Developing iOS Apps with Azure and Office 365 APIs

Hola Richard diZerega, publico un excelente articulo sobre como desarrollar apps para iOS con Azure y Office 365 APIs

aqui el detalle:

Microsoft will kick-off a world tour event this week with the Office 365 Summit (formerly Ignite). With planned stops across 6 continents and fresh new content/tracks, the Summit promised to be the premier Office 365 training event offered by Microsoft. I’ll have the pleasure of delivering developer sessions across two separate developer tracks with a focus on new Office 365 APIs. The Office 365 APIs are extremely exciting for the following reasons:

  • The Office 365 APIs promote Office 365 as a platform for developers. Ultimately, Office 365 can be seen a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering AND a Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering because of these API investments.
  • The Office 365 APIs remove the silos that exist in traditional Office/SharePoint solution development. Instead of developing solutions IN Office/SharePoint the Office 365 APIs enable solutions to be developed WITH Office/SharePoint.
  • The Office 365 APIs are delivered using standards such as REST/OData/OAuth, which enable developers from all background and technologies to leverage Office 365 features in their solutions. Instead of just targeting Microsoft/.NET developers, the APIs are technology agnostic for ANY developer.

As an evangelist, I speak frequently about this value proposition. As I prepared for the Office 365 Summit, I realized I have never leveraged the Office 365 APIs outside of Visual Studio (my comfort zone). As a weekend challenge, I decided to try developing an iOS app with the Office 365 APIs using XCode and Swift (both completely new to me). Are the Office 365 APIs and Azure really that easy to develop with outside of Visual Studio?
