Windows Azure Toolkit for iOS
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like1,921 views
The document discusses the Windows Azure Toolkit for iOS, which enables iOS applications to access Windows Azure services like Blob Storage, Table Storage, and Queue Storage. It describes some common mobile scenarios that can be enabled by using these services, and outlines how the toolkit addresses the complexity of authenticating from and interacting with iOS applications. It also covers future plans like supporting additional Azure services, an Android version of the toolkit, and providing more code samples and case studies.
