Rapid Application Development with Xamarin and Azure App Service

Modern apps involve dozens, if not hundreds, of different technologies. Tools like Xamarin and Azure can reduce the number you need to learn to make modern, cross-platform apps. They eliminate a lot of backend infrastructure and coding and enable you to get apps out to your users more quickly. Learn how to build your own rapid mobile development workflow using Xamarin and Azure App Service, in this hands-on training course from instructor James Timberlake. First, find out how to set up your project for success, using Visual Studio, Xamarin.Forms, and the Mobile Apps feature of Azure App Service. The rest of the course shows how to enable sophisticated data, security, and messaging features using tools like Xamarin Easy Tables and Azure Storage to cut down on development time. James shows how to enable single sign-on authentication with a few lines of code, generate API SDKs for your backend call, dynamically sync data both online and off, and send push notifications to iOS and Android devices from one centralized place.
