Aaron Stannard Presenting “Building Node.JS Applications on Windows Azure” @ #NodePDX

This is the tenth in a series of posts about the individual speakers lined up for…

Aaron is coming at us from southern California, but don’t hold that against him. He’s going to shed some light on the Windows Azure support around Node.js. Yup, you read that right, Microsoft is all googly over open source these days. Aaron describes his presentation thus:

Microsoft is moving towards making Windows Azure a PaaS cloud capable of hosting applications of any shape, size, framework, and programming language, and Node.JS is one of the first non-.NET technologies we’ve made a first-class citizen on Windows Azure.

In this talk you’ll get a brief overview of Windows Azure itself, iisnode, and what the dev / test / production lifecycle looks like for Node.JS applications built for Windows Azure.

If you’d like to come and check out this presentation and the other kick ass presentations lined up, get involved in some coding, hear what Node.js is all about, or just hang out please RSVP and get the event on your calendar! Besides, what better reason to come visit the amazing city of Portland, Oregon than to come hack some node.js and chill for the weekend!
