New Samples and Videos Featured for Mobile Services
I just wanted to take a few minutes to share some exciting new videos and samples-related activity for Mobile Services—particularly for Windows Store apps.
(You can find even more details at https://www.nickharris.net/2013/01/new-windows-azure-mobile-services-getting-started-content/).
New WindowsAzure.com Resources
Mobile Services guru Nick Harris has been busy adding value to Mobile Services content and samples, including creating videos for many of the Mobile Services tutorials. Links to these videos from the Channel 9 series are embedded in the Tutorials and Resources page.
We also have a new Code Samples page in the Mobile Services dev center, featuring (at this point) Windows Store samples.
New Scenario-Based Samples
Nick has also written 5 kickin’ new samples that address cool app-driven scenarios for Mobile Services and Windows Store apps.
I should point out that these samples are documented at least as well as our Mobile Services tutorials on WindowsAzure.com.
5 stars all the way….
