《云计算与Azure平台实战》涉及服务器端和客户端在本地Azure Development Fabric下的Visual Studio2008、.NET Framework 3.5、Windows Azure软件开发包（Software Development Kit，SDK）、.NET服务SDK、SQL Azure SDK和ADO.NET数据服务编程。示例程序演示了基于Azure Blob、表和队列的数据存储与检索，基于ASRNE7成员资格和Azure访问控制服务的用户身份验证和授权，用服务总线和它的队列与路由实现服务端与客户端的相互连接，用.NET服务和VS的图形界面的工作流设计器植入工作流。大部分示例代码使用示例StorageClient库以简化传统.NET对象编程而不是生硬的HTTPS请求和响应。 Leverage the power of the Azure Services Platform for cloud computing With the Azure Services Platform, processing and storing data moves from individual corporate servers and Web sites to larger, more reliable, and more secure data centers. Roger Jennings, author of more than 30 books on Microsoft technologies, shows you how to leverage the power of Azure and its related services for cloud computing. The book begins with a look at the differences between cloud computing and application hosting and examines the various issues that .NET developers and IT managers face in moving from on-premise to cloud-based applications, including security, privacy, regulatory compliance, backup and recovery, asset cataloging, and other common technical issues. The author then drills down, showing basic programming for individual Azure components, including storage, SQL Data Services, and .NET Services. He then moves on to cover more advanced programming challenges. Explains the benefits of using the Azure Services Platform for cloud computing Shows how to program with Windows Azure components, including Azure Table and Blob storage, .NET Services and SQL Azure Addresses advanced programming challenges of creating useful projects that combine cloud storage with Web applications or services Companion Web site features complete, finished applications that can be uploaded to jump start a Windows Azure project Roger Jennings clears away the clouds and gets you started using the Azure Services Platform.
