    I'm considering deveoting some time to getting my head stuck into Azure. I've a few questions: 1. Is there anybody learning Azure at the moment? 2. Is there anybody doing fulltime Azure development? [Dont vote just answer]

    Take a look at how busy the Clownd forum isn't :) That said, I'm over 30 so anything new is the work of the devil...

      It's difficult to answer as it's all virtual. According to Microsoft there are 853,000 active developers[1]. However using empirical evidence[2] the figure is much lower. About 3. [1] Numbers made up for the benefit of a good reasonable terrible joke. [2] That is what I am doing.

            Looking at companies like Logica, they seem to be investing in the cloud, I also have this from somebody who works for Logica.

                  There's always the Report Member button. I'd say this definitely counts as abusive.

                        I have no experience whatsoever with Azure, but IMO it is definitely worth a try, while: - There will always be someone interested in _using_ the technology. - There is currently very few interest in _developing for_ that technology. Smells like a niche.

                          We're looking into it primarily because we know that clients are buying into the hype (sorry, I mean well thought out and reasoned marketing spiel). If we want to keep getting clients, we have to work with what they want.

                            Thinking on the lines of everything else, learn it whist its young and be a the forefront when its eventually mainsteam technology.

                                True, like I said to Nagy, Logica are throwing a lot of resources into Cloud technology.

                                        That's the problem with it for me: it is and it isn't rehashed-stuff-for-the-past. It is in essence a return to the bad old Mainframe Computer model, but this time with added insecurity. Do they really back up properly? How many people have access to our data? Can our data be intercepted?
