of a Microsoft Surface:
Well done - and I wish we could have had half a dozen runners up.
Challenge 1 (Grab an Azure account and post your idea) was extended a little
due to a late start, and Challenge 2 (build a website) ends this week. There are
5 challenges, with 3 Microsoft Surface tablets being won every 2 weeks. If you missed
a challenge you can still enter so grab your Azure trial account, read up on the
challenges and get creative. $16,000 in prizes overall! More details

cheers,
Chris Maunder
