Jaspers' Weblog My personal blog about me, my work and what I like.
If you’re an Office365 user, you will probably have noticed by now that the new look & feel dubbed ‘modern’ (which is a stupid name, but aight…) is slowly but steadily making it’s way into more and more parts of the overall experience. I like the modern look. It’s crispy fresh, more in-line with modern
I ran into this error debugging my Cordova app from Visual Studio, running the debugger locally instead of on my device. After logging into Azure Active Directory with valid credentials, the page would display this error: “You do not have permission to view this directory or page.” As this was the second time I had
In my aquarium monitor series I showed how to build an application to monitor a fish tank. The use of the Azure IoT components allow us to easily build these kinds of solutions based on generic components. It also allows us to scale, which makes it very suitable for scenarios with lots of devices or data. Should
My previous post just now was on the topic of Microsoft Flow, the workflow-style application that allows you to perform “if this, than that” type logic linking different applications together. Basically, Flow provides you a way of automating actions by having a set of triggers, some logic and using API’s to perform actions. It wraps
Here’s a very short post for you. I’ve been playing around with Microsoft Flow a bit, a new workflow-type tool that allows you to connect services to each other.

It’s been a few months now since I’ve posted the source code of Submerged on GitHub and started making some noise about it on hobbyist forums like ukaps. My main goal doing so was to gather feedback about which features people would want to see to convince them to use a solution like submerged. The number
Thrilled to announce that my session has been selected for Experts Live 2016. As the website says: “Experts live is THE event covering Microsoft Azure, Office365, Enterprise mobility suite, Operations management suite, Hyper-V and Windows”. I will be bringing a little IoT to the mix with my session on how I used Azure IoT components to
In a previous post you can read how I used Apache Cordova to create a client application that is linked to my back-end API hosted in Azure. For authentication, I made use of the built in authentication options of the Azure Mobile Apps plugin for Cordova (GitHub). This plugin simplifies the authentication flow process, which uses server flow
Previously I explained how I am using an Azure Notification Hub to send out notifications to a mobile application made with Cordova (read it here). This is cool, but in that scenario every notification was being sent out to every client. This is fine for some situations but in most cases you probably want some
If you’ve read my previous blog on Azure Stream Analytics, you know how Stream Analytics can be used to process all sorts of incoming data and send the end result to one or multiple outputs. This is particularly useful for ensuring the right data is saved, manipulating the data before saving or only filtering out
