Building Cloud-Enabled Cross-Platform Mobile Apps in C# with Azure App Services
This document discusses building cross-platform mobile apps in C# with Azure App Services. It covers using C# with different UI frameworks, running apps in the cloud on Azure, composing apps with services like Web Apps, Mobile Apps, and Logic Apps. It also discusses using Notification Hubs for push notifications across platforms and how to get started with free development resources on Azure.

- #10 C# + XAML C# + XML C# + XIB Highlight that thru PCL (Portable Class Libraries) you can also re-used binary-compiled .DLLs between the three platforms rather than just C# code.
- #12 (Adjust timing to Audience) Slide Objective: Explain the commonly accepted cloud computing models (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) in terms of an IT Pro’s responsibilities. Key Talking Points: When considering these cloud computing models, skilled IT Pros are needed to manage the components of each model that are unique to an organization: (CLICK) Infrastructure as a Service: While the cloud vendor manages the physical hardware fabric for raw compute, networking and storage capacity, (CLICK) IT Pros provision IaaS for their organizational needs and (CLICK) continue to manage each provisioned virtual machine in a manner that is very similar to on-premises workloads. (CLICK) Platform as a Service: In PaaS, the cloud platform vendor provisions and manages a consistent runtime environment upon which applications can be developed. (CLICK) IT Pros are needed in deploying and monitoring these applications, as well as managing access and protection of data. (CLICK) Software as a Service: In SaaS, an organization is consuming an entire packaged application that is being delivered via the cloud. (CLICK) IT Pros are needed to manage access to these applications and the underlying data. By choosing the best cloud computing model for each application need, depending on whether your organization needs to host, develop or consume an application, IT Pros can gain significant time-savings when managing applications that can then be applied to time investments in new strategic projects for an organization. (CLICK) During this event, we will primarily be focusing on the IaaS Computing Model delivered via Windows Azure Infrastructure Services so that you can learn how to leverage the advantages of Windows Azure for hosting existing applications for your organization.
