Hi and welcome! Just wanted to introduce myself too -- I'm Seth and I work on the AppFabric documentation team. We're very interested in what you find useful (or what you think might be lacking) in the AppFabric documentation on MSDN. Looking forward to your comments!
Thanks,
Seth

To enable the new continuous deployment features we created a new build process template called AzureContinuousDeployment.11.xaml. This process template is added to your team projects when they are created. Because build process templates are added to projects at creation, your existing projects will not have the necessary template and if you try to connect your azure account to your existing projects your will get the following error.
Failed to link TFS project 'MS' with your web site 'Sprint31Website'
TF42073: The value cannot be null (Parameter name: Process)
To get around this you will need to add the AzureContinuousDeployment.11.xaml to any existing team project that you would like to deploy from.
To add the process template you need to:
Once that is done you can use the wizard to setup a continuous deployment build definition.
If you see a build error message "An attempted http request against URI https://management.core.windows.net:8443/... returned an error: (403) Forbidden.", then please see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2780289.

Folks,
The following issues have been reported by some of you and are being addressed by Windows Azure team. None of these issues affect the health of running mobile services or availability of your data. We apologize for the inconvenience these issues cause you as you develop your apps. The goal of this post is to simplify finding workarounds, as we address the issues.
ISSUE: Unable to edit scripts in the Windows Azure Portal - the spinner displays indefinitely
This is NOT for production code but will allow you to preview upcoming changes and comment in the forum.
Please start using the new libraries and let us know what you think!
Check out Johan's blog: http://www.johanlaanstra.nl/?p=217
and Carlos' breaking changes: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/carlosfigueira/archive/2013/03/14/azure-mobile-services-managed-client-upcoming-breaking-changes.aspx
Some gotcha's converting a phone 8 project:
Pay attention to the breaking changes section!
For instance add DataContract and DataMember to your class definition:
[DataContract] public class TodoItem { [DataMember] public int Id { get; set; } [DataMember(Name = "text")] public string Text { get; set; } [DataMember(Name = "complete")] public bool Complete { get; set; } }
and collection view now looks like this:
private async void RefreshTodoItems() { try { // This code refreshes the entries in the list view be querying the TodoItems table. // The query excludes completed TodoItems items = await todoTable .Where(todoItem => todoItem.Complete == false).ToCollectionAsync(); ListItems.ItemsSource = items; } catch (Exception theEx) { string str = theEx.Message; } }
To use MobileServiceIncrementalLoadingCollection in Windows Store apps (TodoItem sample):
Change Items to this:
private MobileServiceIncrementalLoadingCollection<TodoItem,TodoItem> items;
And then get then assign it to your member 'items' like this:
items = todoTable.Where(todoItem => todoItem.Complete == false) .ToIncrementalLoadingCollection(); ListItems.ItemsSource = items;

Hi folks,
We're investigating a bug related to international domain names. Use of unicode or punycode characters may cause your website to become inaccessible.
While we look into this issue, we recommend only using domain names with ASCII characters.
Thanks!

Hello,
Due to high demand of all types of reserved instances in EAST US data center and small instances in Europe, we are experiencing capacity issue every now and then. We are acting as fast as we can to meet the demand. We are also exploring other options to expand the capacity during the preview timeframe. Your business is very important to us and thanks ever so much for trying out windows azure websites.
Thanks,
Windows Azure Websites Team
NOTE: If you are new to Windows Azure Websites and have an option to deploy your site in Europe data center (when EAST US capacity is maxed out), please choose that option. If you have already created sites in EAST US then your workspace is rooted to that DC and you will not have an option to switch the DC at that time. This is know bug and will be fixed soon.
