Background

Welcome to the monthly public sector developer dinner event . For the next several months, we will focus on SharePoint 2010 Development starting January 2011. If you are interested in presenting a topic, please let us know. This objective of this session is to discuss ways in which your SharePoint based solutions can be used conjunction with the cloud. As part of this session, we will look at SharePoint Online that is part of recently announced Microsoft Office365. Additionally, we will look into ways in which SharePoint solutions integrate with Azure, covering areas such as web part development, data programmability, service consumption, and Business Connectivity Services integration.
