July 10, 2017 - The IBLN-FBI "T!PS" for business and apps development webinar series moves to the evening! Starting at 10:30pm of July 10th those in attendance learned how to build a mobile app on the Azure Portal using the Quickstart for Xamarin Forms. They saw a demo on how to create the database and Service API for a Xamarin Forms application to consume, utilizing an Azure mobile service. Shown was the portal to create a mobile app and use the Xamarin Forms Quickstart to create a database for the app. The Quick Start also provides creating a app service using the Table API. This approach is Russ’ (Fustino) new “File New”, for Xamarin Forms apps. This was an advanced webinar. See the Live Video of Webinar Here!

Questions addressed:

• When importing a CSV for my data in a collection, how do I upload it without getting numerous errors?
• Is there an Excel macro/Add-in I can use to help this process, so I have the ability to keep commas in the field data, use semi colons as a delimiter and double quotes around all of the field data items?
• What is the maximum number of items in a collection? Is there a work around?
• How do I assign actions on a detail page of a collection item?
• How do I take advantage of Hero images on each page and what sizes are needed? Where do I load the background of the app?
• Where do I set the splash screen vs the logos for the app?
• What are the size limitations?
• Is there an easy way to install the app for reviewers and team members?
