Eric Nelson just released and published the free 96 page book “Windows Azure Platform: Articles from the Trenches Volume One”. I consider it an honour to have been chosen as one of the 15 authors to write an article for this first volume.

The contents of the book in a nutshell (quote):

Developers have been exploring the possibilities opened up by the Windows Azure Platform for Cloud Computing. This book pulls together great articles from many of those developers who have been active with the Windows Azure Platform to hopefully help others become successful. There are twenty articles in this first volume covering everything from getting started to implementing best practices for elastic applications.

It’s really a nice read for all those interested in the Windows Azure platform in general. For both novice levels as well as intermediate. The book is available in many forms at http://bit.ly/azuretrenchesbookvol1, or read more about it at Eric Nelson’s blog.
