Accelerate your mobile development with Azure!

This month we'll take a look at Azure Mobile Services and how it can accelerate your cross-platform app development. Mobile Services gives you a scalable, ASP.NET (http://asp.net/) WebAPI based backend with built-in support for storage, authentication, push notifications and more. We'll look at how easily you can enable offline support for your apps with our new offline data sync feature, how to build hybrid cloud applications that can securely access on-premise data and services, and more.
