Scott Seely has just published a new course: Migrating Internet Applications to Azure
Much of the work being done on Windows Azure involves moving existing applications and workloads. In this course, Scott looks at a typical application: management of claims for Customer Support. The application itself is a demo application, bare enough to demonstrate principles without getting students lost in the details of a real world customer support application. It starts out using SQL Server, Web Services, MSMQ, Windows Authentication, and IIS. Then much of the application is moved to Windows Azure by making use of Windows Azure SQL Database, Service Bus, the Access Control Service, and Windows Azure Web Sites. This course shows the planning and technologies that will get your applications from on premises into the cloud.
