  9:45 AM Saturday   Room: 4221

  Visual Studio LightSwitch is the easiest way to create modern, data-centric, line of business applications for the enterprise. In this demo-heavy session, we will build and deploy end-to-end, a full-featured business app that runs in Azure and provides rich user experiences tailored for modern devices. We’ll cover how LightSwitch helps you focus your time on what makes your application unique, allowing you to easily implement common business application scenarios—such as integrating multiple data sources, data validation, authentication, and access control. We’ll cover complex business rules and advanced data services for facilitating custom mobile reporting dashboards. You will also see how developers can use their knowledge of HTML5 and JavaScript to customize their apps with custom controls, client-side logic, and CSS themes.

• Developing Office 365 Cloud Business Apps with Visual Studio 2013

  11:15 AM Saturday   Room: 4221

  Office 365 is an ideal business app platform providing a core set of services expected in today’s business apps like presence, social, integrated workflow and a central location for installing, discovering and managing the apps. Office 365 makes these business apps available where users already spend their time – in SharePoint & Office. Visual Studio 2013 streamlines the way developers build modern business applications for Office 365 and SharePoint 2013 with the Office 365 Cloud Business App project. In this demo-heavy session, you’ll see how developers can build social, touch-centric, cross-platform Office 365 business applications that run well on all modern devices.
