5 Minutes into the First Quarter

domgreen — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:16:23 GMT

Great Channel 9 video featuring Amitabh Srivastava the VP for Windows Azure, talking about Azure, the cloud, cloud services, developing for the cloud and some insights into what's in store for the future.

My favourite quote from this hour long dive into Azure, is when Amitabh say’s that he sees Azure and the current state of the cloud only being only:

“5 minutes into the first quarter”

With such great advances being made from many of the big players in computing to push towards cloud technologies, it will really be an interesting area in the months and years to come.

deCast: Azure Web Casts on Channel 9

domgreen — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 20:14:51 GMT

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.

This video gives found via Steve Clayton's and Mark Johnston's blog's shows one of the funniest tongue in cheek overviews of what Windows Azure (codename: Red Dog) is all about.

It also proves that the DPE guys, within Microsoft UK have a little too much time on their hands. Keep up the good work though and keep the videos coming.
