Microsoft Azure: Enterprise Application Development

Microsoft Azure: Enterprise Application Development, 9781849680981 (1849680981), Packt Publishing, 2010

This fast-paced guide enables developers to design and build Enterprise applications for the cloud. You will find it easy to follow this book, as the authors use an actual online portal application for the case study. Throughout the development of the sample application there is discussion of important considerations for moving an application into the cloud. If you provide technological leadership to their enterprise - senior developers, architects, CIO/CTO and you want or need to guide your enterprise's application design to Azure, this is the perfect book for you! Since the examples are in .NET, the book will skew to MS-oriented developers. But a lot of what is discussed will be applicable to anyone wanting to work with Azure. No matter what language you use, you provision the application fabric the same way, and all the underlying concepts will be the same. You will need experience with Visual Studio, and some basic SQL Server knowledge.

About the Authors

Richard J. Dudley has experience in the field of computers, going all way back to PC-DOS 1.1 (of which the original box still sits in a closet), with 128K and dual floppies. He began programming in GW-BASIC, and has used nearly every BASIC variant along the way. He was very active in the Louisville BBS community in the 1980s.

Richard holds a BS in Environmental Science from Allegheny College, and an MS in Biological Sciences from The University of Alabama. He developed his programming skills as a way to record and analyze his data, and later collaborate with other labs as the World Wide Web slowly came into being. Eventually, the dot com boom was too tempting, and Rich left science to be become a full-time developer. Rich spent 10 years as an Enterprise Developer, building and supporting everything from consumer websites to several mission-critical systems integrations, to Crystal-and SSRS-based BI tools, to a number of internal line-of-business applications.

Rich is now a Technology Evangelist for ComponentOne, where his job is to support the user community by working with all the latest Microsoft technologies.

Rich's past employers include The University of Alabama-Birmingham (Research Assistant V), The University of Pittsburgh (Research Specialist II), Spang & Co. (e-Commerce Developer), and Armada Supply Chain Solutions (Senior Application Developer).
