Updates to Azure Mobile Apps server SDK

We have released a new Node.js server SDK for Azure Mobile Apps and have made updates to our .NET server SDK.

Node.js SDK for Mobile Apps

The new Node.js SDK makes it easy to host mobile backends using Node.js on the apps services. It supports a variety of mobile features, such as push notifications, mobile authentication, and offline sync. With the new SDK, you can also add mobile capabilities to any Node.js app running on the apps services. The SDK is open-source under an MIT license. For more information, see:

Updated .NET server SDK

We've made a number of updates to the .NET Server SDK for Azure Mobile Apps. The latest updates include:

• Support for the Azure Table service
• Improvements to authentication middleware setup, to compose better with ASP.NET
• Better defaults for database schema setup

The SDK is available on NuGet (see Microsoft Azure Mobile App .NET... 0.2.553). It is also available as the Microsoft.Azure.Mobile.Server.* extension package. You can also download a quick-start solution for a variety of mobile client platforms from the Azure portal.To learn more, see the blog post Azure Mobile Apps September 2015 Update.
