I've spent the evening at Grodan, a fashionable bar/restaurant close to Stureplan to Stockholm, for some eating, meating and listening. The Microsoft MEET team together with Magnus Mårtensson, you know the guy I did a TechTalk with at TechEd (on twenty minutes I had about two sentences and some uhhms to say, Magnus did his thing as he should), where he together with a collegue presented Windows Azure, and possibilities, briefly in a nice manor for about thirty of us geeks... *smiles

They did a great job presenting the Windows Azure platform, and ease to migrate a web application to the cloud. Talking about Application Roles and Worker Roles, storage types, availability and more in an easy and understandable way. If you get the opportunity to have a chat with Magnus, please do, he is a great source on the Windows Azure platform. That much of SQL Azure wasn't mentioned, I guess I have a mission there. I'll continue the SQL Azure series as soon as possible. Magnus has, together with collegues at dotway, built a worker role wrapper that empaphase the idle-issue of worker roles. In a clean and cool way their wrapper executes encapsulated jobs/code in available Worker Roles. When he described the method for me I was amazed how easy it really is and got a bit confused why it wasn't done before. Guess that's why some are in the front, and some follow. One great benefit of their wrapper is that traceability and debugging is managed by the wrapper it self.

I'd like to thank Microsoft, the MEET team and Magnus, with collegue, for an excellent evening. Take care friends!
