Set up development environment within Azure

Apr 16 2016 3:11 PM
Not new to .NET but just getting back into some light coding within the Azure platform.  Seeking references/articles on this subject.
 
Ideally, think we should have a generic dev environment but would also be cool if we could somehow sync our our local dev machine "stuff" (as much as possible) to the VM / image in the cloud.
 
Thanks all!
