About the Author

Riccardo Becker works full-time as a Principal IT Architect for Logica, in the

Netherlands. He holds several certiications, and his background in computing goes

way back to 1998, when he started working with good old' Visual Basic 5.0 (or was

it 6.0?). Ever since, he fulilled several roles, such as Developer, Lead Developer,

Architect, Project Leader, Practice Manager, and recently, he decided to accept

the role of Principal IT Architect, in which he focuses on innovation, cutting-edge

technology, and speciically on Windows Azure and cloud computing in general.

In 2007, he joined the Microsoft LEAP program, where he got a peek at the move

Microsoft was about to make on their road to the cloud. Pat Helland gave him that

insight, and since the irst release of Windows Azure on PDC 2008, he started to

focus on it, keeping track of the progress and the maturity of the platform. In the

past few years, he has also done a lot of work on incubation with his employer,

raising awareness on cloud computing in general and Windows Azure.

I would like to thank all my colleagues who were counterparts with

me on various subjects in the world of Azure. Special thanks to my

dear colleague and friend, Raymond Binnendijk en Rémon ter

Haar, who helped me out throughout the whole project.

I also would like to thank the folks from Packt Publishing, especially

Sai Gamare, who helped me keep on track and on schedule, despite

some obstacles and some changes that I made to the original outline.

Special thanks to my employer Logica for all the opportunities that

have helped me in realizing this book. It is thanks to the daily job

and to getting the opportunity to focus on these subjects that I have

come to this point of having enough substance to write this book.
