A Case Study in Building for Today’s Web - Kentico CMS

Please NOTE: This meeting will be held at Waltham and not at NERD, Cambridge.

In this special event, the http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/5/6/2/event_55678722.jpegBoston Azure User Group is combining forces with both the Boston .NET Architecture Study Group and the New England ASP.NET Professionals Group to host this talk from Thom Robbins.

Abstract: Building software is a set of smart choices to meet the needs of your customers and the possibilities of technology. Today’s Web demands that customers have a choice in how they deploy their applications. With over 7,000 websites in 84 countries, Kentico CMS for ASP.Net is delivered as a single code base for use as a cloud, hosted, or on-premise solution. With over 34 out of the box modules and everything built on a SQL Server backend – How did we do it? What tradeoffs did we make? In this session we will answer that question and look at how to build a rich and compelling website using Windows Azure Cloud.

(Note: for those in the Boston Azure community who are not yet on Meetup.com, please do join as we are migrating our event RSVP process here.
