For many developers Friday is about a beer with colleagues over lunch or maybe leaving that little bit earlier to avoid a lengthy commute. Or perhaps it is about eating a crunchie bar – but I digress.

But not this Friday. Not Friday the 8th of October 2010.

Why? Well this Friday you will have three Live Meeting sessions open across your dual screens watching three tracks of Windows Azure Platform goodness.

And you don’t even have to leave the house – or even get out of bed (Suggest you use laptop with single screen in this case)

By the way, every developer should have at least two screens – tell your boss Eric said so if he queries why. If you are the boss, shame on you for not buying every developer two screens OR well done for being enlightened if you already haveSmile
