Taste of Chicago Chooses Windows Azure

by Steve Marx via blog.smarx.com - developing for the new web on 6/18/2009 10:36:06 PM

Faced with this challenge, West Monroe Partners built the map experience itself using Silverlight and Deep Zoom, created an alerts system using Windows Live Alerts, and deployed the entire application to Windows Azure.  You can play with the interactive map at http://tasteofchicago0 ...

Type Coercion with Windows Azure Tables, and the Twitpocalypse

Today I read some news about the pending Twitpocalypse.  If you haven’t heard, Twitter is rapidly approaching a rollover point (much like the Y2K scare) where status IDs will reach values higher than what can be stored in a 32-bit signed integer.  The worry is that Twitter clients are storing status IDs in 32-bit integers and will malfunction when the rollover happens. One of my projects, Botomatic, is actually broken in this way.  I rolled my own Twitter API client, and I parsed ...

Sample Code for Batch Transactions in Windows Azure Tables

by Steve Marx via blog.smarx.com - developing for the new web on 6/5/2009 6:46:12 PM

As a follow-up to my earlier post about the new blob storage features, in this post, I’ll show you how to take advantage of the entity group transactions functionality that was recently rolled out to Windows Azure tables.
