This document discusses push notifications and how to implement them using Azure services. It covers what push notifications are, the challenges of implementing them across platforms, and how Azure Notification Hub addresses these challenges by providing a cross-platform solution. It also discusses how to integrate Azure Notification Hub with Azure Mobile Apps to enable push notifications in mobile apps. The document concludes with a demo of creating a todo app that uses these Azure services to implement push notifications.
