Sources of Windows Azure Developer Guidance

You can think of this as a “topology map” of some of the main sources of Windows Azure developer guidance from Microsoft. Simply by knowing what types of resources are available (code, forums, documentation, training, etc.), and by knowing where to look, you improve your success at finding the resources you need to get your job done, whether that’s figuring out how to code for a particular scenario, ramping up on the technology, or finding the latest news. Here is a summary of the various channels and some of what they have to offer:
