Bruno is used to sleeping with his passport. As a former Microsoft Premier Field Engineer, he has traveled to distant locations to help customers with problem isolation and correction, live and post-mortem debugging, application design and code reviews, performance tuning (IIS, SQL Server, .NET), application stability, troubleshooting, porting / migration assistance, configuration management, pre-rollout testing and general development consulting. Starting with Turbo C in the late 80’s, Bruno has kept busy teaching and writing code in a multitude of platforms, languages, frameworks, SDKs, libraries, and APIs. He claims that he’d read and write code even if he won the lottery. He is excited about rich applications powering the web, and the technologies that are evolving, morphing and merging – currently Virtualization, SOA, Web 2.0 and SaaS applications, using Visual Studio as the glue to manage these diverse computer worlds. Bruno started his computing pursuits while getting his accounting and finance degree from UC Berkeley’s School of Business.

Bruno now works as a developer evangelist, focusing on new and emerging technologies. You can read more about him at www.brunoterkaly.com

This presentation addresses the architecture of Hybrid Cloud Applications, using the Service Bus, SQL Azure, Windows Azure, and on-premise applications. As a developer, what are the things you need to know to intelligently build scalable applications that are geographically dispersed, with parts of the applications residing on-premise, some in the cloud, often spanning multiple networks?

Big companies are now taking a close look at the cloud. Today’s developers need to be aware of what the cloud offers and more importantly how to architect applications that span both the cloud and on-premise scenarios.

This session will cover how you can leverage your existing code to take your applications to the next level. You will learn about how security is handled and how you can get 2 computers to communicate through different firewalls and NAT devices, a seemingly simple yet extremely difficult task. Other questions being answered are: (1) What are the limits of SQL Azure and when should Azure Table Objects be used? (2) How does Access Control work with the Service Bus and what is the AppFabric? (3) What role does the Microsoft Windows Azure Platform Web Portal play? (4) How do you run web facing portals versus background asynchronous processing? (5) How would you migrate the famous "Dinner Now" application and port it to the cloud? (6) What is SQL Azure and how does it work?
