Getting Started with Windows Azure
Windows Azure provides a comprehensive platform for building, deploying, and running applications in the cloud. In this session we quickly answer the question “What is Windows Azure?”. You will see how to get started with the Windows Azure SDK and tools to build your first application. You will also learn the key concepts for using Windows Azure Compute.

Hands-on Labs

The hands-on labs have been designed to take the concepts that you have learned in the session and apply them to code and solutions. Click on the hands-on lab to download the lab. Then unzip and open the Lab.docx document within the zip to begin the lab.

In order to open and run the hands-on lab, you’ll need the Windows Azure tools v1.5 or higher. If you do not already have the Windows Azure tools installed, download and install them from here.
