Hi Guys,

As we all know Microsoft came up with the Windows Azure platform. I want to know is that do we'll need to work(learn) on Azure platform to make cloud based application or we can also do the same with the dot net.

If not then I think Dot net will be surppressed by this Platform or Microsoft will do it.

Thanks

Seems you have mixed up things .NET and Azure platform can't be replaced by each other. The Windows Azure platform is a set of cloud computing services that can be used together or independently. For developer it gives ability to develop cloud applications and you need .NET for that. So they work together and are not targeted to replace each other. Those 2 are completely different things.

Windows Azure includes .Net 3.5/4.0 as part of the platform, but it is not a requirement to use .Net. Pretty much every language/runtime that works on Windows Server 2008 can be run on Azure.
