Microsoft Azure MVP, Eric D. Boyd will walk you through what Microsoft Azure Web Sites is all about.

Do you develop web applications and services using Classic ASP, ASP.NET, PHP or Node.js? If the answer is yes, you should get acquainted with Windows Azure Web Sites.

In this session, Microsoft Azure MVP, Eric D. Boyd will walk you through what Microsoft Azure Web Sites is all about, and it's not your father's Azure. If you've been scared away from Azure by the complexity of Azure Cloud Services, Web and Worker roles, and all the complex PaaS talk, don't fear. Microsoft Azure Web Sites removes all of this complexity and simplifies the cloud for the web developer. And you still get all of the benefits of self-service, elastic, economy of scale cloud services.

  • Get started with Microsoft Azure Web Sites
  • Setup WordPress and another web applications in minutes
  • Deploy your own applications on-demand using FTP, Web Deploy and Command Line Interfaces
