Mastering Windows Azure Application Development

Dmitry Yakovlev, Senior Vice President of DataArt, contributes a by-lined article to HPC in the Cloud, reviewing the existing cloud landscape and sharing his expert opinion on what .NET developers should focus on in order to master their skills in Windows Azure Application Development.
“In the years to come, cloud computing will take a substantial piece of the market from traditional deployment models. This implies growing demand for applications that can operate in a cloud environment, and for software engineers skilled in cloud computing technologies. Since commercial software development is driven by enterprises which prefer mainstream technologies, Amazon EC2 and Windows Azure are likely to be the two platforms of choice for software developers. Considering the fact that both platforms can host applications written in different programming languages, one should denote Java and .NET as primary development platforms for Amazon EC2 and Windows Azure respectively.”
Dmitry Stillermann: Dos and don’ts for building enterprise apps
4th January 2012
In his by-lined article for TabTimes, Dmitry Stillermann, Vice President of Capital Markets at DataArt, discusses dos and don’ts for developing tablet enterprise applications, outlining business considerations, platform advantages, security issues and implementation costs.
“When does it make sense to switch to a tablet in a business scenario? And how much should you spend?
For internal business processes, tablet applications provide the most value for the staff involved in many external meetings… I can make a firm statement: tablet development does not have to be costly, provided that you know what you’re doing.
Vendors, not being heavily constrained by any legacy compatibility considerations, have used all the best ideas that the software industry has come up with during the last decade. Development tools are unbelievably efficient and application programming interfaces (APIs) are well designed and documented. … Publishing, deploying and managing apps are less of a hassle than some will lead you to believe.”
