uild is starting to pick up and today was actually packed with Windows Azure actions. The keynote had a couple of cool announcements and a couple of extremely cool hidden jams. The keynote was led by Satya Nadella. The first thing that caught my eye was a slid showing strategic Windows Azure based operations. One logo belonged to my good friends PlayMyTone and it's a good opportunity to congratulate Ohad and the gang for the great job they have been doing. Satya Nadella (Photography by Bnaya...

So without farther ado here are the events that have been keeping me busy lately: The first thing in my very busy calendar is the Windows Azure/Web Developers Communities Holidays special which is going to take place in the Microsoft R&D center in Herzliyya...
One of my favorite jams of windows azure is the use of the diagnostics.wadwcg file for setting up windows azure diagnostics. This is a great alternative for configuring the The Windows Azure diagnostics infrastructure in code. Last week I had an issue working on a customer deployment where I just could not get trace logs using the diagnostics.wadcfg configuration. I was getting the Windows Event Logs that was also configured just fine, but for some reason the trace logs would just not come through...

The Asynchronous Queuing Pattern describes a classic way to improve service throughput in distributed applications. Over the years I have seen quite a few implementations of this pattern, from the use of MSMQ to ReactiveQueue , each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

With the above attributes, queue storage is a natural choice for enabling the Asynchronous Queuing...
