Revisiting the Windows Azure “How Do I” videos
Posted by bill in Microsoft, Windows Azure on January 21, 2010
About a year ago I started posting “How Do I” videos on topics related to the Windows Azure Platform (of course, back then it was known as the “Azure Services Platform” and there were quite a few differences.) Needless to say, every one of these videos is now out-of-date because of the changes and improvements that Microsoft has made during a year of CTP testing.
I’ll be updating a number of these videos, starting with the following which have recently been posted to the msdev site:
- Windows Azure How To Guide: Getting Started Developing on Windows Azure
- Windows Azure How To Guide: Storing Blobs in Windows Azure Storage
The video on BlobStorage includes a demonstration app – you can download the source code here.
Cheers!

Just posted a 30-minute session on Windows Mobile 6.5 – if you’re new to Windows Mobile development and you want to get up to speed quickly, this is a good place to start! Here’s the link to the session:

This is actually the first in an eight-part series on WM6.5 that IT Mentors is doing for msdev. Oh, and you can download the demo that I used here (note that in order for this demo to work you’ll need to grab the managed code wrapper for Windows Mobile Gestures!)
