Event Breakdown

Ray Booysen	Azure: The Cirrus in your Nimbus
"Hello World" is banished in this talk on real-world Azure applications. Demonstrating how tables, blobs and queues have been used for actual in-use applications. We'll cover two applications, one WPF and another Silverlight demonstrating the use of Azure in solving the business problems that were hard to solve using traditional technologies. We'll end the evening converting a standard Silverlight application from an IIS and SQL Server solution into an Azure web role and table storage solution.
