Everyone should bring their own machine.
WIFI will be accessible.
We will download the tools together, install them, and then use them.
The Azure Camp is a higher level learning/awareness. There will be a workshop most likely in April where the aim is to actually build apps.The Application workshop is actually a perfect follow up to the Azure Camp as it takes the principles learned in the Azure Camp and works with the attendees to make those learnings real as the attendees go and build applications. Doing the Azure Camp before the workshop will give those attending the workshop a solid base to start from.

How can you connect and send messages to tiers of your application? How can you scale out your application to realize the benefits of cloud computing? In this session, you’ll discover the answers to these questions while learning about additional services and features used for building secure, connected, and scalable applications.
Application Scenarios
The Windows Azure services can be used independently or composed together to build a variety of applications. In this session you’ll see how you can utilize Windows Azure for several common scenarios including web, technical computing, devices, social games and social apps.
