Canned demos can make anything look easy. And it is true that Microsoft has been making great strides lately to simplify cloud programming. But some things aren’t as easy as they could be. Join us for a presentation that will discuss what is easy, more complex and even downright hard to do with Microsoft Azure. 

This will go beyond the usual Hello World/Easy Path level presentation. Topics we will cover:

• A very brief overview of Azure components

• Selecting Azure Features to develop into a solution

• Building simple two-tier web sites with Azure WebApps.

• Building more complex n-tier web applications with Cloud Services

• Rolling your own complete solutions with Virtual Machines

• Authentication simplicity and complexity

• Building hyper-scale applications with Azure Service Fabric

Food should arrive around 5:30 PM and we'll plan on starting the talk at 6pm.
