Announcing the New York Microsoft Cloud Computing User Group

  • Artikel

Since Microsoft announced its cloud computing platform, Windows Azure, back at the PDC in Los Angeles, there has been a lot of interest.  Bill Zack has done a series of talks on Azure at our MSDN “Suburban” Roadshows last fall, and at the MSDN Developer Conference here in New York this past week.  Now, Bill has passed on word that there is a new Microsoft Cloud Computing user group forming!  Their next meeting will delve deeper into the Azure platform.  Read on for the details…

Space fills up fast, and Building Security requires it.

Meeting topic: Windows Azure Cloud Storage

When trying to build services that are highly scalable, durable and always available, the storage of data is critical. In this session we will begin to dig deeper into Azure. We will start by examining Azure's file system otherwise known as Cloud Storage. We will discuss Cloud Storage’s ability to store both structured and unstructured data by using blobs. In addition, we will discuss building backend services and the ability of Azure to queue work to be processed by backend services using queued storage.

The NYC Microsoft Cloud Computing User Group meets every 4th Monday of the month on topics ranging over the breadth and depth of Microsoft's new software + service  cloud platform.  This platform has the most amazing development experience and reuses your existing skills sets.

Future topics will include:

  • Windows Live Services - Live ID
  • Microsoft .NET Services - SQL Services: SDS basics (ACE, Explorer)
  • Microsoft .NET Services - Service bus
  • Windows Azure - Application Model / Roles
  • Windows Live Services – Mesh
  • Microsoft .NET Services - SQL Services: Entities, queries & LINQ
  • Microsoft .NET Services - Access control
  • Windows Live Services - Sync across devices
  • Microsoft .NET Services - SQL Services: Sync
  • Microsoft .NET Services – Workflow
  • Windows Azure - Application Health Monitoring
