Recently Steve Marx and I spent a few hours working on a best practices document for Windows Azure. As expected, this was a fun and educational experience – plenty of goofing around, but also some really good discussion on things to think about when building applications for Windows Azure. One of the items we discussed [...] Blog Post by: Wade

I’m not sure how many other people on the planet may want to do this, but I developed a technique which I thought was really cool, and is somewhat non-obvious, so I thought I’d blog about it. When I develop, out of years of habit, I always install my development environment in a virtual machine, leaving the host with just my productivity software like Outlook. However, the Windows Phone emulator is not supported in a virtual machine. This forced me into installing in my host machine, leaving me with...

I’ll be at DevCamp:Cloud this Friday at the UC Irvine campus. The L.A. event was sold out, and most stayed all day. Lots of good info. See you there? Register here at https://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032507377&Culture=en-US Blog Post by: Brian Loesgen

Last week the question of HTML5 and sensors came up. This wasn’t really strange as we where talking about the HTML5 GeoLocation features and using the, optional, GPS is just one device or sensor you might want to use. It turns out the W3C has a Device APIs Working Group working on this problem. They are working on a whole range of interesting devices like: Battery Status API Contacts API HTML Media Capture Media Capture API Network Information API Sensor API Vibration API Calendar API MediaStream...

This past week I’ve been working on a little project – amazing how less email equates to more time for other endeavors – and I was surprised when I received a DataServiceQueryException when querying table storage in the local storage emulator. I was querying based on partition and row keys and, if no data matched [...] Blog Post by: Wade

It’s been a little more than three weeks since I announced my departure from Microsoft. Leaving Microsoft was harder than I expected and I never anticipated the outpouring of support and appreciation from everyone. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Today I’m really excited to share that I’ve joined Aditi Technologies as Chief [...] Blog Post by: Wade

I hadn’t really been paying attention to the popularity of browsers a whole lot for the last few months until this week as I was teaching HTML5 and the usage stats influence what is usable and what not. Sure I heard some time ago that Chrome was larger then IE but as most of these statistics are more about politics then anything else I tend to ignore them and just check some sites I know are producing real numbers for me. And the best I know way is to compare Google Analytics on some large sites...

When a single appdomain is opening two (or more) service bus relay endpoints that have the same path (what is added after the servicebus.windows.net), but have a different namespace, the following exception is raised: A registration already exists for URI xxx

How to create a report containing the CPU usage of a BizTalk host instance using SCOM.

jQuery is one of the most useful frameworks out there for web development. And while most of jQuery is very much about working with the browser DOM there is also another side to it that makes doing networking real easy and that is all based around the $.ajax() and related, like the $.getJSON() , functions. Now HTML5 contains a real useful part in Web Workers for doing work that should not block the background thread. And using the XMLHttpRequest for network IO is fine in a Web Worker. Unfortunately...
