We live in a mobile bring-your-own-device kind of world with a proliferation of devices—smart phones, tablets, and UltraBooks running iOS, Android, and Windows. People are working in online and offline modes, and moving from device to device. How do you build applications that provide a consistent view of identity, data, and services so that your workforce can be productive wherever they are? Mike Benkovich explores the latest features in Windows Azure and its Mobile Services to show you how to build connected applications that take advantage of the latest technologies, including data, identity, and push notifications. Mike describes the host of Windows Azure features and capabilities—dynamic schema, OAuth, and scripting technologies—that allow you to build secure applications quickly. In this fast-paced and demo-rich session, Mike will build and demonstrate client-side apps on Android devices, Windows Phones, and iOS to show you what is the possible today.
