Working on a project, I encountered a situation I couldn’t wrap my head around. The project includes a (rather simple) ASP.NET Web API project which is published to an Azure App Service instance. Up to now, all of the endpoints I was calling I had secured using Azure AD authentication which is a breeze to

In this blog post I will not be adding any new functionality to my aquarium monitor project. Instead, I’m going to replace already existing functionality. Not because that’s needed, but just because I can š We’ll be looking at replacing our webjob instance using something new which is calledĀ Azure Functions. If you didn’t read itĀ or

Today Microsoft revealed “The future of SharePoint” in a dedicatedĀ event. There was some hyping in the weeks towards this as you might expect, so everyone including meĀ was sitting tight to hear what was coming. I watched the entire presentation and although there were some very awesome things in there, I can’t help feeling not overly

If you’ve read my post on Azure Stream Analytics, you’ve seen how you can configure a reference data blob to be used to compare incoming IoT data with certain thresholds.

If you have Windows IoT running on your Raspberry Pi and like me you’re a Windows Insider running a recent insider build (in my caseĀ 10.0.14295.1000), you might have noticed the “Remote” option in the UI. This allows you to enable a simple version of “Remote Desktop”-like functionality. In my case, clicking the checkbox in the

Hey there! Welcome back again to post #7 in my Internet of Things aquarium monitor series. In this series I’m explaining how to use Windows 10 IoT and Azure to read out sensor data, process it and act on it. And that “act on it” part is what we’ll take a look at in this

Finally! PostĀ #6 in my blog seriesĀ on building an aquarium monitor solution using Azure! In my last postĀ we created a Web API project which provides an API for any application to use. In this post, we’ll take a look at creating an Apache Cordova application for use on mobile phones. This app will consume the API

This is post #5 in my blog series about the subject. In the previous postĀ I explained how Azure stream analytics processes all of the incoming messages and places them in the sinks you configure. In my case, messages are now being written to Azure storage blobs, where they reside as CSV files. In this post,

These days I’m working a lot with Android emulators. Both the Google as well as the Visual Studio one rely on visualization technology, but different ones. The problem with this is that only one of two technologies can be in use at the same time. For Android I needed Intel HAXM (Hardware Accelerated eXecution Manager)

Those of you who might follow me on Twitter (@jsiegmund) might have seen this tweet about my Azure credits running out fast: This was caused by the Azure IoT suite remote monitoring sample, which eats up your credits very fast when you leave it running. Now wouldn’t it be nice if there were some way
