Question About what Azure Services I should be using for mobile app with website.

Hello,
I am wondering what Azure service would be best for my new application. I need to have an SQL database that I can connect to and modify from both a website and a mobile app preferably WP8 and Android. I was not really understanding whether I would need a
mobile service or normal SQL database. Which should I use or am I completely off track?
Thanks,
Matthias

Mobile Services uses SQL Database, nothing special on that SQL Database, its just like any other  "normal" SQL Database.
Mobile Services provides "back-end services" that simplifies accessing SQL Database, Notification services, authentication, etc...
Let's assume you don't use Mobile Services, to use SQL Database, you would need your app (both mobile and web) to connect to the database. In practice, you will not want to expose your SQL database directly, so you'd end-up writing some kind of a "facade"
that your app will access instead of directly connecting to the database.
Instead of writing that "facade", Mobile services provides that for you (you still have to write code though, but less than what you need to write if you're rolling your own).
Both your web app and mobile apps can share the same SQL database (pay attention to the mobile service schema).
To help you decide, ask yourself what other features will your mobile app require? Authentication? Notification? etc... are you prepared to write those on your own or use various libraries instead of one?

  • Which Nuget Package for Azure Service Bus can I use for Windows Store apps?

    Hi,
    I want to use the Azure Service Bus Topics. I have an app that needs to subscribe to the Service bus Topic. The Nuget-Package for Azure Service Bus is not applicable for Windows Store Apps (I get an error during install), thats why I used the Windows Azure
    Service Bus managed for Windows Store. Unfortunatelly this API throws a Serialization Exception when I create a subscription. What can I do to use the Service bus in Windows store apps?
    Thats how I try to create the subscription:
    await Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Messaging.Subscription.CreateAsync(TOPIC_NAME, SUBSCRIPTION_NAME, CONNECTION_STRING);

    Yes this is the one I used.
    But creating a subscription with the code above throws the SerializationException mentioned in this question:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/1acb887e-d5f1-4bfb-8eb9-f8ce7390ae7b/microsoftwindowsazuremessagingsubscriptioncreateasync-throws-an?forum=servbus&prof=required.
    Maybe I do something wrong? Do I Need to do something before creating the subscription?
    I haven't found any sample that shows how you can subscribe to a Topic and receive Messages using the restricted Api for winrt :(
    Any suggestions?

  • What external Hard drive should I use for Final Cut Pro?

    You'll need to be much more specific; there are 20 or 60 different kinds of high definition. Some require nothing, some require superfast RAID, some require specialized hardware support.

  • What frame rate timeline should I use for 1080p 60fps premiere pro

    When using 1080p 60fps clips what sequence should I use when creating a timeline that would work the best for slow mo application?
    I read that you should use a 24 fps timeline but i'm not sure?
    Also I have a few 720 @ 120 fps, should I create a separate sequence for that and what kind of timeline should I use since cs5 only has 1080 @ 60fps option?

    24 is a good frame rate for most animations but some people like 30 and for the max stress on user systems and animation smoothness, use 60.

  • What kind of motor should I use for lifting a heavy load?

    I'm working on an automation application in which I need to control a lifting mechanism with heavy load (about 120 lbs).  I will be getting constant temperature readings and based on that data I can determine the rate of change of the temperature.  If the temperature rate is too fast then I need to be able to slow down the motor, if it is too slow then I need to speed it up.  I'm looking for some support with choosing the right motor and hardware so that I have full speed control, while still being able to lift this heavy load, hold the load in a certain position, and then raise the load back to its original position.  I was considering a stepper motor for this due to its ability to brake so the load can stabilize.  Is this the right call or should I use a continuous servo?  Where can I get such a stepper that can handle this type of load and has software that interfaces with LabVIEW?  Would I be safe getting low-cost hardware for this application?  Any guidance would be sincerely appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks for your replies to this topic.  I just discovered the worm gear option yesterday while talking to a professor.  I think that is the route we are going to take because the DC motor won't be as expensive as a high-torque stepper or servo.  Also, I have three engineers that will be calculating the motor size based on gear reduction, spool size, cable length, and the load that we have to lift (which is about 120 lbs.).  If any of you would like to suggest a motor size, that would be great too.  I'm thinking something around 1HP should probably do it.  My goal is to stay cost-effective while making an easy apparatus.  I know that the worm gears may also be inefficient at times but it seems like the best solution for this application.  Not to mention it's not to hard for our mechanical engineers here to make the spool and bearings.  And I believe you can buy a DC motor that interfaces directly with a worm gear.  However, a follow up question is what computer hardware do I need to control the voltage of the motor so I have speed control?  Is this done through an RS232 board?  My output from the LabVIEW program will be voltages, from which device is that binary signal converted into physical voltage?  Thanks for your help so far.

  • What font and sizings should I use for pocket magazine?

    Hi
    I am nearly finished with a 165 x 120mm puzzle magazine but need to play with the font family and sizing so that its best for printing as crisply as possible.
    Currently I'm using Helvetica Neue LT Std - 65 Medium, font size 11px (14px), I am thinking about changing to Arial Regular, 9px (11px), but what would be a standand font and size for good printing practice for A5 and smaller booklet/magazines?
    Any advice here would be great thanks.
    Ash

    Sounds like you set up for an interactive document rahter than for print in the initial setup. No major harm done. Right-click the squer inthe upper left corner betweenthe rulers and reset the units to inches and see if the type reverts to points, if not, you may be able to change it in the prefs, and failing all there is a 1:1 relationship between px and pt in InDesign.
    None of the above has anythign to do with your question about suitability. There's no good reason I can think of to choose Arial over the Helvetica Neue in any size. And I don't think there are any "standards" for how small the type should be. Are you expecting your readers to be older and have difficulty with small type? Will everything that needs to be on the pages fit at 11 pt? I would advise using the larger type, if possible, to help the vision impaired, but I also suggest you print a few pages and look at them in both sizes. Are they readable, or does one look like a sea of gray?

  • What external hdd bus should I use for FCP 7?

    Howdy! My colleague and I are editing a film in FCP 7, and media handling has become somewhat, complicated, shall we say. So we decided that we're both going to buy external hard drives, and keep them in synch using something like Super Duper, or Carbon Copy Cloner. I've been doing some research, but I'm still unsure as to what connection I should use? We're both using MacBook Pro's with firewire 800 ports, and USB 2.0 ports (No thunderbolt). Since these drives are going to be used exclusivly for video and audio, how fast of a connection should we have so that the connection doesn't cause a bottle neck? I know that Sata III can do up to 6.0 Gb/s, but I also know that a hard drive can't utilize that much bandwidth. So will USB 2.0 slow it down, or would it be fast enough? Or should I opt for firewire 800?
    This is the hard drive I'm looking at getting, and I'll put it in an external encloser:

    Thanks!
    Paul
    P.S. is 5200rpm's enough, or should I get 7200rpm?

    If you plan to use the drive for editing/rendering media files, you'll need a 7200rpm drive and a Firewire or eSATA connection.
    If you're only using the drive for backup purposes or general data storage, USB and 5400rpm will work.

  • What type of graph should I use in mobile application

    Hi,
    I have an application under jdev 11g.
    Some of my pages are exposed for mobile but they include DVT component.
    The DVT is not shown in mobile browser.
    I tried the trinidad chart also the graph is not displayed.
    Kindly advise which is the best graph component to be used in mobile application (JFREE CHART, ...)
    Regards
    Emile BITAR

    Hi, Emile, which DVT components are you using for your mobile pages? Is it ADF Data Visualization or ADF Data Visualization Core? Mobile support for DVT components is in the ADF Data Visualization Core set of components.
    Trinidad Chart is not a supported component - you would need to use ADF DV Core set of components.
    Please note that ADF Data Visualization Core is a new feature in JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0 that was just released on July 1st with FMW 11g.
    One last little reminder - when creating a page to be rendered on Mobile Browser, the JSF page should not contain any ADF Faces components (i.e. af: tags) or ADF Data Visualization Components. Including these tags would cause the ADF Faces RC framework files to be downloaded to mobile devices.
    If you are using ADF Data Visualization Core components in 11.1.1.1.0, but they do not show up in your mobile browser, please specify the mobile browser you are using. While Trinidad components in general now works on virtually any mobile browsers, DVT core does not. Please let us know what you are using and we can look into it.
    Thanks,

  • Isolate lips--what face paint color should I use for best green screen keying effect?

    Hello there!  I am using Elements 11.
    It sounds like I answered my question in my question.  Green, right?  But , face paint doesn't have the reflective, glossy quality that a true green screen would have.  Does that change anything?  Should I look for green face paint or would another color work better in this context? 
    Again, I'd like to isolate the lips of my subject.  The shot will be a close-up, framed to where it only includes lips, chin and nose.  Let me know if it'll help to provide a screenshot.
    One more question...  Once I've removed the background and isolated the lips, is it possible to move them around the frame discretely?  Meaning, they appear here in bottom center and then suddenly appear in upper left corner? 
    Thanks for your time! 

    Thanks for replying AT!
    I am using Mac version.  Good question since I do NOT have Chromakey. 
    To help us along, I have uploaded a number of images from a test I did yesterday.
    I am getting some results but they are imperfect.
    I do believe my main issue has to do with a lack of uniform LIGHTING.  As my subject's lips move, it creates shadows thus making it difficult for Elements to pick up the green. 
    I used Non-Red Key and then Garbage Matte to get the results that you see. 
    Thanks!

  • Which HttpClient class should I use for Universal apps?

    Hi,
    I am developing a Windows Universal app for Windows phone and WinRT in C# and I would like to know which HttpClient class should i use? Should I use the System.Net.HttpClient or Windows.Web.HttpClient?

    Because the System.Net.Http and System.Net.Http.Headers namespaces might not be available in future versions of Windows for use by Windows Store apps. It is stated in the official documentation on MSDN here:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/dn469431.aspx
    "Starting with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, use Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient in the Windows.Web.Http namespace and the related Windows.Web.Http.Headers and Windows.Web.Http.Filters namespaces instead for Windows Store apps."
    And the Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient class is supported from Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/windows.web.http.httpclient.aspx
    Hope that helps.

  • Which version of JDeveloper should I use for Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2?

    I am developing a stand alone application using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3, because I don't want to use the OAF extension. Can I run this stand alone application using Oracle Applications server (Oracle Applications version 11.5.10.2)? If no, which JDeveloper version should I use? If yes, could you please provide some direction on the deployment of stand alone application? Thanks in advance.

    If you are using the application server that comes with Oracle Applications - you probably need to use the JDeveloper version that comes with that one too. (The OAF forum will have more info on this).
    If you are using JDeveloper 10.1.3 then you can use a stand alone OC4J 10.1.3 to deploy your applications - and save yourself the hassle of messing up with your apps server.

  • Question on what CR 2008 report type to use for a report

    Post Author: JohnN
    CA Forum: General
    Hi all,
            I am new to Crystal Reports and have been tasked with using Crystal Reports 2008 to create a report. I have attached an image of what the report needs to look like. The report needs to look like a table, with the 5 left columns being summary info and there can be multiple rows from the 6th column on for each summary row. I have looked through Crystal Reports samples but cannot see anything similar. 
    Question . Could someone give me some quick general pointers on how this report could be implemented with Crystal Reports 2008?
    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Thanks sharonmtowler,
                           I had started to look at the second option you suggested but I cannot see any way of having multiple rows for the one summary row (i.e. the 5 left columns are summary info and there can be multiple rows from the 6th column on for each summary row). I don't see anyway of doing this in a detail section of the report. Up to now I have been familiar with setting up Report Groups then supplying a command to get the detail info. from a database. I haven't seen any examples of having a row with summary info and multiple sub-rows. Is there some other way of selecting data that I am not aware of that will let me get the mutliple sub-rows
    Thanks
