Playing with Free Trial Microsoft Azure

Finally I give Microsoft Azure a try. Trying to learn more about cloud computing.

Hopefully I will not bill additional charge after done with $200 credit.

Google I/O 2010

Since Google I/O 2010 soldout early, I could not attend this great developer event. I watched the I/O keynotes live on the GoogleDevelopers YouTube channel from my office. With two computers, I multitasks: listened to speaker while worked on my desktop.

What I learn from Google I/O 2010:

• HTML5, VP8, webM
• Google TV
• Chrome Web Store
• Google Web Toolkit integrate with Spring Roo
• Using Google Wave to collaborate
• Google Apps Engine for Busines
• Google Google Storage for Developers

and of course, my favorite, Android development.

There are a lot of technical sessions I need to view this weekend. I'm so excited about Google development. I tell myself I will not miss the next Google I/O.
