Fwd: Azure App Accelerator Campaign

[Shampa Chakraverty]

Dear students, 

Here is an opportunity to get some experience of cloud computing on Azure. However, they have asked for 10+10 nominations. Therefore, the first 20 response I get I will forward. I know some of you have practicals on these days. Therefore specify yr preferred date (or dates if either) as well. 

I feel it is worth a try as lots as hands on exp on Microsoft's proprietary cloud is there. You can next proceed to free clouds. 

I have asked Aditya for technical details regarding what will be taught which also i will forward.

Now you need to do the following.

1) Create yr accounts beforehand (see attached file)

2) Pre-load azure labsetup in yr laptops (attached file)

3) bring/use  creit/debit-netbanking  The course is free. This is just a requirement for account opening.

4) Send me yr names. After first 20, i will req a stop.
