explains how to build data-centric business applications for the
desktop, cloud, web, and mobile devices in just a few clicks--with no
code required--using Visual Studio Lightswitch 2015. This book explains
the basics of Visual Studio Lightswitch 2015 plus new features and key
advanced topics that every Microsoft developer needs to know to create
modern data services and build clients that can run on multiple devices.

developers building, enhancing, and deploying advanced business
applications using LightSwitch makes sense because they can benefit from

their clients value.
