Taking it to the Cloud with Windows Azure

During the course of the presentation you will learn the benefits of cloud computing, and how to leverage the features of Windows Azure. We will start by creating a Web Role (Web Application) using the Developer Fabric to simulate the cloud environment on our local machine. Next we will upgrade our application and add the ability to store data using Developer Storage and modifying the Service Configuration file. We will also cover debugging an application in the cloud as well as creating a background process using worker roles.

An Xbox 360 can be won at this presentation!
