If you haven't read my previous post on push notifications for Windows 8 applications, you may want to do so before continuing with the next few articles, which are a deeper dive into the development of a cloud service to support a specific Windows Store application.
To provide a more concrete scenario, I’ve developed a Windows Store application called Boys of Summer (no, it’s not actually in the store… yet?). As you might gather from the title, it’s a baseball related app and provides information about the various Major League teams. Part of the functionality of the application is to keep you up-to-date on off-season team developments like trades, management changes, etc. And, of course, push notifications are a great way to implement that.
