Hello. I just recently tried this environment and was impressed enough that I have purchased a license! Really very neat.
I have mostly been working on creating UIs so far but now it is time for some actual application development and I have a few questions.
First:
I need to get the device location. Are there any examples of using external APIs (in my case the Geolocation API) that I could look at? OR even better are there any plans for wrapping things like this in libraries I can access in C#? Will there eventually be libraries to access other things like the camera?
Second:
My preferred way of storing and accessing data from mobile apps is through Azure Mobile Services (OData). Are there any examples of accessing an OData data source?
Quite honestly if I could access sensors and the camera and access OData either through existing javascript libraries or what not, I would be able to use CSHTML5 for a real project! and that is pretty good for a beta tool.
