HoL: SQL Azure and Azure Mobile Services

Location change The normal Omnyx's room is in use this night, so the folks at Riverside Center of Innovation (RCI) are stepping up big time to provide us a space.

The address is 700 River Ave, Pittsburgh PA 15212

Today's data-driven apps are all powered by an easy-to-use backend. In this session, we take deep dive into one such backend: Azure Mobile Services. Learn how to connect your app to a .NET Mobile Service, how to add authentication, and send push notifications using notification hubs. We also discuss Mobile Service concepts like scheduled jobs and how to publish your Mobile Service. Finally and most importantly, learn how to effectively troubleshoot and diagnose issues with your .NET Mobile Service. By building a sample app in the session, we take a comprehensive look at both Mobile Services and the tools in Visual Studio to help you succeed.

Thanks to TechEd and Merwan Hade for the inspiration.
