I originally wrote this article for Codementor in October 2014. It should have something for everyone, from fairly new git users to experienced developers.by bill-s, 2018-07-14T05:40:26.280Z
Browsers now universally support Web Assembly which opens the door to new languages and coding paradigms for building client side web applications. In this episode, Dave introduces Blazor, a framework for building client side web apps using .NET. That's right, .NET (and Razor) running natively in the browser! No, this isn't Silverlight, this is infinitely more awesome than Silverlight.by bill-s, 2018-07-18T05:59:44.100Z
Byron Tardif joins Scott Hanselman to discuss Azure App Service Web Apps, the best way to build and host web applications in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure. It offers auto-scaling and high availability, supports both Windows and Linux, and enables automated deployments from GitHub, Visual Studio Team Services, or any Git repo.by bill-s, 2018-07-14T05:39:10.412Z
I discovered a hidden gem in ASP.NET Core a couple of weeks ago that can help to build up and parse URL’s called QueryHelpers. Here’s how you can use it to build a URL using the AddQueryString method...by bill-s, 2018-07-14T05:38:11.202Z
Whilst Microsoft’s mobile offering is well and truly dead, their push to provide platform agnostic solutions for developers is alive and well. Xamarin.Forms’ growth has accelerated since Microsoft purchased Xamarin back in 2016 and with .NET Core & .NET Standard providing a simple way to create libraries for all targets easily, C# is becoming a go-to language for creating quality software that scales. That being said, the ecosystem for mobile app development is also evolving and it’s not hard to get the idea that Xamarin.Forms may not be the go-to solution for mobile app development. Both iOS & Android have beloved languages for native applications in Swift and Kotlin respectively whilst other solutions such as React Native and Flutter achieve what Xamarin.Forms can do without the need for an IDE and heavy toolset. This doesn’t even take into account Progressive Web Applications; an approach to app development in which well crafted, JavaScript driven web applications look and feel like native apps you wouldn’t expect to run in a browser.by bill-s, 2018-07-18T06:01:31.175Z
Blockchain has captured the attention of the business and technology world as a way to streamline business processes, verify transactions, and reduce the potential for fraud. This article introduces Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) in Microsoft Azure, showing how it can be used to build a secured data structure and create a distributed transactional digital ledger.by bill-s, 2018-07-18T06:08:30.602Z
Azure Service Fabric is a highly-scalable distributed systems platform to build and manage scalable microservices and container-based applications for Windows and Linux. Service Fabric is a foundational technology powering core Azure infrastructure, as well as other Microsoft cloud services such as Skype for Business, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure SQL Database, Dynamics 365, and many more.by bill-s, 2018-07-14T05:43:40.168Z
We built a brand-new SQL Server 2016 cluster to move databases from an older SQL Server version and older hardware, but I had a hard time convincing the database owners to move their databases to the newer and faster hardware. So, I built a model to show them the differences.by bill-s, 2018-07-18T06:06:38.629Z
The “Serverless Apps: Architecture, Patterns, and Azure Implementation” eBook, authored by Jeremy Likness, is a guide for cloud native development of applications using serverless compute. This eBook highlights the benefits of serverless architectures, as well as the potential drawbacks of developing serverless apps. Additionally, the book covers a few different serverless design patterns.by bill-s, 2018-07-18T05:58:25.382Z
I have a program that parses data from both delimited files and Excel spreadsheets. I was trying out Span to speed up parsing the delimited files, but the ref struct restrictions mean I can't just hide the two different file formats behind an interface (without the small added overhead of repeatedly pulling Spans from Memory).by bill-s, 2018-07-19T00:12:59.306Z
Beginning today, Microsoft Teams is available in a free version worldwide in 40 languages. This offer was designed for small businesses and groups of coworkers that don’t have commercial Office 365 subscriptions. Now with this great introductory experience, any group can use Teams as their hub for teamwork and discover the value of Office 365 as they grow and scale.by bill-s, 2018-07-18T06:01:01.204Z
Imagine that,in the not too distant future, you’re the designer of a smart traffic intersection. Your smart intersection has four video cameras connected to an Internet of things (IoT) device with a small CPU, similar to a Raspberry Pi. The cameras send video frames to the IoT device, where they’re analyzed using a machine learning (ML) image-recognition model and control instructions are then sent to the traffic signals. One of the small IoT devices is connected to Azure Cloud Services, where information is logged and analyzed offline.by bill-s, 2018-07-18T05:58:48.951Z

On March 20, 2018 we announced the availability of Windows Server 2019 preview, the next Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) release in the Windows Insider program. Seven weeks later, we released Windows Server, version 1803, the latest release in the Semi-Annual Channel. The Semi-Annual Channel primarily focuses on rapid application development. New cloud-born applications or migrated (“lift-and-shift”) traditional applications benefit significantly from the isolation, predictability, and orchestration offered by containers. Of course, container orchestrators are also cloud-based, which means that there is very little need to run an interactive desktop on the host operating system in these scenarios, so we’ve only included the Server Core installation option in the Semi-Annual Channel. Now that we’re about to release on both channels, and that we’re including the Server with Desktop Experience on only one of the channels, it’s a good time to talk about Server Core versus Server with Desktop Experience.by bill-s, 2018-07-14T05:50:01.663Z
In the first part of the series we’ve covered the easy way to publish your Progressive Web Apps to the Microsoft Store as they are. While there are benefits from doing just that and stopping there (discoverability and promotability in the Store, basic stats, etc.), you likely want to take advantage of additional opportunities that open by running as a native Windows app and having access to the majority of Windows APIs.by bill-s, 2018-07-18T05:59:29.741Z
Recently, I was at Boston Code Camp catching up with some old friends and looking to learn about containers or anything that could help me in my current project of migrating a microservices application to run in containers. I was speaking with one friend who had just presented a session on Polly, and he made a comment that got my attention. He said that one of the attendees at his session was under the impression that using the cloud would make his application inherently resilient and he would not need any of the features that Polly provides.by bill-s, 2018-07-14T05:39:31.282Z
In this post, we will learn about Azure Blob rehydration. Azure Storage support three different level of storage tiers Hot storage tier, Cool storage tier, and Archive storage tier. With the different level of storage tiers, you can choose what types of tier needs for your data. We use hot storage tier for those data which are accessed very frequently. Cool tier intended to access less than hot tiers, in general for at least 30 days. Archive tier is intended for long-term data backup or archival purpose and will remain in the tier for at least 180 days. Hot tier has the highest storage cost and lowest access cost, whereas the archive tier has the lowest storage cost and highest access cost. You may read more about these access tier from here.by kszicsillag, 2018-07-16T08:53:56.070Z
In this series of blogposts we are building an ecosystem for hosting a large-scale, multi-domain knowledge base called Wikidata in Azure. In the first leg of the series, we are aiming to run simple analytic queries over Wikidata. First, we transfer the Wikidata dump to Azure, then load it in Azure Data Lake Analytics. By following through with the posts, you will get familiar with a few of the big-data related tools and services of Azure, like Blob Storage, Data Factory, Data Lake Store and Data Lake Analytics.
