About David Burela

I work as a Senior .Net developer, focusing on Silverlight, Windows Azure and Windows Phone 7.

I am currently writing a book on Windows Azure & Silverlight integration for enterprise applications https://www.packtpub.com/microsoft-silverlight-4-enterprise-integration-on-windows-azure/book

Have completed a Bachelor of Computer Science, a Masters of Computer Science and a MBA (Masters of Business Administration). I use this unique mixture technology and business degrees to look at software in a different way.
