This week, James is joined yet again by friend of the show Laurent Bugnion, who shows us how Azure Functions (serverless programming) can be used to create a backend for your Xamarin applications. We'll see a super simple project first and then move on to a more "real life" application.

ReinhardS Thanks for the second sample so far I had only seen all these super simple Azure Function samples but never a really useful use case for them.

AnthonyTobin Nice to see the super simple add example and then move right to the more involved coin example.

rasmuschristensen Great episode, simple introduction. One thing you almost have to deal with in every application is Authentication. It would we very good to see some more on this topic.

pitchblack This is golden content, a chance to learn cross-platform app development without enrolling at coursera or udemy - from actual professionals that know what they're talking about. Thanks for the show James & Laurent.

Ki6FHX Awesome!
Using for a couple things in Azure already. Latest, and quick and dirty store for Google's analytics UTM codes into storage tables is the plan.
We are given 4 days to put something together, and Function it is. I don't want to cludge my microservices or mess up my databases with data business isn't really sure it wants store. Either tables or individual files - at least they're stored and leave the worry about getting and making sense of the data to business.
