Mobile builds, cloud testing, analytics, test deployments and event push notifications can be found here. It's not just Microsoft development technologies either. Swift app? No problem. React Native app? No problem. Android app with Java? No problem. Many existing mobile development technologies can all tie into VSMC. This session will look at what VSMC is and how you can use it to simplify building mobile applications.

You will learn:
