Vancouver Tech Fest 2012

Four of us here at Frozen Mountain had the opportunity to take part in Vancouver Tech Fest this past weekend. What an awesome event! Great people, great presentations, great food... If you live in the lower mainland of BC or northwest Washington, you owe it to yourselves to check it out.

Scott Guthrie delivered the keynote this year, and his talk, along with several others, focused on Windows Azure. There's been a lot of attention around Azure lately, and it's great to see some momentum building up. The economics of the system are compelling, and with performance and stability improving constantly, there are fewer and fewer reasons not to use it.
