Amazon Web Services for the .NET Developer
We've all heard about Amazon's S3 and EC2 platforms and we know that they are leaders in the cloud computing movement, but how accessible are they to the .NET developer? Come learn about the various SDKs, samples, and tools available to Microsoft Developer targeting the Amazon Cloud as well as tips and tricks for getting the most out of the platform.

Azure: Lessons From the Field
Come learn about Microsoft's Azure platform (and cloud computing in general) as we look at an application built to assist in the processing and publishing of large-scale scientific data. We will discuss architecture choices, benchmarking results, issues faced as well as the workarounds implemented. While your application may not be dealing with 35TB of numbers, this session will give you insight into the process of developing for the cloud, as well as tips and tricks to help you avoid some common pitfalls.

Panel on Cloud Applications - New Experiences and Expectations
We’re rushing towards pervasive, always-connected lives and augmented reality at breakneck speed, and the technology landscape is changing so fast we seldom take stock of how different our lives are – and how dependent we are on technology. Cloud computing is in its early days but holds the promise of powering the next step in the progression of human to computer interaction through the introduction of new applications and new interaction models. In this panel we’ll take a provocative look at some of the ways cloud application are changing our lives today and what the future of client plus cloud applications might hold.
Data and the Cloud: A Call for Improved Formats and Consistency in Data Services Supporting Scientific Research
A variety of cloud computing platforms are emerging and there exist increasing calls for research to be performed utilizing these platforms. While the computational paradigms are improving and the platforms are, in fact, becoming increasingly viable for such research, significant issues remain surrounding the usage and movement of data (specifically large data) within these environments. If cloud computing as a paradigm is to deliver on its promise of democratizing large-scale compute by serving as a natural extension of the scientific workstation, significant effort must be applied towards the issues of data locality, presentation, and interaction. This talk assumes a layman’s perspective as work is reviewed illustrating challenges encountered while attempting to move and interact with large-scale data (subsets of the CMIP3 archive) within the cloud as well as from workstations outside of the cloud. Also discussed are issues surrounding the schism that exists between data formats that would be considered “Internet friendly” and those used in a variety of scientific research and how these formats exacerbate the problems surrounding data movement.

Deployment and Packaging SharePoint solutions using TFS
Have you been using the VS Extensions for SharePoint to create SharePoint packages and found yourself wondering how best to integrate with your source control platform and build system? Consistent packaging of SharePoint solutions can be a challenge and is not for the faint of heart. Come to this session and learn how our team utilizes TFS, Team Build, SandCastle, SharePoint Installer, and STSDev in concert to produce consistent installation packages for our SharePoint/MOSS environment.
