Faizal and Wely (MVP) started new user group for Windows Azure “AzureUG.SG” With growing cloud business in Singapore. Initially they started to share our knowledge with .NET user group and SQL user group (2 session contacted this year) but these avenue limited us to share respective group related topics. Windows Azure topic such as :

4.            Sync frame work
