At the Microsoft Build conference last year, the Visual Studio App Center team announced two new services that make up the beginning of their new Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaas) offering, empowering developers to build apps faster without the need for managing backend infrastructure.
We'll take a tour of VS App Center, dive deep into these new Data & Authentication services, and roll up our sleeves by learning how to get your own backend up and running and securely communicating with a sample cloud-connected Xamarin.Forms app for iOS and Android. Come see how VS App Center lives up to their motto, "make app development 10x easier".

Presented at the MN Developers Conference, Oct 2019 (https://mdc.ilmservice.com) & will be presenting at MN Enterprise Mobile meetup Jan, 2020 (https://www.meetup.com/Minnesota-Enterprise-Mobile/)
