The March meeting featured Buck Woody entertaining us about “The Cloud” (Azure) and SQL Azure. It was a fun and great presentation, and 66 folks came to hear and learn –and I’m sure many left with a better idea of where “The Cloud” will fit in their future plans. Buck blogged about the presentation here, and a recording of the session is available here. Apex Systems provided tasty and healthy food from Subway.
We wish to acknowledge Robert Half Technologies for supporting Oregon SQL by generously sponsoring the meeting venue.
