Webcast: Windows Azure Relational Data Architecture

Tomorrow (Wed 5/11/11) I'll be giving the third in Neudesic's series of public webcasts on Windows Azure architecture. This month's webcast is on Windows Azure Relational Data.

In this webcast Windows Azure MVP and author David Pallmann will discuss the architecture of SQL Azure, the area of the Windows Azure platform responsible for providing relational database capabilities. You’ll learn how SQL Azure is similar to SQL Server in some respects and different in others, and what that means for developers and DBAs. In addition to SQL Azure Database we'll also discuss the upcoming SQL Azure services currently in preview--SQL Azure Reporting, SQL Azure Data Sync, and SQL Azure OData--as well as the Windows Azure DataMarket service. The session will include a survey of relational data design patterns.

Webcast: Windows Azure Storage Architecture

Tomorrow (Wed 4/13/11) I'll be giving the second in Neudesic's series of public webcasts on Windows Azure architecture. This month's webcast is on Windows Azure Storage.

In this webcast Windows Azure MVP and author David Pallmann will discuss the architecture of the Windows Azure Storage service, the area of the Windows Azure platform responsible for non-database storage; and related features including Windows Azure Drive and Local Storage. You’ll learn why the ratio of database-to-non-database storage tends to be different in the cloud, what the proper uses for blobs, queues, and tables are, pitfalls to avoid, and strengths you can leverage to your advantage. The session will include a tour of storage design patterns along with demonstrations.
