In April of 2013 we held the first Global Windows Azure Bootcamp (http://global.windowsazurebootcamp.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Global-Windows-Azure-Bootcamp-2013.pdf) at more than 90 locations (http://global.windowsazurebootcamp.com/?page_id=3522) around the globe! This year we want to again offer up a one day deep dive class to help thousands of people get up to speed on discovering Cloud Computing Applications for Windows Azure. In addition to this great learning opportunity the hands on labs will feature pooling a huge global compute farm to perform diabetes research (http://global.windowsazurebootcamp.com/charity)!

In Mauritius, the event will be organised by Microsoft Indian Ocean Islands & French Pacific (https://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/phone/contact.aspx?country=Indian%20Ocean%20Islands) in partnership with The Mauritius Software Craftsmanship Community (https://www.meetup.com/MauritiusSoftwareCraftsmanshipCommunity/) (MSCC) and sponsored by Microsoft, Ceridian (http://www.ceridian.mu/) and Emtel (http://www.emtel.com).
