- 12. JSON -> SQL data types JSON value T-SQL type Numeric values (integer, decimal, floating point) Float(53) Boolean Bit DateTime DateTimeOffset(3) String Nvarchar(max)
- 15. “Data Centric” Server Logic Backend runs Node.js on small azure VM’s “Interceptors” exposed for all CRUD requests to all tables You only get access to a predefined set of node modules Third party apps exposed through node modules (sendgrid, twilio, pusher) request, console, push.*, tables, sql, statusCodes, azure, mssql
- 16. Unstructured Storage “Virtual Tables” let you short-circuit the database entirely E.g. offload to Azure table storage, azure blob storage, service bus queues ! var azure = require('azure'); var accountName = '<storage-account-name>'; var accountKey = '<storage-account-key>'; var host = accountName + '.blob.core.windows.net'; var blobService = azure.createBlobService(accountName, accountKey, host);
- 17. Demo INTERCEPTORS AND SENDING EMAILS WITH SENDGRID
- 18. Notifications
- 19. Push Notifications The global push object is used to send push notifications. Success & Error Callbacks are provided Method push. apns Apple Push Notification Service iOS apps push. gcm Google Cloud Messaging Android apps push. mpns Microsoft Push Notification Service Windows Phone 8 apps push. wns Windows Notification Services Windows Store apps

- 24. Authorisation Table level authorization for CRUD operations Everyone: any request by anyone is accepted. Anyone with Application Key: app key distributed w/ the app (default) Authenticated Users: users authenticated by Live Connect. Scripts and Admins: registered scripts or requests via the master key Application Key should not be used in production !
- 26. Command line tools Can do “most things” from the command line Create/ Delete a new mobile service Create / Delete a table Register table scripts list tables/ mobile services No access to the scheduler from the command line

Editor's Notes
- #5: It’s a back end for you mobile apps Giving you storage, authentication oAuth with various social networksServer side business logic with node.js interceptorsPush notifications to different mobile devicesSchedulerOther players include Parse, Kinvey, Buddy, AppceleratorRelatively recent development in cloud computing started circa 2011
- #6: All SDKs are open sourced on GitHubREST API for any other device….
- #11: Both structured & unstructured storage availableWindows Azure SQL database with a dynamic schema or whatever you fancy!
- #14: Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows a web page to make XMLHttpRequests to another domain.Such "cross-domain" requests would otherwise be forbidden by web browsers, per the same origin security policy. CORS defines a way in which the browser and the server can interact to determine whether or not to allow the cross-origin request.
