Topic: Beyond Hello Cloud – Developing Applications for Windows Azure
Cloud computing is rapidly emerging as a viable alternative to traditional on-premise and web-hosting architectural solutions. It involves taking part (or all) of your software solutions and having a company host everything in a massive datacenter, with on-demand scaling and high reliability.
Windows Azure is Microsoft's approach to providing "Cloud-enabled" Applications; you can think of it as the OS in the cloud. There are a number of examples on the web describing how to develop very basic Windows Azure Applications such as "Hello Cloud". In this session Charles Nurse will describe the various pieces that make up a Windows Azure Application, beyond the very simple "Hello Cloud" type application.
