This session explains how to secure Service Bus using the Access Control Service. This is also an extension session for my session at BUILD , but watching the BUILD session is not a strict prerequisite.

This session is a followup to the Service Bus session that I did at the build conference and explains advanced usage patterns:

Our team’s Development Manager MK (Murali Krishnaprasad) and me were interviewed by Michael Washam on May 2011 CTP release of Windows Azure AppFabric. We discuss new technologies such as Topics, Queues, Subscriptions and how this relates to doing async...

(This post has been written by my coworker Eric Lam who pulled this all together – he wrote it as an email to the team – I’m just ripping that off) NuGet ( http://www.nuget.org/ ) is an open source package manager for .NET started by Microsoft. For...

I’ve been starting to use Cinchcast to post little audio clips that I record while driving from and to work about things that come up with regards to Service Bus on the forums or on Twitter or elsewhere. The RSS feed is at http://www.cinchcast.com/clemensv...

Here’s a (incomplete) snapshot of what’s out there in terms of material for the new Service Bus CTP: First read the release notes where we provide a summary of what’s new and what changed and also point out some areas of caution on parallel installs...

A lot of partners and customers we talk to are telling us that they think of Service Bus as one of the key differentiators of the Windows Azure platform because it enables customers to build and interconnect applications that reflect the reality of where...

I’ll admit this is an odd topic for me to write about since my job pretty far away from that part of the world, but our PM team at MS is building a set of demos for which we need some semi-random and fun input data that doesn’t change all that rapidly...

For programmers writing distributed systems and are not using queues in them just yet. If you are a message-oriented middleware veteran - move along ;-)

In my PDC talk I’m showing a few little samples that are not in the SDK for the CTP release . I’ve bundled them up and they’re attached to this post. The solution contains three samples: SBMT is the ‘Service Bus Management Tool’, a small command...

My PDC10 session is available online (it was pre-recorded). I talk about the new ‘Labs’ release that we released into the datacenter this week and about a range of future capabilities that we’re planning for Service Bus. Some of those future capabilities...

We know that there’s a number of you out there who have outbound firewall rules in place on your corporate infrastructures that are based on IP address whitelisting. So if you want to make Service Bus or Access Control work, you need to know where our...

There must be dozens of these things, but I didn’t find one online last week and I needed a tool like this to prep a part of my keynote demo in Poland last week – and thus I wrote one. It’s a simple file management utility that works with the Windows...

As our team was starting to transform our parts of the Azure Services Platform from a CTP ‘labs’ service exploring features into a full-on commercial service, it started to dawn on us that we had set ourselves up for writing a bunch of ‘enterprise apps...

This post explains an essential class for asynchronous programming that lurks in the depths of the WCF samples: InputQueue<T>. If you need to write efficient server-side apps, you should consider reading through this and add InputQueue<T>...

Juval Löwy’s very successful WCF book is now available in its third edition – and Juval asked me to update the foreword this time around. It’s been over three years since I wrote the foreword to the first edition and thus it was time for an update since...

For the (blog-) record - if you'd ever be looking for me on Twitter (where I'm sadly writing tons more than here), I'm @clemensv over there :-)

In case you need a refresher or update about the things me and our team work on at Microsoft, go here for a very recent and very good presentation by my PM colleague Maggie Myslinska from TechEd Australia 2010 about Windows Azure AppFabric with Service...

I put the slides for my talks at NT Konferenca 2010 on SkyDrive . The major difference from my APAC slides is that I had to put compute and storage into one deck due to the conference schedule, but instead of purely consolidating and cutting down the...

I'm on a tour through several countries right now and I'm talking to ISVs about the Windows Azure platform, its capabilities and the many opportunities ISVs have to transform the way they do business by moving to the cloud. The first day of the events...
