Its a 90 mins – 120 mins session that covers Windows Azure from Developers perspective .

Here is what will be covered in this talk:

• SQL Azure – migrate a database from the local SQLServer to a SQLAzure instance.
• Create a Web Role with a WCF service. Add code to handle the transfer of diagnostics to Table Storage and Blob Storage — tracing, IIS logs, performance counters, Windows event logs, and infrastructure logs.
• Add methods to the service that read and write to/from the SQL Azure database. This includes exponential retry code for SQL Azure connection management.
• Change a client app to consume the service, show how to add a service reference and then call it.
• Show how to change the connection strings and publish the service to the cloud.
• Change the client to run against the service in the cloud and show it work. Show the diagnostics using the tools from Cerebrata.
• Add a method to the service to submit an entry to queue. Add code to initialize the queue as needed.
• Add a worker role. Add code to handle the diagnostics. Add code to initialize the queue as needed.
• Add code to the worker role to retrieve the entries from the queue and process them. The method that processes the queue entries writes the messages to blob storage.
• Update the service reference in the client and run it; show the results in blob storage.
