Programming - .NET and Cloud Computing example source code

There are three ways of taking advantage of this idea of cloud computing: data completely in the cloud, local applications that utilize some data in the clouds with some local, and being your own cloud where you provide the local data from your device to a service.

With mobile devices now gaining better browsers, broadband-like speeds, and the services to tie these together, it's a good idea to take a look at the advantages and what is possible, with this is mind, we can create a Cloud for our own use. Expose its interfaces to different bindings and thus, build applications which reside online to access amd manipulate the data as well as on a local machine to modify the data, serialise it, then sync it whenever it has access to the Internet.

For this example, we will be using Silverlight 2.2 beta, WCF, WPF and POW (plain old wap).

You will need Visual Studio 2008 and the beta tools for Silverlight.
