Visual Studio 2013, MSFT’s flagship was released in November 2013 and people just love it. With it came the new release of the online version and also one for Windows Azure integrated in WAWS. This doesn’t made the choice of tooling easier on all of us. And thus maybe it’s about time to take a look what we can do with all the available tools and which tools are your best tools of the trade. And is there such a thing as “One Tool to rule’em all”? This session will hopefully enlighten your path to Windows Azure Tooling (for Dev, IT Pro and asset Management).
