Just Another Wordpress Weblog, But More Cloudy
Slides of my talk at the PHPBenelux conference last weekend are online. Bit of a pity my live demo went wrong due to my www.azure.com trial account going into read-only mode while doing the demo. Abstract: "While working together with Microsoft on the Windows Azure SDK for PHP, we found that we needed an popular example application hosted on Microsoft’s Windows Azure. Wordpress was an obvious choice, but not an obvious task. Learn more about Windows Azure, the PHP SDK that we developed, SQL Azure and about the problems we faced porting an existing PHP application to Windows Azure."

MSDN session on ASP.NET MVC
As promised to all people attending my online session on ASP.NET MVC this afternoon, here is the slide deck I’ve used.

However, the setup that is used to do this kind of sessions is really cool to work with! Make sure to check Katrien’s blog for all other Live Meeting MSDN sessions that are planned.

Speaking at DevDays 2009, The Hague (and more)
Some Great news (at least: I think this is great :-)): Kevin Dockx and I will be giving a session on PHP and Silverlight at the Netherlands DevDays09. This event, aimed totally at developers, will take place on May 28 and 29th in The Hague (Den Haag). It’s the first time the DevDays are hosting sessions related to PHP, and it’s also the first time I’ll be speaking at an event of this size. Our session will cover the basics of Silverlight and show you how you can create rich web applications using the best of 2 worlds: Silverlight and PHP.

Readers who are interested (or anyone else interested in ASP.NET MVC) can download up-to-date code examples on the ASP.NET MVC guestbook page.
