An introduction to App Center
In this session, we will look at most of the functions from Microsoft App Center. We will be looking at how App Center, despite its spelling, can help us build, test and distribute our applications, and use the diagnostics and analytic functions. Finally we will take a look at push notifications. Speaker Pete Vickers is a 'veteran' of the IT Industry, starting before IT even existed as a term. He is a co-founder of Dot Net North, and has been running his own consultancy for the last 25 years. Venue This meeting is at Code Nation, at Spring Gardens. This is situated in the city centre, near the main Post Office, behind Primark. There will be someone in the foyer who will sign you in and then tell you how to find the venue. This is a free event - there is no charge for a ticket.We often get enough RSVP's for there to be a waiting list; the list has always cleared by the early part of the week of the talk, but this relies on you releasing your ticket if you can no longer attend. Please remember to do this if your plans change. Please ensure we have an email address that you do look at, so we can let you know of any last minute changes; and please use your full name on the site as it's the only way we, or the fire service, can account for you in the case of an evacuation/emergency/fire etc. You can also follow us on Twitter @dotnetnorth for updates too. We order a van-load of pizza for our half time break. If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know via the group message forum.
