Determining Azure Drive Letter with PHP
I wrote a post a couple of weeks ago about getting started with the new Windows Azure Tools that are available for Eclipse, but I glossed over some of the Windows Azure features that you can configure with the tools. In the next few weeks, I hope to drill into some of those features. Today, I’ll start by taking a look at Windows Azure Drives. Specifically, I’ll explain how to programmatically determine the driver letter for a Windows Azure Drive. (I’ll assume you’ve read the getting started post I wrote a couple of weeks ago.)

Using the Windows Azure Tools for Eclipse with PHP
Following on the heels of announcements a couple of weeks ago, the Interoperability Team at Microsoft is announcing the availability of another update to the Windows Azure Tools for Eclipse. In this post, I’ll use the updated Eclipse plug-i to walk you through creating and running a project in the Windows Azure Development Fabric, readying a project for deployment to Windows Azure, and deploying a project to Windows Azure. (This post assumes you have a Windows Azure account and have set up a storage service and SQL Azure. If you haven’t, these posts have directions for doing so: How to Run PHP in Windows Azure and Getting Started with PHP and SQL Azure.)

Reflecting on PHP-Microsoft Interoperability
This morning I came across this article on PHPDeveloper.org: Blast from the Past – One Year Ago in PHP. That brief look into the past got me to thinking about what Microsoft has done lately toward PHP interoperability. (By “lately”, I mean in the last few years.) And, I’ve been working on a presentation for TechEd in Berlin next month that will, in part, provide a brief overview of Microsoft’s efforts toward PHP interoperability and support. So, I thought I’d share a bit of that summary here…
