Today I was given the honour of showing a developer video during our Developer lunch session. I browsed through a bunch of videos and webcasts on mostly ASP.NET 4.0 and Windows Azure. The candidates where:

• http://www.msdev.com/Directory/Description.aspx?EventId=1097 – Fundamentals of Windows Azure. Part 1 of 2.
• http://www.msdev.com/Directory/Description.aspx?EventId=1098 – Developing a Windows Azure application. Part 2 of 2.
• http://www.bestechvideos.com/2009/04/15/mix09-building-web-applications-with-windows-azure
• http://www.bestechvideos.com/2009/04/15/mix09-microsoft-asp-net-4-0-what-s-next

 

Finally, I chose http://www.msdev.com/Directory/Description.aspx?EventId=1098 which included a brief introduction to ‘the cloud’ as well as providing some code samples on how to program a web role and worker role. The video is a bit over an hour and is really interesting if you are new to developing Azure applications.
