Since returning from Europe a couple of weeks ago, I've been asked if my presentations were recorded, especially for the demos shown.  A number of events did record the session, and I'm sure they will be making these available soon, but in meantime I have put together screencasts for each of my demos. 

The first screencast shows a small application called PrimeSolvr, which was created by a couple of colleagues – Wade Wegner and Larry Clarkin.  PrimeSolvr is a simple application that solves prime numbers, running on a 25 node instance using Windows Azure.

The second screencast focuses on multi tenancy and shows handling data and UI for multi-tenant applications using ASP.NET MVC, which could then be uploaded the cloud.  The demo was inspired by Maarten Balliauw, a Microsoft MVP in Belgium who created a routing mechanism for ASP.NET that uses the domain name.

The third screencast, and demo, is a simple implementation of MapReduce running on Windows Azure.  The demo is run locally to demonstrate logging in the fabric, and shows how a MapReduce-like application can run on Windows Azure.

The fourth and final screencast looks at communication using the cloud, specifically using the .NET Service Bus. Instead of exchanging "hello world" type messages, I actually show how the service bus can be used to do protocol mapping between two machines – I think this demonstrates some of the more interesting applications that using the cloud can enable.  In this demo I connect to an instance of SQL Server running on a remote machine using the .NET Service Bus.

Update:  Updated the screencast links (now moved to Azure blob storage from Silverlight streaming)
