Dear Azurenaut,

As you have attended or shown interests in the SoCal Microsoft Azure User Group in past, I wanted to let you know about our upcoming user group meetings on May 26.

This time It's all about PaaS I am delighted to bring two of my fellow MVPs, Rob and Sam to the group. Both are well known in the Industry for their proven track record of being community leaders on different Microsoft technologies like ASP.net/IIS, Azure & Windows Embedded / IOT, Big Data. Having them in house is great, having them inhouse both at same time is really like having stars aligned. Despite his tight schedule and distance being a challenge Rob has accepted our invitation and is flying-in from Arizona to speak with you. Sam although local has a really tight schedule too with his engagement with IOT and other teams, his community engagement at multiple levels. Sam has also graciously accepted the invitation and is going to be speaking as well. So don’t miss this exciting opportunity to come learn, ask questions and network with your local MVPs, customers and other Azurenauts of the SoCal Microsoft Azure community at the Microsoft Store in Costa Mesa from 6-9pm on May 26th

Azure Enabled IOT Development by Samuel Phung (MVP)

With Microsoft’s intense investment, development and support, as the cloud computing market place continue its rapidly growth, Azure has become the highly preferred cloud computing platform. One of the key factors that drive the cloud computing market’s rapid growth is Big Data.

There are credible research and study that indicate there were already more data generated by connected devices than human back in 2008. As the number of IoT devices continue to growth at rapid pace, there will be far more data generated by connected devices than human. As we continue to learn and realize more business value contributed by big data, it’s important for Azure developer and implementer to know and understand the impact from device generated data.

Business analysts from key enterprise and financial institution, such as Cisco General Electric, Goldman Sachs, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and etc. projected there will be more than 50 Billion connected devices by the year 2020, five years from now, which can potentially contribute more than $17 Trillion dollar into the Global GDP, over the next 20 years. Whatever the actual number may be, it’s going to be a humongous one.

Note: The Internet-of-Things market trend is already happening.

Although the IoT market wave is huge, it’s not triggered by new technology or invention, such as the discovery of the transistor triggered the electronic era which lead to the computer industry. The IoT market trend is triggered by new thinking and approach to use existing technology, where we realized and able to harvest tremendous value from smart and connected devices that can interact with data, intelligently. Although the term Internet-of-Things has been around for 10+ years, the IoT environment is still premature with lots of room for improvement, which mean there are lots of opportunity as the IoT market continue to evolve

A typical IoT solution involves multiple technical concerns. For this presentation, we will take a look at the development environment for IoT and go over some of the development concerns:

· What and where are the opportunities for developer?

· Azure Enabled IoT development

· Windows 10 for IoT

Azure Websites: More than just a webhost by Rob Richardson (MVP)

https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/133768144/robrichardson.jpg

Come join us for a demo-laden discussion of Azure Websites. We'll publish a new website and database, git deploy the site, customize deployment to run tests, add a custom domain name and ssl, add a supporting service as a web job, and add Azure queues to communicate between the site and the service. Whether experienced in Azure or new to the cloud platform, you'll see the simplicity, power, and elegance of Azure Websites.
