How to access Azure Mobile App Service?

Question

I want to use Azure Mobile App Service, and from what I understand, it should be accessable through App Services resource. However, when I want to create a new App Service resource, I got directed to 'Create Web App' instead. Is Web App and App Services the same thing? Thank you.

Azure App Service enables you to build and host web apps, mobile back ends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure. When you refer Azure Web App, you actually refer the Azure App Service itself.

Azure Mobile Apps SDKs allows you to integrate application with Azure App Service and your mobile application easily.
