19. Why Azure Mobile Apps? Extremely powerful Flexible
Easy Tables (Node.js Backend)
App Service (ASP.NET Backend)
Cross-platform client SDK
iOS, Android, and Windows
Open source C#
Backend and Client SDKS on GitHub
Extremely powerful
You can do almost anything your backend would ever need to do with Azure. Data storage, authentication/authorization, push notifications, custom APIs, blob storage, etc.
Flexible
Need something lightweight? Azure is there.
Need something robust and powerful? Azure is there.
C# clients
I’m a frontend developer, I care a lot about how easy this makes MY job (selfish)
Many C# clients are written by Java developers, etc.
Easy to use C# client
Abstracts away much of pain of using a RESTful API
C# Features
Async / Await / TPL
Uses C# idioms
Properties, Fluent API
Seems obvious, but not always true (first class citizen)
