Topic: The Service Bus in the Sky – Connect Applications across Firewalls with Windows Azure
Level: Intermediate-Advanced
Abstract: Have you ever needed to connect two applications that are running inside different firewalls? Perhaps the applications are in different data centers within the same organization, or perhaps one end is in your customers’ or suppliers’ data centers. Maybe you even want to write a massively multiplayer game like World of Warcraft, but you don’t want to create your own server infrastructure to support it. You can solve this problem using cloud services, even if the application runs on your own machines. In this session, we’ll implement an online chat tool that works across multiple networks using Windows Azure AppFabric service bus. Most of the session will be spent building the code for the chat tool.
