Hi Atif,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure what you mean by 'extend the time' - you mean you'd like a longer video?

Thanks all!

To find out more, head to: http://aka.ms/mobileservices

Everybody can get 10 free Mobile Services. To sign up for the no-commitment free-trial of Azure: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/ or, if you already have an Azure account follow these instructions to add Mobile Services preview to your account: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/create-a-windows-azure-account/ 

@test: it works

Hi Grahame,

Windows Notification Services can only communicate with Windows 8 devices (via WinRT). Do you want to send a notification to the user of MVC web app (in his browser) or to your backend - i.e. the MVC application itself?

Thanks

Josh

@Jason: he says tomato...

Thanks Randhir,

1. It runs in the 'middle-tier' which we call the mobile service, not SQL azure. You can find out more about how we built Mobile Services and it's architecture on the next Web Camps TV (http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Web+Camps+TV/)

2. JavaScript is an ideal choice for short, simple asynchronous scripts. It's also one of the most universal languages which is attractive as we broaden our platform support to include iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. Of course, we haven't ruled out supporting C# on the server but right now most folk seem to enjoy the JS model.

3. The script executes in-process in the middle tier. It gets invoked, erm, directly! No inter-process-communication necessary to execute a script, only to get to the DB.

4. Yes, your Mobile Service runtime is isolated from other service runtimes. I'll talk more about this in the next edition of Web Camps TV too. To cut a long story short, we run on the same infrastructure offered by Azure Web Sites.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

Josh
