MSDN Tiki Hut Roadshow - Winter 2010 Run - Azure
This quarter's MSDN Roadshow aka .NET TikiHut is all about Azure. Unfortunately we've only got one 'official' tiki in the state of Florida (Tampa on March 30), but the same content is being run at the 'big MSDN event' series also (Orlando, Lauderdale, Atlanta). So for my purposes, everything all the events are .NET Tiki Hut. Except maybe for that Atlanta one I'm speaking at, which will be a Southern Fried Roadshow. Go Dawgs. If you are a user group leader in Florida who would like a shorter run of this session at your user group, let me know, and I'll see what we can work up. Just email
jhealy@microsoft.com and we can work things out.
Basically just Technology overviews "Tiki-Hut Style" for an afternoon.

 SESSION 1: Overview of Cloud Computing and Windows Azure
The Windows Azure platform is a set of high-performance cloud computing services that can be used together or independently and enable developers to leverage existing skills and familiar tools to develop cloud applications. In this session, we’ll provide a developer-focused overview of this new online service computing platform. We’ll explore the components, key features and real day-to-day benefits of Windows Azure. Highlights include: · What is cloud computing? · Running web and web service applications in the cloud · Using the Windows Azure and local developer cloud fabric · Getting started – tools, SDKs and accounts · Writing applications for Windows Azure
SESSION 2: Survey of Windows Azure Platform Storage Options Durable data storage is a key component of any cloud computing offering. The Windows Azure Platform offers many options, which can be used alone or in combination. Windows Azure itself offers ready-to-use and lightweight storage in the form of tables, blobs, and queues. Another choice for storage is SQL Azure, a true relational database in the cloud. In this session, we’ll explore the highlights of these implementations and how to both create and use storage in each form. We’ll give you guidance on choosing the right forms of storage for your application scenarios. Highlights include:
Understanding table & blob storage · Programming against table & blob storage · Working with queue storage · Managing credentials and connection strings · Scaling and configuration · Understanding SQL Azure databases versus local SQL Server databases · SQL Azure firewall, logins and passwords · Database creation, deployments and migrations · Database management using SQL Management Studio · Programming against SQL Azure databases
SESSION 3: Going Live with your Azure Solution Windows Azure features a powerful, yet simple deployment model. By focusing on your application and abstracting away the infrastructure details, you can deploy almost any app with minimal fuss. In this session, we’ll walk you through the basics of Windows Azure deployment, including site monitoring, diagnostics and performance issues. Highlights include: · Start-to-Finish Visual Studio demonstration of a realistic XML data driven business web site from the desktop to the cloud. · Windows Azure Deployments · Start-to-Finish Visual Studio demonstration of a realistic SQL Server data driven business web site from the desktop to the cloud. · Configuration of your application in the cloud · Guidance and Suggestions to ensure your success

MSDN Tiki Hut Roadshow - Fall 2009 Run - Blend3 / Silverlight 3/ Opening the Tacklebox on Win7 Dev - posted at 8/19/2009 1:46 PM
 Session 1: Opening the Tacklebox on Windows 7 Development
We'll riffle through the Win7 tackle box and teach you to rig up your Windows 7 development techniques. We'll explore the codepack APIs, sensor kit and APIs, the new desktop widget metaphors, multi-touch, virtualization strategies, and more. Expect a ton of short code snippets illustrating key points. This session will go long, and you’ll be able to reel in all the extras online.
Session 2: Expression Blend 3.0 … The game has changed
The Expression Blend 3.0 SketchFlow feature changes the game when it comes to both developers and designers becoming integrated on the development and design process. You’ll learn how to prototype WPF and Silverlight Applications with amazing speed, and provide review, feedback and documentation with ease. In addition to SketchFlow, you’ll be able to attach behaviors to visual elements in Expression Blend 3 to make them behave a certain way, such as drag and drop or physics. Did you know you can do a direct import of Photoshop and Illustrator? The answer is… yes you can! Learn how to import your Photoshop or Illustrator assets and preserve layer information as all is converted to XAML. You can then take a piece of imported XAML and easily convert it to a button or other element. You don’t want to miss this session.
For ITPro's - the ITPro Tiki Hut will be taking place during the am of each event. Blain Barton will be leading up such topics as Migrating Windows XP to Windows 7, DirectAccess With Windows 7, and Optimizing Your Environment with Remote Desktop Services and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

Joe’s geographical responsibility is to provide ‘developer care’ for the state of Florida. Joe serves a multitude of clients, from corporate accounts to broad reach events and User Groups.

Joe has also served time with eAngler.com, Arthur Andersen, Cap Gemini, EDS, and IBM in various capacities.
Russ Fustino ( Russ's Tool Shed ) Russ wisely shelved dreams of rock and roll stardom in order to share his vast knowledge with developers nationwide. Given that he can't sing or play an instrument, other than in Guitar Hero, we're all very grateful. His theme song is tough enough. Russ has more than 25 years of software development. He's the creator of the Russ' Tool Shed developer seminar series and has donned his trademark suspenders, hardhat and tool belt in presentations for over 75,000 developers at 1,700 events. Russ also has expertise in developing Visual Basic and Web-based solutions using Microsoft tools. Before joining Microsoft eleven years ago, Russ worked as a VB instructor, headed up a development department, and created several client/server applications and system software products. His specialties include development with VB.NET, XML Web services, ASP.NET, XNA, Silverlight, Development Tools and debugging.
