There's a lot more to Azure Logic Apps than just a nice visual editor. There's a whole JSON-based language grammar in this episode of Azure Friday Jeff Hollan explains the internals of Logic Apps and gives us the tools to explore more.

In this episode Brady Gaster schools Scott on how to customize the "Swagger" descriptive metadata format for Web APIs. You'll be able to craft your Web APIs and how they present themselves to customers with some of these advanced techniques within ASP.NET Web API.

Guang Yang continues to educate Scott on Azure API Apps. In this episode, we add authentication and an understanding of identity to an Azure API App.

Brady extends on his Swagger 101 talk and takes an existing Azure API App and plugs it into Azure API Management. Once APIM (API Management) knows about our app, we get a whole world of reach analytics as well as new powers like subscriber management and much more.

Brady Gaster comes by Azure Friday and explains "Swagger" to Scott. Swagger is kind of like WSDL for RESTful Web Services. If you've got a Web API running in the cloud, you'll want to know about Swagger. Azure API Apps speak Swagger at their core. We'll use Swagger AND Swashbuckle to light up some Web APIs!

Scott talks to Chacko Daniel about the lifecycle of an Azure Service Fabric Application. The Service Fabric is the system that is underlying Windows Azure itself, and it's now being made available as a programming model for developers to create "Born in the Cloud" applications. When you update those applications on a live, running site, what happens? Chacko brings an amazing demo and updates components of a site while it keeps running!
