PRESENTATION: Intro to PHP with Windows Azure
Presented by Glen Gordon
Windows Azure is the name for Microsoft's Software + Services platform, an operating system in the cloud providing services for hosting, management, scalable storage with support for simple blobs, tables, and queues, as well as a management infrastructure for provisioning and geo-distribution of cloud-based services, and a development platform for the Azure Services layer.
In this session, learn about how Microsoft's offering is different from any other cloud service provider out there, and how you can host your PHP applications and services on Windows Azure, as well as take advantage of the other Windows Azure offerings like storage and management.
