Before

Just half a year ago, I chatted with the strange guy about the concept of cloud computing, which seemed to be a new thing at the time. Today, I have been able to feel the implementation of Cloud technology at the teched press conference. This amazing speed indeed exceeded all my imagination. There is no doubt that azure will be indispensable in the future, and the imagination it brings is enough to cheer us for the future. So in the future, I will continue to focus on all the movements of azure and share all new things as soon as possible.

1 Introduction

Today is the first day of the teched 2008 Beijing site. As a technology event, many eye-catching new technologies are indispensable for a wide range of technical developers. Virtualization, SQL Server, Nui, cloud computing, and many others are full of surprises and expectations. Only at that moment can we feel the charm of technology in the world, at the same time, I am proud to be a technology developer. Although we often complain about the speed of light of technological follow-up, we need to constantly enrich and innovate. At the same time, we are happy with the technological progress revolution, making the world more colorful.

Just half a year ago, I chatted with the strange guy about the concept of cloud computing, which seemed to be a new thing at the time. Today, I have been able to feel the implementation of Cloud technology at the teched press conference. This amazing speed indeed exceeded all my imagination. As fans, I had to force myself to try writing my first cloud application: Hello, Cloud.

However, because of authorization, I have not received the invitation code, so I still cannot complete a complete cloud application, so I can only look forward to the second round of romance.

2. Learn about azure Services Platform

Simply put, azure services is an Internet cloud service platform based on Microsoft Data Centers. It provides us with a real-time operating system and a series of development services. It can be said that azure services platform is provided by Microsoft and can support cloud services for various applications. You can integrate Web applications, PC systems, servers, and various interconnected device applications, implemented in a framework.

It is commendable that developers familiar with Visual Studio and various advanced languages can develop seamless azure services applications without too much investment. This is an exciting advantage. We can continue to use the development habits of the reasons to implement applications running on the cloud. Any advanced language that supports the. NET framework can be used for rapid development. Next, we will show you how to use the existing Visual Studio 2008 to implement a simple cloud application.ProgramAnd implements a "Hello, Cloud!" on the cloud for the first time !" To experience the powerful motive force behind azure service platform.

Here is a basic technical content included in azure service platform:

• Windows Azure, as a powerful cloud Operating System of azure services platform, supports the management of development, service hosting, and service management environments. Develop any. Net-based hosted applications by effectively integrating Visual Studio (Windows azure tools for Microsoft Visual Studio must be installed. In addition to Windows Azure, the azure services platform architecture also includes:
• Live services
• . Net Services
• SQL services
• SharePoint Services
• Dynamic CRM services

We don't need to explain more about these applications.ArticleIn the subsequent chapters, I hope to gradually implement various applications developed based on Visual Studio that can run on the cloud to gradually learn more about azure. There is no doubt that azure will be indispensable in the future, and the imagination it brings is enough to cheer us for the future.

3. How to develop

The following is a general procedure for cloud services development:

• First, you must download related sdks. the following resources can be downloaded:

Windows azure SDK

Windows azure tools for Microsoft Visual Studio

Microsoft. NET Services SDK

Microsoft SQL Data Services SDK

Live framework documentation and resources

• Next, you need to apply for a registration application and apply invitation token to obtain windows azure authorization on the azure services developer portal. (Note: The resource token cannot be obtained simply because it is still in the CTP version. After registration, you have to wait, just as I am anxious .)
• Use Visual Studio to develop the cloud application program and debug and compile it.
• Create a new project on the azure services developer portal and deploy a new cloud application package and configuration file.
• Finally, we will try your cloud application.

I will explain in subsequent chapters of this series how to implement web applications running on the cloud based on the existing framework and azure SDK.
