Cloud Computing Videos

Yousef Khalidi is a Distinguished Engineer with a rich history in both operating system design and distributed computing. Yousef is responsible for the overall design of Windows Azure, Microsoft's cloud operating system (which includes the Azure development platform in addition to the "OS", aka Windows Azure). Windows Azure is an operating system in the sense that it supplies a host of core services, process scheduling and management, identity management, etc, that we typically expect from a general purpose operating system. In this first installment of C9 Conversations (we sit down with various Microsoft technical leaders to discuss a wide range of topics related to general purpose computing; all in high quality video and audio (big thanks to Tina Summerford for producing this new series)), the topic is cloud computing. What is it, exactly? Why does it matter? What are the challenges involved in taking software to the cloud? What does that mean, exactly? Is Windows Azure an operating system by analogy? What is Windows Azure, exactly? And more.. Yousef will be presenting his ideas on cloud computing and its future at PDC09 as part of the Technical Leaders track. Make sure to attend his talk if you're interested in how Microsoft thinks about the future of cloud computing.

Interview with Ed Lin, the business development manager at MaxMind, about GeoIP IP Geolocation Technology. Taking a look at Ubuntu 9.10 and a glimpse at Ubuntu One cloud software on Karmic Koala.

Patrick Chanezon, a developer advocate at Google, travels the world studying what developers are doing with the latest Web technologies. We interviewed Chanezon in the real Building 43, the main building at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., about HTML5 and other bleeding-edge technologies. HTML5 is the next major revision for hypertext markup language. While work on HTML5 began in 2004 and is not expected to be "completed" for many years, adoption of parts of it into browsers began months ago and has been accelerating. "HTML5 is essentially a movement around an open standard by many browser vendors to bring capabilities (to) the browser that were available only to desktop apps before," says Chanezon. Those new capabilities mean that such things as desktop plug-ins that have been required for video and audio will be built into browsers, he says. "So what happens right now is that developers are going to start building these much richer apps that would have been built for the desktop 20 years ago . . . as Web apps," says Chanezon. Change also is coming for mobile devices, he says in the video. "So, I'm interested to see how the mobile world is going to evolve towards this Web development model."

Presented at the Swedish BizTalk User Group meeting September 16th 2009 in Stockholm. Session 1 of 2: In this session we will discuss the continued relevance of SOA and how to apply SOA principles when designing and exposing services from BizTalk Server. Richard Seroter is a solutions architect for an industry-leading biotechnology company, a Microsoft MVP for BizTalk Server, and a Microsoft Connected Technology Advisor. He has spent the majority of his career consulting with customers as they planned and implemented their enterprise software solutions. Richard worked first for two global IT consulting firms, which gave him exposure to a diverse range of industries, technologies, and business challenges. Richard then joined Microsoft as a SOA/BPM technology specialist where his sole objective was to educate and collaborate with customers as they considered, designed, and architected BizTalk solutions. One of those customers liked him enough to bring him onboard full time as an architect after they committed to using BizTalk Server as their enterprise service bus. Once the BizTalk environment was successfully established, Richard transitioned into a solutions architect role where he now helps identify enterprise best practices and applies good architectural principles to a wide set of IT initiatives. Richard maintains a semi-popular blog of his exploits, pitfalls, and musings with BizTalk Server, SOA and enterprise architecture at http://seroter.wordpress.com/.
