Windows Azure Helpers

Welcome to the Windows Azure Helpers. Originally this toolkit was built by Thuzi in collaboration with Microsoft to give the community a good starter kit for getting Facebook apps up and running in Windows Azure. Since then we have worked with Microsoft to get the Azure samples running in the Facebook C# SDK http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com and have made this toolkit more of a helper library to build Azure applications more quickly. We will have more samples and documentation to come very shortly.
