Future Scope
What is future scope of windows azure... and can it implement in and for villages. if yes, then how to learn it and trained human resources and how much cost it.

As cloud noise in IT sector is increasing, My opinion is to make it flexible (Cost wise and infrastructure wise) and should available easily.
Thank-you note!
This an excellent article to get my feet going into the direction of new paradigm Windows Azure platform to develop cloud enabled  .NET application development.

I'm sure all the MS .NET Developer must enjoy the step by step procedure which explains the basics and how to get started...!!

Excellent article and some minor improvements proposed

This proved to be an excellent article for helping a Microsoft developer to transition into the cloud environment.  It focuses entirely on the changes between writing an application in dot net for traditional deployment and those steps which differ when developing and publishing to the cloud.

There were some small improvements possible which I would recommend:

1. Tell the user how long the walk-through is likely to take - I put off doing it because I hadn't realised how simple it would be.
2. Don't ask me to think of filenames and urls, provide some typical entries that I can adapt.  I now have .com stuck in the middle of my test URL!

Very well written piece and my thanks to the author for making this first step into cloud development so straightforward.

Also, if you deployed to the staging environment instead of production, the <urlprefix> will be a guid value assigned by Windows Azure. This would still be viewable in the DNS name property field, but it would not be the friendly name you provided when creating the deployment.
help to start

The URL is of the form http://<urlprefix>.cloudapp.net.

Within the Management Portal (http://windows.azure.com), you can get this URL from the Hosted Services view; click a Deployment and you will see the URL listed in the "DNS name" property field.
