My latest project has launched!
Tags: Azure June 21st, 2010I’m really proud to announce that my latest project has now officially been released into the wild at www.seethedifference.org!
Some of my recent posts around Windows Azure have referred to this project and it will now be the subject of some upcoming posts too.
This was a great project from a technical perspective:
- It was the first *full* cloud solution that we have built/delivered at EMC Consulting – fully running on the Windows Azure platform, using Web Roles, Worker Roles, Azure Storage and SQL Azure
- The total build time was 7 weeks due to properly re-using IP, patterns and practices from previous projects
A publicity perspective:
- Members of the team have presented at least 5 Microsoft conferences, events and user groups about the project
And the non-tangible feel good perspective:
- We helped a new UK charity startup launch their business by making it financially and technically possible
- We contributed to something that will hopefully make a difference to a large number of good causes
Please check out the site, promote it, and if you’re feeling generous make a donation!!

James, fantastic (should I say as usual?). Hope this encourages many others to have a pragmatic look at Azure. I am in touch with german charties, that want the same magic !
