This week we are excited to present the next in our series of Virtual Tech Summits: Cloud Development. Registration is free as always so if you've ever wondered what design patters you should look at when developing for the cloud, or are interested in implementing NoSQL or using Azure AppFabric, then sign up now while space is still available.
With the Easter long weekend, travel, chocolate overdoses and general tidying up to be done, no big releases this week, just dozens and dozens of seriously good articles. The list of latest articles is always available, or just dive into the list of new additions below.
