Larry Beall: PHP & ASP.NET » General http://larrybeall.net Who'da thunk it... Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:56:15 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Been a while… http://larrybeall.net/2011/02/23/been-a-while/ http://larrybeall.net/2011/02/23/been-a-while/#comments Wed, 23 Feb 2011 16:53:26 +0000 Larry Beall http://larrybeall.net/2011/02/23/been-a-while/ So life has been crazy for me over the last year and a half.  Apparently holding down a demanding job and having a child is hard work.  In either case it is time for me to start making some time for writing again. 

Very shortly I will be starting a series on working with PHP on Windows Azure.  I will start off by explaining how to get PHP running in Azure using Full-IIS mode.  I know there is another article out that explains this, but my approach is slightly different as it does not require using Web PI for the PHP install.  Next up is setting up your development environment to work with Azure for development and testing.  I will be using Zend Studio for this, but it should be easily translated to any Eclipse based IDE.  From there I will move on to talking about the good stuff, code.  For this I will be building a Photo Gallery using Zend Framework.  In this I will show you how to write a web role to work with table and blob storage as well as using a worker role to work with Azure queues.  All of this is leading to a speaking engagement in July, more information on this and other speaking engagements coming soon.

I have several posts planned for the next few days/weeks. First post will go up shortly covering the launch of our new automated pattern: MVC4WPF.  I have recently seen the pattern best described as a hybrid of MVC and PAC with a ton of automation built for VisualStudio to make programming WPF applications much quicker.  Up next will be an article that will describe the fun that I had while converting the ASP.NET MVC based CMS application I wrote for the MVC4WPF website from a SQL backed traditionally hosted web application to a fully Azure Cloud hosted application.  From there we get I’m going to put my PHP hat on and talk about writing a PHP application for the Azure Cloud.  These will probably take me about a week or so to get completed and posted, but they should just be the tip of the iceberg from me.  Keep watching to see what I come up with.
