In this session we introduce Microsoft's new Azure Blockchain Service, discuss the anatomy of a shared workflow application and talk through how to configure and deploy blockchain infrastructure. From deploying consortium member nodes from the Azure Portal to consortium management, to interacting with the service's API, this session will provide a thorough overview of Azure's newest service Watch Part II: Writing and testing smart contracts with VS Code Create a member: https://aka.ms/BCcreatemember Configure nodes: https://aka.ms/BCconfigurenodes Related Links: Azure Blockchain SolutionsAzure Blockchain ServiceAzure Blockchain WorkbenchAzure Blockchain TokensAzure Free TrialAzure Blockchain Dev KitAzure Blockchain DocumentationFollow @CH9 Follow @MSFTBlockchain

Blockchain developers want to change the world, and to do that they need world class developer tools. The Azure Blockchain Service and the new VS Code developer experience bring the best of Azure and open source to blockchain development. This episode covers the full range of devops activities enabled in VS Code - from development of smart contracts to policy driven CI/CD in a consortium environment to generating REST services, data integration, and event publishing code.

Once your infrastructure is configured and smart contracts authored, you need a ingest data, events and messages relevant to your smart contracts. Doing so requires integration with a heterogeneous set of legacy business applications, databases and end points, which can be time consuming and costly. In this session, we cover patterns and serverless tools for sending data to the ledger network you've created with Azure Blockchain Service.

An important final step to building shared blockchain based utilities is enabling your business apps and databases to communicate with the new immutable data that is stored on the ledger. In this session we cover the patterns for publishing ledger data to off-chain databases, creating events for your consuming applications and visualizing ledger activity using tools like PowerBI View our Logic App connectors in the Azure Blockchain Dev Kit Access new Flow templates to build codeless workflows Related Links: Azure Blockchain SolutionsAzure Blockchain ServiceAzure Blockchain WorkbenchAzure Blockchain TokensAzure Free TrialAzure Blockchain Dev KitAzure Blockchain DocumentationFollow @CH9 Follow @MSFTBlockchain

Integration with smart contracts is a common topic with developers. Whether with apps, data, messaging or services there is a desire to connect the functions and events of smart contracts in an end to end scenario. In this episode, we look at the different types of scenarios and look at the most common use case – how to quickly expose your smart contract functions as microservices with the Ethereum Blockchain Connector for Logic Apps or Flow.

In this episode we use the Ethereum Logic App connector to push contract data into an Azure Search index. This makes contract data available to a wide range of Enterprise applications via simple search queries. Additional details and sample code are available on GitHub Follow @CH9 Follow @MSFTBlockchain

In this episode we use the Ethereum Logic App connector to generate contracts based on transactions occurring in a SQL database. Once we've created the contract, we update the SQL database with contract details like contract address on the ledger. Additional details and sample code are available here.

This session provides an overview of some of the more popular privacy features employed on private consortium's to enable sharing data only with specific participants in a network. This is implemented in a variety of ways and the architecture of these are discussed with a brief demo using the Quorum blockchain. Follow @CH9 Follow @MSFTBlockchain

There are multiple scenarios where having attestable documents and media is valuable. Media doesn't belong on the blockchain, but hashes of the media and metadata can be added. In this video we demonstrate a blockchain devkit accelerator that shows how to hash a media file, uploaded to a service like Adobe Creative Cloud, and its metadata and add it to a blockchain.
