This book was primarily written for SharePoint developers who are looking to expand their knowledge into the terrain of the cloud?specifically that of Windows Azure. This book was secondarily written to help Microsoft .NET Framework and ASP.NET developers understand how they can take advantage of Windows Azure and SharePoint together. The book tries not to delve too deeply into explanation of specific concepts and APIs; rather, it provides you with step-by-step code-centric examples in Microsoft Visual C# that walk you through various ways to achieve integration between SharePoint and Windows Azure.
