How to build a Mobile API or HTML 5 app in 5 minutes
Published on Estimated reading time: 1 minutes
Last night I had the absolute joy of spending a little more than an hour talking about Visual Studio 2013 & (more importantly) Visual Studio LightSwitch at the Developer User Group. It was great to have a standing-room-only session with loads of participation, and hopefully I got to show off why I love LightSwitch.
This talk was mostly just me doing massive demo fun and running all over the place. We covered:
- LightSwitch 101 (creating forms, adding data, etc.)
- Some more advanced layout tricks in LightSwitch
- How LightSwitch works under the covers
- Visual Studio 2013’s profile & notification features
- Visual Studio extensions
- Visual Studio Code Lens
- Building custom clients with OData
- Wrapping data in Web API
And so much more. This was really a session driven by the audience, so it was great fun for me. The slides (which likely won’t be of much use) are below.
Thank you everyone for making it a super special evening for me!
