Bill Loden from IT Mentors provides a nice, easy to follow demo that shows “Joe the developer” how to develop on Windows Azure from Visual Studio. I really like the way the content is provided in chapters which makes it easy to break up the lab into sections which means you can complete it in chunks in case you don’t have time to finish the whole thing.
In this virtual lab, you will create a fully functional Windows Azure application from scratch. In the process, you will become familiar with several important components of the Windows Azure architecture including Web Roles, Worker Roles, and Windows Azure storage. You will also learn how to integrate a Windows Azure application with Windows Live ID authentication, and you’ll learn how to store relational data in the cloud using SQL Azure.
