Since the announcement of Windows Azure, codenamed "Red Dog" as discovered by my colleague Mary-Jo Foley, at PDC 2008, I have felt an element of doubt hanging over the service, simply because I didn't know enough about it. This post will explain everything you need to know about Azure - what it is, why it's there, what can be done on it and why students should utilise it.
