Microsoft Azure to jedna z wielu platform chmurowych, które powstały w ciągu kilku ostatnich lat i zdobyły znaczącą pozycję na rynku usług IT w skali globalnej. Każda z tych platform oferuje gotowe do subskrypcji i użycia własne aplikacje chmurowe - usługi w modelu SaaS - a także dostęp do usług w modelach IaaS i PaaS. Platforma chmurowa Microsoft Azure zapewnia także usługi w każdym z trzech wymienionych modeli. Platforma Azure bardzo dynamicznie się rozwija. Oferuje coraz więcej specjalizowanych usług poczynając od, w różnym stopniu prekonfigurowanych, maszyn wirtualnych, poprzez usługi mobilne, multimedialne, integracyjne, aż po różne rodzaje usług danych, czy usługi wspierające przetwarzanie Big Data. W książce autorzy przedstawiają najpierw różne kategorie usług dostępnych w chmurze Azure. Następnie przechodzą do demonstracji praktycznego wykorzystania rozmaitych usług chmury Azure poprzez budowanie czterech "z życia wziętych" aplikacji. Pokazana została zarówno konfiguracja składników działających w chmurze, jak i tworzenie właściwego kodu. Dr inż. Zbigniew Fryźlewicz jest adiunktem w Katedrze Informatyki na Wydziale Informatyki i Zarządzania Politechniki Wrocławskiej. W działalności naukowej i dydaktycznej zajmuje się technologiami internetowymi, usługami webowymi i programowaniem współbieżnym. Mgr inż. Łukasz Leśniczek jest programistą specjalizującym się w technologiach opartych na platformie Microsoft .NET Framework. Zajmuje się projektowaniem, implementowaniem i wdrażaniem aplikacji webowych zarówno w warstwie front-end, jak i back-end.
