10. we won’t talk much about Azure, but mostly on mobile client side & node.js
11. azure?
12. receive notifications use cloud as storage (blob + structured data) access web applications hosted in azure
13. blob storage http scenario 1 - access webapp/web service table storage node.js app on azure
14. table storage blob storage http scenario 2 - access azure storage
15. you need to create storage, then remember the account name & key
16. blob storage REST Endpoint: http://[account].blob.core.windows.net •List, Create, and Delete Containers •List, Put, Get, Delete Blobs
