Learning Windows Azure

I will be learning windows azure in the next few days and I will be documenting the same in this blog.

I will be learning Azure by building a sample application. The application requirement:

“The application will allow users to register / login using facebook /google/ live Ids. Registered users will be able to view movies, They will also be able to add movies, for each added movie they will get a credit. The users will be able to view the credit balance.”

The technical requirements for the same are :

• Use Rest implementation for the service

• Use Appfabric & ACS for security

• Use off the shelf implementation process for facebook, google, & live id authentication

• Show how scalability can be achieved.

• Use Sql Azure for storage.

I will be hosting the source first in codeplex using SVN, I will slowly be moving this to github. The project is hosted here.
