The patterns & practices team has been working on developing Azure architecture guidance. We’re happy to announce that first round of guidance is now available to public at https://github.com/mspnp/azure-guidance. The purpose of this project is to provide architectural guidance to enable developers to build and deploy world-class systems using Azure.
Abstract:
Jerry Nixon welcomes Sr. Technology Specialist from the Windows Azure team, Buck Woody to the show as they kick-off their 3 part series on how data applies to developers and how this ties in with Windows Azure’s service offerings. Tune in for part 1 of this 3 part series as they discuss data modeling and how this should be used first in the design process.

My handsome colleague, Bruno Terkaly, is up all night in California with a brand new baby – and he is using that time to help show Android developers how they can use Windows Azure Mobile Services as the back-end data store for their mobile applications. In this 4 part series, Bruno goes step-by-step to show developers the right way to do the right thing. 
Client-side developers do need to embrace the cloud. The increasing popularity of connected devices like tablet computers and smartphones is having a direct effect on the adoption rate of personal cloud services. You can expect both connected devices and cloud services to grow together.
WPNS is the similar service for Windows Phone applications. WNS is specifically for Windows 8 metro style applications.
WNS pushes Toasts, Tiles and Badges. The best example of toasts is Skype toast indicating an incoming call. The best example of tiles is Weather showing current conditions. The best example of badges is Email showing your unread count. Each of these allows you to deliver value to users. None of these require your application to be running.
