Today I was delighted to speak at Boston Code Camp 21… Yes, that’s 21 code camps over the past 10+ years put on by the Boston dev community. There is a long list of volunteers , speakers, and sponsors.
My talk was: “Pragmatic Azure – What can the Azure Cloud do for me?” and the abstract is included below and the deck is here:
ABSTRACT
Pragmatic Azure – What can the Azure Cloud do for me?
Session Details – Boston Code Camp 21 – June 2014
Location: One Mem Drive, Commons (enter on 11)
A whirlwind introduction to the Microsoft Azure public cloud platform followed by a bunch of pragmatic ways to use it. From simple Web Sites to web-scale Cloud Services, from on-the-cheap dev-test environments to auto-scaling production services, Windows Azure covers the spectrum. What’s the story with designing for failure? What happens if I need to scale? How do I manage costs? These and more questions will be addressed.
Presented by Azure MVP Bill Wilder, it is based on real-world insights from an Azure-focused consultant who’s been working with the platform since the day it was announced in 2008. Some of the topics will be drawn from Bill’s Cloud Architecture Patterns book (O’Reilly Media, 2012).
