Convinced!
The process
Get your kegs clean
Add & boil ingredients
Pour in keg
Add yeast
Rinse
The process
Wait for fermentation to complete
The process
Pour into another keg
Rinse
Wait another week
Bottling time!
Difficult part…
Wait at least 6 weeks
  for it to age

Web Sites
Scale-fast has just become more interesting
Windows Azure Web Sites

         Build with ASP.NET, Node.js or PHP
         Deploy in seconds with FTP, Git or TFS
         Start for free, scale up as your traffic
          grows
Windows Azure Web Sites
           shared             1
SHARED INSTANCES
Windows Azure Web Sites
           shared             2
SHARED INSTANCES

        reserved                        0

A perfect ramp-up!
Start small
  Web Sites are cheap
  Start free
  Scale from 1 shared instance…
  …up to 10 reserved instances!
Grow big!

Characteristics
Workers can scale independently
Workers can fail independently
Sensors connect to service bus directly
 No layer in between
 Cheaper
What about authN / authZ?
Access Control Service to the rescue!
SB authenticates clients over ACS
ACS provides “Send” claim to sensor
Claims can be granted/revoked easily

How do you link a sensor?
Every sensor has its sensor ID
Add it as an identity to ACS
Grant a “Send” claim

We need an API
Consuming the web
2000-2008: Desktop browser
2008-2012: Mobile browser
2008-2012: iPhone and Android apps
2010-2014: Tablets, tablets, tablets
2014-2016: Your fridge (Internet of Things)
Twitter & Facebook
By show of hands
Make everyone API
(as the French say)
What is an API?
Software-to-Software interface
Contract between software and developers
 Functionalities, constraints (technical / legal) Programming instructions and
 standards
Open services to other software developers (public or private)
Expose services to 3rd parties
Valuable
Flexible
Managed
Supported
Have a plan
Reach More Clients
ASP.NET Web API
Part of ASP.NET MVC 4
Framework to build HTTP Services (REST)
Solid features
  Modern HTTP programming model
  Content negotiation (e.g. Xml, json, ...)
  Query composition (OData query support)
  Model binding and validation (conversion to .NET objects)
  Routes
  Filters (e.g. Validation, exception handling, ...)
  And more!
demo
Be detailed!
Think about RFC 2324 (HTCPCP)

ASP.NET Web API
Let’s craft a quick API
What about authN / authZ?
API access through OAuth2
Access Control Service to the rescue!
Client authorized in BrewBuddy.net
Access/refresh tokens through ACS

  API Consumer                                               BrewBuddy.net

Takeaways
Keep in mind…
Web Sites start cheap / scale fast
Combine/grow at will (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)
Service bus for asynchrony and scale

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Maarten
  • #19 Don’t show everythingyet. Just log in, show themaround the recipes, brewsand public recipes. Feel free to show the monitoring but no needto display the linking of sensors.
  • #29 Show Windows Azure Web SitesShow scaling / reservedinstances
  • #36 Show peoplearound the ACS porta. Show identities, claims andrulegroups.
  • #39 Link a sensor to a brew. Show the effect on ACS. Show the code.
  • #41 A couple of years ago, having a web-based application was enough. Users would navigate to it using their computer’s browser, do their dance and log out again. Nowadays, a web-based application isn’t enough anymore. People have smartphones, tablets and maybe even a refrigerator with Internet access on which applications can run. Applications or “apps”. We’re moving from the web towards apps.
  • #43 A great example of an API is Twitter. They have a massive data store containing tweets and data related to that. They have user profiles. And a web site. And an API. Are you using www.twitter.com to post tweets? I am using the website, maybe once a year. All other tweets come either from my Windows Phone 7’s Twitter application or through www.hootsuite.com, a third-party Twitter client which provides added value in the form of statistics and scheduling. Both the app on my phone as well as the third-party service are using the Twitter API. By exposing an API, Twitter has created a rich ecosystem which drives their real value: data.
  • #46 If you want to expose your data and services to external third-parties, you may want to think about building an API. Having an API gives you a giant advantage on the Internet nowadays. Having an API will allow your web application to reach more users. App developers will jump onto your API and build their app around it. Other websites or apps will integrate with your services by consuming your API. The only thing you have to do is expose a valuable, managed and supported API and get people to know it. Apps will come. Integration will come.
  • #47 The mainidea of API’s is tobroadenyourreach. Youcan’tcreateappsthatcanbeused on every fridge out there, it’s way toocostly. But ifyou have a valuable service which is supported, peoplewillbuildappsaround it. Andifitmakes sense toanyonetocreate a fridge app on top of your API, itwill happen.
  • #49 Be detailed! Usegood status code responses. 201 CREATED is probablybetterthanjust 200 OK whencreating a new entity.+ demo Fiddleragainst HTCPCP deployment out there
  • #50 Link a sensor to a brew. Show the effect on ACS. Show the code.
  • #53 Show peoplearound the ACS porta. Show identities, claims andrulegroups.
