Many thanks to the folks that attended my session at Microsoft Ignite about Building ASP.NET with Microsoft Azure.  We had standing-room-only in the room, and I understand that the overflow room was full as well.

Here are some link resources for more information from the session:

• Channel 9 Recording of the session
• Demo Source Code
• Demo Photo Album
• My Twitter
• ASP.NET Blog
• Azure Documentation Center

I’ll follow-up later today or tomorrow morning with some of my favorite pics that you shared with me during our interactive Ignite Photo session.
