Foreword

When Roberto asked us to write a foreword for this book, he made us happy for several rea-

sons. First, it’s a pleasure introducing you to the work of one of the members of DevLeap, a

group of professionals who have always been distinguished by the quality and the clarity of

their teaching materials and courses. Second, the topic discussed in this book touches one

of the most important issues for the future of our profession: cloud computing, and in par-

ticular, the Windows Azure Platform, which is the rst application infrastructure specically

conceived and built for the cloud.

The evolution of networks and the growing diffuseness of the Internet, after having trans-

formed the way people consume content, are on the verge of changing the way we think

about concepts such as computational power and storage capabilities. We are used to think-

ing of those as related to local physical machines, but the advent of cloud computing is

leading toward a revolution in how we access computational and storage resources. Thanks

to the Windows Azure Platform, huge data centers easily provide the computational power,

storage, services, and applications developers need to develop their own solutions, trans-

forming them into services accessible on demand.

Providing technologies and infrastructures that we are already familiar with, within an on-de-

mand infrastructure, helps to reduce management and hardware and software maintenance

and licensing costs and to constantly increase available computational power and storage

capacity.

In this book, Roberto accompanies us through the world of the Windows Azure platform and

services, providing us with detailed but still basic explanations about the objectives and fea-

tures of the major components of this new platform and telling us how we can leverage this

platform to host our own services and applications. Ranging from the core of the Windows

Azure Platform to its deployment and monitoring services, from SQL Azure to full integration

with the development tools, this book guides us in discovering the main aspects of this new

technology, from a concrete, development-oriented perspective and with plenty of practi-

cal examples, in line with the philosophy that has always inspired any DevLeap activity. Case

studies and practical tips regarding the use of the services and the most efcient implemen-

tation strategies show the best way to approach the Windows Azure Platform, allowing us to

ride this new technological wave, which is expected to signicantly improve our chances to

leverage computational power, storage, and basic services, from the beginning.

Introduction

Windows Azure is the Microsoft cloud computing platform that lets developers leverage its

powerful, scalable, and fault-tolerant infrastructure to build successful applications.

Windows Azure Step by Step provides an organized walkthrough of the Windows Azure

platform and its related technologies. The text is decidedly introductory; it discusses every

released component, discussing theory interspersed with simple but effective procedures

you can follow, and offering downloadable code examples you can use to jump-start your

learning about the Azure platform and as a basis for your own explorations.

The book provides coverage of every Windows Azure platform component that has been

released to production by Microsoft as of the time of this writing, as well as some related

technologies, such as WCF Data Services, OData, and the ADO.NET Entity Framework.

Who Should Read This Book

This book’s goal is to aid .NET developers who want to start working with the components

of the Windows Azure platform—from the operating system to SQL Azure and Windows

Azure AppFabric. A solid knowledge of the .NET Framework is helpful in fully understanding

the code examples and following the exercises using Visual Studio. The content of this book

should also prove useful to software architects who need an overview of the components

they plan to include in the overall architecture of a cloud-based solution.

Who Should Not Read This Book

If you have already been working with the Windows Azure platform, this book is probably

not for you. This book is an introductory guide to developing applications that leverage the

platform.

Assumptions

This book expects that you have at least a minimal understanding of .NET development and

object-oriented programming concepts. Although Windows Azure can run all .NET language

platforms and many third-party (and open source) runtimes, this book includes examples

in C# only. If you are not yet familiar with C#, you should consider reading John Sharp’s

Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Step by Step (Microsoft Press, 2010) rst.

The Web Role examples assume a basic understanding of ASP.NET Web Forms technology,

although the code examples don’t use any advanced ASP.NET features.

Organization of This Book

This book is divided into eleven chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect or

technology within the Windows Azure platform.

■

Chapter 1 provides a technical overview of cloud computing scenarios and a avor of

Windows Azure.

■

Chapter 2 analyzes the various components of the platform and guides the reader

through the Windows Azure Management Portal to start using it.

■

Chapter 3 introduces Hosted Services, instances, virtual machines, and roles.

■

Chapter 4 is dedicated to the construction of a simple application that leverages the

Storage Account feature to store and retrieve blobs.

■

Chapter 5 maintains the focus on the Storage Account, explaining the main concepts

around tables and queues, and introduces the Worker Role feature.

■

Chapter 6 dives deep into important aspects such as billing, security, management cer-

ticates, and afnity groups.

■

Chapter 7 is dedicated to Windows Azure AppFabric, one of the platform components

built on the Windows Azure Operating System.

■

Chapter 8 focuses on WCF Data Services and guides you through the creation of an

Entity Data Model and the use of the “Astoria” project to expose this model with REST

and OData protocols.

■

Chapter 9 is dedicated to SQL Azure, the SQL Server cloud brother.

■

Chapter 10 leverages the Windows Azure services from an on-premises application and

different programming environments.

■

Chapter 11 is dedicated to the application architecture.

Conventions and Features in This Book

This book presents information using conventions designed to make the information read-

able and easy to follow.

■

In most cases, the book includes exercises for Visual C# programmers. The presented

code and procedure are purposely kept as simple as possible, so you can probably gain

insight by studying the C# examples even if you are a Visual Basic programmer.

■

Each exercise consists of a series of tasks, presented as numbered steps (1, 2, and so on)

listing each action you must take to complete the exercise.
