Creating a great connected experience across multiple platforms is an essential element of great mobile applications. What happens when there is little to no connectivity, such as on an airplane or in some foreign countries? Does your mobile app effortlessly synchronize data when the device gets back online? Your users expect and deserve this type of behavior, but developing your own cloud backend and an API across all operating environments is time consuming and error prone. Managing multiple projects, languages, IDEs, and continuous integration processes is not sustainable. Fear not, industry leaders such as Amazon, Couchbase, and Microsoft can help solve this problem on iOS, Android, and Windows mobile devices. This session investigates the wide range of options for creating both a connected and unconnected mobile experience. Come see a full implementation using the latest features of Azure App Service and mobile apps across iOS, Android, and Windows with Xamarin.

You will learn:

  • The hows and whys of disconnected mobile application
  • About the options available to craft great mobile experiences
  • How to build your first Azure connected and disconnected mobile app
