Developer Contest: Meet The New Windows Azure

Windows Azure has just undergone a major update, making it easier for developers to deploy their applications from Mac, Windows, or Linux with Git. Microsoft is celebrating this launch with an extended developer contest offering a significant prize package and free Twilio credit. The challenge involves building a Twilio app on Windows Azure, with the winner receiving up to $60,000 in Windows Azure usage over 2 years and a promotion on the Twilio and Microsoft blogs. New developers can take advantage of a 90-day free trial of Windows Azure and sign up for an account with Twilio to start building their next game-changing app. The contest rules include submitting an entry by July 1st, using Twilio API and Windows Azure, and including a video or screencast with the submission.
