ExperienceWorks it’s a partnership program initiated by MSP from Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and the local IT companies: BitStar, IQuest, ForTech and Evozon. The scope of the program is to link students, companies and academics using the common element – Microsoft technologies. This is the first edition –v.1.0.
I want to thank to all participants. It was a nice experience to share Windows Azure with you. I’ll be waiting until April 10 your email with the members of the team and the project you intend to do. You’ll have to finish it until May 1-14 when I suppose you are going to deliver it to the faculty too. Also don’t forget that we have the Windows Azure licenses – and no credit card or payment is required. As usual I’ve made a summary of the day 2. Just look below:
