Node on Windows and Azure
This course provides an overview of using Node to access cloud resources as well as to build web applications that run in Windows and the Azure cloud.
What you'll learn
This course starts by running Node in an on-premises Windows environment. We then leverage cloud storage in Node: everything from basic queue, table and blob storage to advanced application logging and session management. We also integrate Node with Azure ServiceBus Queues, Topics and Subscriptions. Finally, we review how to deploy web applications to the Azure cloud both via the command line as well as using WebMatrix.
