I would like to explore the azure platform and create applications which make use of azure. So i searched for a tutorial which told me to first create an account, yet my country is NOT AVAILABLE so I cannot create an account! Is there any way in which I can still develop applications using azure platform? Is it true there’s some form of emulator?
Can anyone be kind enough to give me a few starting links because I have no fundamental skills in this area?
Thanks very much!
When you install the tools + SDK, you’ll get a local runtime that emulates compute and storage (storage is actually stored in a local SQL instance, defaulting to SQL Express). You can use SQL Server or SQL Azure for local database simulation. The things you don’t get are ACS, Service Bus, and Cache (and maybe something else I’m missing 🙂 ). Check out this link for differences between real storage and simulated storage, and this link for Compute differences.
