Session
I
attended a great session today by Kirk Evans on using Windows Azure
"Platform as a Service" features to build SharePoint Apps. Most of it was live demos, which is hard to
take notes on, but here are a few random notes.
See the bottom for a link to his blog.
- When building apps, you are not building them for just 1 customer - you are building it for multiple customers and it will need to scale
- Install the Azure SDK in Visual Studio - you get a new Azure node in the project tree
- Azure Web Sites - can access through the Azure node in Visual Studio
- Can get failed event tracing from here
- Remote debugging supported in Azure Management Portal
- Download Publish Profile - same as web deploy
- Right click on project, select Publish
- Asks for a profile
- Important concepts to know:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Generated in Azure - save them
- These values get inserted into web.config as part of web deploy process
- When deploying to Azure, must use HTTPS
- App Packaging - during packaging process you must select if you trust the app or not, and what operations is it allowed to perform (read, write, etc.)
- When deploying SharePoint App to Azure, you can choose the web site mode and how to scale the site as load increases

Great session!
IEEE Project Domain management in software engineering is distinct from traditional project deveopment in that software projects have a unique lifecycle process that requires multiple rounds of testing, updating, and faculty feedback. A IEEE Domain project Final Year Projects for CSE system development life cycle is essentially a phased project model that defines the organizational constraints of a large-scale systems project. The methods used in a IEEE DOmain Project systems development life cycle strategy Project Centers in India provide clearly defined phases of work to plan, design, test, deploy, and maintain information systems.
ReplyDeleteThis is enough for me. I want to write software that anyone can use, and virtually everyone who has an internet connected device with a screen can use apps written in JavaScript. JavaScript Training in Chennai JavaScript was used for little more than mouse hover animations and little calculations to make static websites feel more interactive. Let’s assume 90% of all websites using JavaScript use it in a trivial way. That still leaves 150 million substantial JavaScript Training in Chennai JavaScript applications.
