MSDN Webcast: Creating Cross-Firewall Connections with Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus (Level 300)
Wednesday, September 01, 2010 9:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)
Need to connect applications that are running inside different firewalls? Perhaps the applications are in different data centers within the same organization, or perhaps one of the applications is in your customer's data center. Maybe you want to write a massively multiplayer game like World of Warcraft but don't want to create your own server infrastructure to support it. You can solve these problems using cloud services, even if the application runs on your own machines.

MSDN Webcast: BenkoTips Live and On Demand: An Overview of SQL Azure for Developers (Level 200)
Wednesday, September 08, 2010 9:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)
Working with data is core to what we do as developers. With the release of the Microsoft SQL Azure Database cloud offering, developers have a new set of options and features that make it possible to take full advantage of the scalability and availability of this platform. In this webcast, we take a look at what SQL Azure means for developers and show how to create and manage a database in the cloud. We also explore the tools and the practices for using the tools.

MSDN Webcast: Developing for Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus (Level 300)
Wednesday, September 08, 2010 9:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)
In this webcast, we drill into some technical aspects of the Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus, including direct connections, message security, and the service registry. Although the simplest way to use Service Bus is as a message relay, you can improve performance by directly connecting between the client and the service if the firewalls permit. We review the steps that allow Service Bus to automatically promote your connections to direct connections to improve efficiency, share techniques for encrypting and protecting messages passing through the service bus, and take a look at ways to use the Service Bus as a registry to make your services discoverable.

MSDN Webcast: Windows Azure AppFabric: Soup to Nuts (Level 300)
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 9:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)
In this webcast, we demonstrate a web service that combines identity management via Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control with cross-firewall connectivity via Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus. We also discuss several possible architectures for services and sites that run both on-premises and in Windows Azure and take advantage of the features of Windows Azure AppFabric. In each case, we explain how the pay-as-you-go pricing model affects each application, and we provide strategies for migrating from an on-premises service-oriented architecture (SOA) to a Service Bus architecture.
