		<title>Moving VHDs to the Cloud</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I speak with customers about cloud computing, a common question is often “how do I migrate an application to the cloud?&#8221;  While this is a multi-part answer, one of the hurdles for migration is often storage.

		<title>Presenting Successful Demos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was watching a presentation yesterday, half way through which the presenters fired up a demo of their application. To their horror, the demos failed spectacularly.&#160; After what seemed like an eternity trying to recover, the presenters were forced to move on, leaving the presenters visibly annoyed and the audience disappointed.
Although I’m not immune to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cloud Computing Interoperability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few weeks I’ve been working with Jean Paoli’s team at Microsoft to create an application that runs across multiple cloud vendors.&#160; Jean’s team has been working on a number of SDKs for PHP and Java, and I wanted to create a sample that demonstrated all of them working together.

		<description><![CDATA[If you’ve been following the recent developments on Windows Azure, you are probably aware that the July CTP of Windows Azure introduced support for FastCGI.&#160; One of the benefits of supporting FastCGI is the ability to run PHP applications in the Azure fabric.&#160;

		<title>Screencasts from &quot;Patterns for Cloud Computing&quot; Presentation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since returning from Europe a couple of weeks ago, I&#39;ve been asked if my presentations were recorded, especially for the demos shown.&#160; A number of events did record the session, and I&#39;m sure they will be making these available soon, but in meantime I have put together screencasts for each of my demos.&#160; 
The first [...]]]></description>
