In previous articles I explained how you can build bots using the Microsoft Bot Framework and the Azure Bot Service. The latter is built on top of Azure Functions, one of my favorite components in Azure. Both the Functions and Bot teams are releasing stuff in a fast pace, but sometimes this leads towards the

A while ago I was planning on doing a few posts on bots, but I never really got to that it seems. I did get into the bot building business though, so here’s one about a little bit more advanced use of bots: language understanding. And although I might write “more advanced”, I don’t really

It’s never a bad thing to look at what’s coming. This future peeking seems to be hot in the SharePoint world, with guys like Dan Holme, Benjamin Niaulin and Daniel McPherson giving their take on what’s in store for us. Interesting views which of course always include things like cloud, mobile devices and new ways of working for your

Vandaag werd er in de tweede kamer gestemd over het ESM: het Europees Stabiliteits Mechanisme. Sommige van u zijn daar niet zo blij mee, vooral mensen die sowieso al niet zo pro-Europa zijn. Ronduit bedroevend vind ik de reacties onder het artikel op nu.nl die je hier kunt lezen. Ik zal niet flauw zijn en

We have several claims based site on which we use Forms based authentication alongside Windows based authentication. The forms based users were regularly complaining that the “Remember me” checkbox “wasn’t working”. Well as usual, it seemed to work for me so at first, I blamed it on cookie policies, cleaner tools, stuff like that. But
