The world's greatest Azure demoThis video is part of a blog post at: http://www.troyhunt.com/2014/03/the-worlds-greatest-azure-demo.html
I do a lot of demos. I write a lot of blog posts. Thing is though, none of them really sell the whole Azure picture; the BIG picture.
The superdemo was designed to cover as much as possible in one hour. (Ok, it wouldn't all fit in an hour so you get an hour twenty something.) It's the demo for people who don't quite know what this Azure thing is and probably aren't quite up to speed on the whole cloud idea either.
This is an hour and a bit of barely-edited "making real stuff happen" back-to-back demos of the important things you need to understand about websites, VMs and SQL Azure.
Microsoft Azure OverviewThis video provides a comprehensive but brief overview of Microsoft Azure for research scientists. You will learn cloud computing basics, patterns and terminology, and the fundamentals of Microsoft Azure itself, including virtual machines, web sites, cloud services, and building blocks for applications. We also introduce typical patterns of design for research scientists to use the cloud.
