deCast: Azure Web Casts on Channel 9
Rob Bagby has started out a multipart series of Azure web casts on channel 9, which will hopefully give some real insight into the world of Windows Azure from setting up your machine right through to creating scalable applications using the Azure storage model.
In this first webcast Rob goes through what is needed for your local dev environment and how to set it up. Giving the low down on the SDK’s and tools needed for working with Azure within Visual Studio.
He then goes through the simple steps to create your first “Hello World” Azure application, which really is just as easy as making an ASP.net web page and then deploying it out to the cloud, using the Azure online portal (including how to set this up).
More detailed steps for this video can be found on via Rob’s blog, especially this post.
Can’t wait for the next instalment, hopefully this will become a regular slot on Channel 9.
