Through several demonstrations and code walkthroughs, we will take a deep look into the key mechanisms enabled by the Azure Platform including - Web and Worker Role, Azure Storage, .NET Services and Azure Storage. We will also explore how to use the Service Bus to move applications into the cloud or distribute applications across sites while retaining the ability to efficiently communicate between them.
