[tuoshin537]

1 of Microsoft;s essential promises for Azure, its cloud computing platform, was that it wouldn;t be a Windows/.Net-only affair.Positive,Windows 7 Home Premium, the Azure working technique could be constructed on leading of Windows Server. However the Azure services platform would incorporate assistance for non-Microsoft development tools and platforms,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, the Softies promised last drop. Unlike Google App Engine, which at present is really a Python-developer;s dream platform — but holds less appeal for those preferring other languages — Azure would support Java, Ruby and PHP, and possibly other languages, Microsoft officials promised.The PHP support for Azure took a step forward on July 7, with the release of the July PHP software advancement kit (SDK). Microsoft announced its PHP support plans for Azure back in May,Windows 7 Professional, along with naming its partner, RealDolmen.According to a new posting to the “Interoperability@Microsoft” blog,Windows 7 Pro, Microsoft team member Vijay Rajagopalan said:“There are two important activities that I am excited about in this (July) release:oSubmission of PHP SDK for Windows Azure to Zend Framework
oFeature completion of Windows Azure Table Storage APIs in PHP”(Thanks to Microsoft evangelist Anand Iyer for the PHP pointer.)A “summer” CTP of the Java SDK for Azure, being developed by Schakra and funded by Microsoft is on the roadmap. No updated word as to whether this will be available in July,Office 2007 Key, as well. Update (July 8): Microsoft did release on July 7 an update to the Java SDK for Azure, and also has released a July update for the Ruby SDK, Principal Architect for Interoperability Rajagopalan told me today.Meanwhile, Microsoft also made available for download on July 7 the July Community Technology Preview (CTP) of .Net Providers, one of the main components of the Azure platform. The July test build includes the Access Control Service and the Service Bus; it doesn;t consist of workflow companies, which are being removed in order to allow Microsoft to sync the different versions of .Net in Azure and Visual Studio 2010. The July .Net Services CTP also works with the Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) build.(Thanks to .Net Companies team member Clemens Vasters for the July .Net Solutions CTP link.)Microsoft is on tap to outline Azure pricing and licensing terms at its Worldwide Partner Conference, which kicks off on July 13.
