2:30 PM Saturday Room: 5502
Windows Azure Storage provides a scalable, fault-tolerant data store for your applications. Since it does not use familiar relational database concepts, developing applications that can take advantage of Windows Azure Storage require an understanding of new concepts, namely Blobs, Tables and Queues. In this session, you will explore the Windows Azure Storage model and then put it to use by converting an ASP.NET Photo Gallery application to use Windows Azure Storage. You will change the app so it uses WAS Blobs and Tables through REST calls instead of the filesystem and relational tables on SQL Server. In the process you will increase your knowledge of Windows Azure Storage and understand its practical applications.
