Now that all of the devices are online, how do we delight our users with visibility into those devices in an elegant, useful way? We discuss our award-winning IoT app for Thermo Fisher Scientific developed using Xamarin. Then the session delves into the Azure IoT Hub and examines ways for users to make real-time decisions utilizing IoT data from the hub. The talk covers real-world use cases of IoT with mobile integration and cross-platform development.
Microsoft now embraces the cross-platform nature of the mobile market and is building a suite of cross-platform mobile development tools to help devs and companies build the apps they need. With the acquisition of Xamarin, Visual Studio is now a powerhouse of native cross-platform development. Using Visual Studio Mobile Center (VSMC), teams can now standardize and power their entire workflow from build, distribution, analytics, to crash reports and user feedback. Enterprise data and security options reside in Azure Mobile Apps. Azure Functions and Cognitive Services are providing some of the newest and most powerful server-side features for mobile development. This session covers the latest topics in Microsoft’s mobile app dev strategy.
