Robert gave a talk about how LightSwitch can help developers build mobile APIs and HTML5 apps faster by automating common development tasks and boring code, allowing them to focus on adding unique value. LightSwitch is a tool that streamlines creating the technical requirements for apps so they can be developed more quickly, connecting to data sources like SQL Server and exposing them through OData for mobile and HTML5 clients.
