Take the 2-minute tour ×  Can anyone please provide advice on
setting up a sharepoint development environment. Basically I see
that Windows Azure is a good way to go.  The link is
http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/windows/other-
resources/sharepoint-on-azure/#header-7  The questions I have
are how exactly does this work. So developers just need an
internet connection to hook into the VM's?  They hook in to
Windows Azure and have a Dev VM and a Test VM each?  How does
source control work? Where is the main Integration and Dev
machines and Production Sites?  If anyone has done this can they
please give advice. There will be 5-6 developers and we don't
want a case where one person is working away and it knocks
someone else off the box etc...  Thanks guys  share|improve this
