Microsoft Mauritius – Windows Azure Bootcamp 2014

Welcome to Global Windows Azure Bootcamp! On Saturday, March 29, 2014 we are out to make some records!

With over 130 confirmed locations around the globe, the Global Windows Azure Bootcamp is going to be a truly memorable event – and now here’s your chance to take part!

In April of 2013 we held the first Global Windows Azure Bootcamp at more than 90 locations around the globe! This year we want to again offer up a one day deep dive class to help thousands of people get up to speed on discovering Cloud Computing Applications for Windows Azure. In addition to this great learning opportunity the hands on labs will feature pooling a huge global compute farm to perform diabetes research!

In Mauritius, the event will be organised by Microsoft Indian Ocean Islands & French Pacific in partnership with The Mauritius Software Craftsmanship Community (MSCC) and sponsored by Ceridian, Emtel & Microsoft
