Global Azure Boot Camp 2015,Bhubaneshwar By MSDC , Odisha

This post is about one of our best experiences in a nutshell. This is about the 25th of April 2015 , Azure Boot Camp Bhubaneshwar by MSDC Odisha. The Azure bootcamp focuses on gathering real technical experts who deliver talks and demos on Windows Azure.




Session and Speakers


Ankit Mohanty  gave a talk on "About the community, Cloud, Azure, Mobile-first Cloud-first world" where he gave an intro to cloud computing and how its easy to set up a site in minutes with Azure. He talked about pricing and how cloud helps to minimize. It was nice to find that the audience took deep interest in understanding the basics of Azure to get a better idea on how the whole day would benefit them.


Tadit Dash started off with the second talk on Mobile Website Dev and this is where he showed how to use Azure and build cool webpages. The coolest part was when he was demoing how to host a website and connect it with Github to pull the resources and the mapping it with the Domain Name. Tadit took the same website which is [http://bhubaneswar.azurebootcamp.net/] and tweaked it by adding a new team member in the speaker listing!



Abhishek Sur took the third and the biggest session on Windows Azure Storage. In his session he focused on different ways how to store data in Azure and the security of data. He talked about how to use resources in proper manner by tuning CDN. He also explained Azure SQL and Blobs. He showed the codes for Azure Blobs and many more.

Pooja Baraskar  was one of the key focus people for today. She not only did an excellent job by giving a kickstarter to IoT but also showed people a pathway and a demo about how to proceed with IoT. She talked in depth about the Intel Galileo Gen 2 board which she used to connect with Visual Studio 2013 and Arduino. All of you can read more about it here.





The next up was Abhishek Nandy and he brought to life a whole new world of computing over the Cloud which is gesture computing . The gesture computing were mostly facinating because in the demo the camera could take 3D image of Abhishek's face on the screen! This was amazing and we can have a look as what that looked like. Machine learning was another beauty in actions as we saw how the things worked.                                                                        




Nirmal Hota  presented on Azure mobile Services and he explained the inherent concept of Front End and Back End. Also, he showed how to build X Platform apps with Xamarin and much more.He is also the App Developer , who developed the app of Azure Bootcamp Bhubaneshwar.He also talked about code being reused in a mass scale.

Sumantro Mukherjee presented on how to Backup and Restore and much more. He explained the work of Upgrade Domains and Fault Domains and also how the Backup of data takes place. He also talked about Fabric Controller and he finally concluded by how the game changes when you put all the hopes on Azure !
