Presentation: "Platform choices on the Windows Azure PaaS (it's not just .NET and SQL Server)"

Track: Private Clouds / Time: Thursday 13:20 - 14:10 / Location: Glazen Zaal

In this talk, we'll look at where the Windows Azure platform is at and where it's going. If you thought Azure was just a platform for ASP.NET and SQL Server applications, prepare to be pleasantly surprised. I'll share some examples of projects where I’ve used alternative .NET technologies, the first-class support for Node.js (which includes a full SDK for working with the Azure platform services), and NoSQL solutions like MongoDB and RavenDB. And hopefully some of the über-cool things that are under NDA as I write this abstract will have been made public, so we can talk about those too! Seriously, there's some awesome stuff coming.

Keywords: azure, cloud, node.js, ravendb, mongodb
Target Audience: developers, architects

Mark's career in software design and development spans three decades and more programming languages than he cares to remember. C# has been his favourite language pretty much since the first public beta, when you had to write the code in a text editor and compile it on the command line.
