In this session, well build a backend for a Windows 8 app, an iOS app, and an Android app - all accessing the same data store and server-side triggers!

Mobile app developers don't -- and shouldn't! -- care about servers and clouds, push notification services and databases. Windows Azure Mobile Services (WAMS) is a cloud-based offering that provides a complete backend for mobile apps including data access and push notifications, enabling you to focus on the mobile app infrastructure and code and forget about the server management intricacies. In this talk we'll build a backend for a Windows 8 app, an iOS app, and an Android app -- all accessing the same data store and server-side triggers.


You will learn:
  • Integrating push notifications on several mobile platforms
  • Creating a cloud-based storage backend for your app's data
  • Managing users and logins automatically with WAMS
