HoL: Intro to Azure and Azure Web Sites

This lab will kick off our series about Azure. We'll be using selected labs from the Azure Training Kit. This HoL will provide an intro to Azure, and we'll work with Azure Web Sites.

The Azure Training Kit can be downloaded at http://windowsazure-trainingkit.github.io

If you have an MSDN subscription, then great. You're already in position to take advantage of all Azure has to offer. If not, don't worry. You can still sign up for a free trial here http://www.azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/

You can host website in Azure with plethora of technologies, but since this is the .NET user group, we'll focus on mostly that tech stack. You can download the Azure SDK you find most appropriate for you at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/

Don't worry if you don't get all this setup prior, we'll take some time to ensure everyone is ready to go before we get started. We look forward to sharing you the newest feature
