Building Windows Azure applications with Node.js

In this presentation, we will explore the services available in Windows Azure and look at how to take advantage of them with Node.js and the Windows Azure SDK. We will look at storage options such as table and blob storage, SQL Azure, SQL Server, and MySQL. We will also look at how to leverage the new Web Sites feature of Azure to host your Express-based website or REST APIs on the Windows Azure platform. This presentation will not be an introduction into Azure and will not cover the theoretical concepts of cloud computing. I will be using sample programs to demonstrate the major features of each Azure subsystem or service that we talk about.
