In this walkthrough and its accompanying sample, you’ll use C# and F# to start to develop web applications and cloud services that are hosted in Windows Azure. By following this walkthrough, you’ll get a web application, the WordGrid sample, running in Windows Azure as a cloud service. You can use that sample to explore how to integrate F# with a C# web application and, in general, how to use the power of F# in Windows Azure. The sample uses the ASP.NET Model View Controller (MVC) 4 framework, which provides a powerful and versatile library for web applications. |
Walkthrough: Creating an Internet Game with F#, C#, and Windows Azure |
By reviewing this topic and the sample that accompanies it, you’ll learn how to create a web application (in this case, a word game) by using F#, C#, ASP.NET Model-View-Controller (MVC), Windows Azure, and JavaScript. This topic demonstrates several useful coding techniques by explaining code excerpts from the WordGrid sample. You can build this sample as a web application and then run it locally or deploy it to Windows Azure as a cloud service. If you deploy it, players can access it from anywhere in the world by using their browsers. |
