More from PDC10:
Mohit Srivastava shows in a seminar how to run your existing applications on Windows Azure using two new and highly requested features: VM Role and Admin Mode.
He demonstrates best practices for building and uploading customised OS images, deploying and managing services using those images, and automating configuration using Admin Mode and the service model.
I got talking to a couple of developers recently who had been to this years PDC10 conference in Redmond. For them it is the conference highlight of the year and they get to geek out on all the latest developments.
Personally I’m not sure I’d forego WPC for PDC but it looked like there was some pretty cool stuff going on, particularly around Phone 7 app development.
In this video from the conference Scott Guthrie talks about the latest features being discussed, along with some of the major points from this year’s keynote speech.
