Building High Performance Web Applications
Matthew Kerner
Building Offline Applications using the Sync Framework and SQL Azure
In this session you will learn how to build a client application that operates against locally stored data and uses synchronization to keep up-to-date with a SQL Azure database. See how Sync Framework can be used to build caching and offline capabilities into your client application, making your users productive when disconnected and making your user experience more compelling even when a connection is available. See how to develop offline applications for Windows Phone 7 and Silverlight, plus how the services support any other client platform, such as iPhone and HTML5 applications, using the open web-based sync protocol.
Building Scale-Out Database Solutions on SQL Azure
SQL Azure provides an information platform that you can easily provision, configure, and use to power your cloud applications. In this session we will explore the patterns and practices that help you develop and deploy applications that can exploit the full power of the elastic, highly available, and scalable SQL Azure Database service. The talk will detail modern scalable application design techniques such as sharding and horizontal partitioning and dive into future enhancements to SQL Azure Databases.
Building, Deploying, and Managing Windows Azure Applications
In order to take full advantage of Windows Azure and SQL Azure, you need to know more than just how to write the code. You need to know how to incorporate your application in a team environment, deploy, monitor, manage and retrieve diagnostic information back from the cloud. In this session, you will learn everything you need to know to be successful with a project that utilizes Windows Azure and SQL Azure including setting up your development environment, automating build, unit test and deployments to different deployment environments from staging to production, and managing credentials and user roles using the Windows Azure Portal.
Composing Applications with AppFabric Services
AppFabric provides a rich set of application platform services as part of the Windows Azure Platform to enable developers to create line of business applications that span multiple tiers and technologies. Learn how to create scalable web-based & hosted applications in the cloud, compose them with other cloud services (such as SQL Azure Database and other forthcoming new services) and integrate them with on-premises systems using Windows Azure AppFabric technologies like Service Bus and Access Control services. This session will also cover the roadmap of AppFabric Services and demonstrate how developers will get richer application building blocks, development tools & management capabilities to compose and manage a distributed application using the Windows Azure Platform. Come and see how AppFabric Services can be integrated in to your application development & management lifecycle to reduce time & cost.
Connecting Cloud & On-Premises Apps with the Windows Azure Platform
Not every application or service can be hosted entirely in the cloud. Cloud services often need to provide a combination of cloud-based data access as well as connectivity to on-premises assets in a variety of geographies. Getting access to your on-premises or partner hosted assets securely has never been easier. In this session, learn how to securely connect applications today that span the cloud to on-premises world using Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus and SQL Azure Data Sync Service. Also, gain insight into future scenarios and technologies for assembling these types of services.

Enabling New Scenarios and Applications with Data in the Cloud
The cloud enables new scenarios for sharing and consuming data. In this session you will learn how to differentiate your applications by building them on top of Windows Azure platform and leveraging visualization and access to private, public and premium content available through Microsoft Codename “Dallas”. You will also learn how to use some of the new services and features announced at the PDC.
Identity & Access Control in the Cloud
Signing users in and granting them access is a core function of almost every cloud-based application. In this session we will show you how to simplify your user experience by enabling users to sign in with an existing account such as a Windows Live ID, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, or on-premises Active Directory account, implement access control, and make secure connections between applications. You will learn how the AppFabric Access Control Service, Windows Identity Foundation, and Active Directory Federation Services use a claims-based identity architecture to help you to take advantage of the shift toward the cloud while still fully leveraging your on-premises investments.
Inside Windows Azure
Mark Russinovich
Integrating SharePoint with Windows Azure
SharePoint 2010 provides many ways to integrate with Windows Azure. From simple SQL Azure data-centric applications to complex workflow that leverages custom Azure services, there is great potential to integrate these two growing technologies. This session will provide a code-centric view of the ways in which you can integrate with Azure, covering areas such as web part development, data programmability, service consumption, and Business Connectivity Services integration. If you’re looking to take your SharePoint solutions into the cloud with Azure, then you can’t miss this session.
Management of your Access Control Service (ACS) Namespace
The Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control Service provides a simple way to add enterprise and web Single Sign On into your applications. In this session, we will discuss how you can configure ACS for a variety of scenarios. Topics covered include: ACS entity overview, namespace partitioning, credential management, federation management, and rule management. Basic knowledge of the Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control Service is a suggested pre-requisite.
Sreeram Nivarthi
Learn how BizTalk Server 2010 and AppFabric together help you create composite applications (building on Windows Azure, Windows Server and SharePoint) which connect to existing line-of-business (LOB) systems. Understand future plans of how you will be able to compose applications using integration services – for applications running on Windows Azure, connecting to other services in the cloud, and with line-of-businesses & business partners in future. You will also learn future plans on how business users can get visibility into services built on AppFabric.
