It is intended to help you move from the traditional, unstructured logging approach (such as that offered by the Logging Application Block or log4net) towards the semantic logging approach that improves the consistency of the logs and simplifies significantly their consumption and automatic processing.

The Semantic Logging Application Block enables you to use the EventSource class and semantic log messages in your applications without moving away from the log formats you are familiar with (flat files, databases, Windows Azure table storage etc). Importantly, you do not need to commit to how you consume events when developing business logic; you have a unified application-specific API for logging and then you can decide later whether you want those events to go to ETW or alternative destinations.

In this tutorial, we demonstrate the Semantic Logging Application Block in action. We also showcase the out-of-proc service to help reduce the logging overhead in your applications and improve fault tolerance of the logging process.

However long-running tasks don't
play very well with the HTTP request-response paradigm. In this episode we'll
go through a very simple pattern: Request-Acknowledge-Push that enables a
simple, efficient, and scalable way of dealing with long running tasks.

You'll need to update both Web Role configuration and Worker Role configuraiton to use your own Service Bus namespace.

As developers, you have the power to save power! This is important to realize as we enter the cloud era. Your bosses will be quite pleased if you do your best to not only make sure your code is as efficient as possible, but that the monthly bills from your company's cloud providers are as low as possible. Smiley We live in a new age. This is a very important topic.

In this developer-focused discussion, Mark Aggar, Senior Director of IT Environmental Sustainability at Microsoft (You've met him before), and Grigori Melnik, Program Manager in the Patterns and Practices group, share insights and recommendations about building energy efficient applications for the cloud. 

Grigori's team has made WASABI—an autoscaling application block for Windows Azure. If you're a Windows Azure developer, you should most definitely download this application block and try it out. It could literally save you money.

This scenario  focuses on how to implement single sign-on and single sign-off within a security domain as a preparation for sharing resources with other security domains, and how to migrate applications to Microsoft® Windows® Azure. In short, this scenario contains the commonly used elements that will appear in all claims-aware applications.

We are thrilled to announce the availability of early drafts. Check out the CodePlex project site at http://claimsid.codeplex.com.

In this video, Eugenio Pace gives an overview of this project and the scenarios that are covered in this guide. This guide will introduce you to “claims-based” identity, a set of ideas and tools that may make it easier for you to build features like autorization, authentication and personalization into your apps in a more flexible way. In this guide, we’ll introduce some concepts that may sound new: claims, federated identity, and much more.

]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/akMSFT/pp-Claims-based-Identity--Access-Control-Guide--Early-drafts-available A team led by Eugenio Pace at p&p has been busy working on the Claims based Identity and Access Control guide. We are thrilled to announce the availability of early drafts. Check out the CodePlex project site at http://claimsid.codeplex.com.In this video, Eugenio Pace gives an overview of this project and the scenarios that are covered in this guide. This guide will introduce you to “claims-based” identity, a set of ideas and tools that may make it easier for you to build features like autorization, authentication and personalization into your apps in a more flexible way. In this guide, we’ll introduce some concepts that may sound new: claims, federated identity, and much more.
