SharePoint has taken business by storm and developers want to take their collaborative applications built on this platform to the cloud! This book arrives right on time to fill this demand, giving you the conceptual approach and hands-on guidance to extend SharePoint in the cloud and take advantage of this powerful, accessible, next-generation cloud collaboration platform.
Microsoft SharePoint and Windows Azure are two sizeable platforms unto themselves. SharePoint is one of Microsofts leading server productivity platformsa collaborative platform for the enterprise and the web. Windows Azure is Microsofts operating system in the cloud. Separately, they have their own strengths, market viability, and developer following. Together, they are very powerful. For example, together they expand how and where you can deploy your code and data; they offer more opportunities to take advantage of the Windows Azure metered usage model while at the same time reducing the storage and failover costs of on-premises applications; using Windows Azure, you can move code off of your SharePoint servers; and they provide new business models and offerings that you can take to your customers to increase your own solution offerings. In short, there are interesting and compelling reasons to bring these two platforms together.
In this book, youll get introductory, hands-on experience with integrating SharePoint and Windows Azure. These integrations range from the simple (such as data integration with Windows Azure Marketplace DataMarket and Excel Services) to the more complex (such as using the Windows Azure AppFabric service bus to connect remote Windows Phone 7 devices (as well as other devices and languages) to SharePoint on-premises data). The underlying goal of the book, though, is to provide a prescriptive and introductory guide through some fundamental methods of integration.
This book was primarily written for SharePoint developers who are looking to expand their knowledge into the terrain of the cloudspecifically that of Windows Azure. This book was secondarily written to help Microsoft .NET Framework and ASP.NET developers understand how they can take advantage of Windows Azure and SharePoint together. The book tries not to delve too deeply into explanation of specific concepts and APIs; rather, it provides you with step-by-step code-centric examples in Microsoft Visual C# that walk you through various ways to achieve integration between SharePoint and Windows Azure.
There are also some great resources that you can download as supplementary guidance and practical samples:

As you work through the book, you can also refer to the Additional References sections at the end of each chapter for other sources relevant to the chapters topics.
This book expects that you have at least a minimal understanding of .NET Framework development and object-oriented programming concepts. This book also assumes that you have a basic understanding of SharePoint 2010 and perhaps have even written some code for SharePoint. Also, this book includes examples in C# only. If you have not yet picked up C#, you might consider reading John Sharps Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Step by Step (Microsoft Press, 2010).
Given that the backdrop against which this book was written is cloud computing, it might also help if you have some understanding of what cloud computing is and how you go about building applications for the cloud.
Not every book is aimed at every possible audience. If you dont have a solid familiarity with .NET Framework development in C#, you should brush up on the .NET Framework, the C# language, and web development concepts before tackling this book.
Although this book is introductory in nature, it covers the integration of two hefty platforms with extensive capabilities and is more practical as opposed to theoretical. So if youre not comfortable just jumping in and trying things out, you might want to consult a beginning book on either topic. A good introduction to SharePoint is Beginning SharePoint 2010 Development by Steve Fox (Wrox, 2010); and for Windows Azure, Programming Windows Azure by Sriram Krishnan (OReilly, 2010).
This book is divided into 10 chapters.
Each chapter provides exercises that range from simple to complex, with the more complex topics towards the end of the book.
Within each chapter, you will find three or four examples; most have downloadable code that accompanies the example (see the section later in this Introduction).
This book presents information by using conventions designed to make the information readable and easy to follow.
Each exercise consists of a series of tasks, presented as numbered steps (1, 2, and so on) listing each action that you must take to complete the exercise.
Boxed elements with labels such as Note provide additional information or alternative methods for completing a step successfully.
Text that you type appears in bold.
A plus sign (+) between two key names means that you must press those keys at the same time. For example, Press Alt+Tab means that you hold down the Alt key while you press the Tab key.
A vertical bar between two or more menu items (such as File | Close), means that you should select the first menu or menu item, then the next, and so on.
You will need the following software to complete the practice exercises in this book:
A Windows 64-bitcompliant operating system (preferably Windows Server 2008 R2, but you could use Windows 7)
