UKWAUG Talk: RavenDb on Azure in 15 minutes

On Friday 30th of December I attended the UK Windows Azure User Group and spoke about about running RavenDB - a great NoSQL technology - on an Azure VM. Thanks to the UKWAUG for hosting the event and the other speakers for some really interesting and inspiring content. The pizza and beer went down very well too.

The other talks included:

• Cost saving Azure Solution Architecture
• Creating a Facebook Application in 15 Minutes on an Azure Web Site with BitBucket as source control
• Robot Ball Wars - A tech showdown using Sphero controlled from Smart Devices and a NetDuino with various inputs such as a Wii Remote. The showdown culminated in two Sphero balls dancing in tandem to Gangnam style which was bizzare but lots of fun.
