This course introduces ASP.NET web developers to the rationale and implementation details of highly-scalable web applications. The scalable applications have to be architected to avoid bottlenecks, single points of failure, and synchronous couplings. This course will show how Azure cloud helps web developers by providing several platform characteristics that allow for building scalability without having to start from scratch.
