What does cloud computing got to do with iOS, android or WP7 mobile applications, social networking campaign, digital signage and large interactive touch display panel such as Microsoft Surface? Imaging the scenario where you launch a marketing campaign and suddenly see a surge of visitors using your application. Well done mate! oh wait up…..what is it that you say? your server is down and out because it can’t handle the load?…..my heart is with you dude, maybe next time, try cloud computing :) ...

I heard about Umbraco during MIX11 and was recently reminded of it when I was doing my research on CMS for Azure. What I really like was the availability of an Azure accelerator that allows you to setup Umbraco on Azure easily. Well, I’m not too sure if its just me, but the setup process wasn’t really smooth sailing, so I thought it will be helpful to share my experiences and hopefully it will help you guys who encounter similar road blocks. I highly recommend you watch this video from MIX11 to preview the entire setup process. Go on, I’ll be waiting right here when you are done ;) Welcome back, time to start cracking, download the following: ...

This is a quick post on a simple project demonstrating how you can pass Kinect sensor values to Windows Phone 7 Mango using nodejs. This was inspired by this concept video. (Thanks to Oren for helping me out with me error on the localhost thing in getting node and WP7 to communicate with each other) Steps 1. Install NITE/PrimeSense as described in this post. This will ensure that our Kinect setup is working. This will also have the c++ source code that we will modify later (Don’t worry, no coding required). ...

The guys from Microsoft Redmond put together a code project that illustrate how to build multi-tenancy Azure applications. Below is an abstract of the project, “The Cloud Ninja Project is a Windows Azure multi-tenant sample application demonstrating metering and automated scaling concepts, as well as some common multi-tenant features such as automated provisioning and federated identity. This sample was developed by the Azure Incubation Team in the Developer & Platform Evangelism group at Microsoft in collaboration with Full Scale 180. One of the primary goals throughout the project was to keep the code simple and easy to follow, making it easy for anyone looking through the application to follow the logic without having to spend a great deal of time trying to determine what’s being called or have to install and debug to understand the logic.” ...
