Did you know there is a native QRCode scanner inside your Windows Phone? It’s been moved around from Windows Phone (7,75,8) and in 8.1, it’s now part of your camera, as a lens named Bing Vision.
This quick screen cast shows you how / where to find and use the QRCode scanner.
You just realized you don’t have your phone in your pocket or purse! #Panic! #Panic! You’re also safety conscience, and you have a lock on your phone. Now all the good people of the world, have been limited on how they can return your phone. You’re only hope is you remember where it is, and go back and get it. Sure there is Login to WindowsPhone.com and use the FindMyPhone feature. OK, I’ll give you that. Remote Ring, Remote Secure Wipe …. those are nice features. This nice little app, by Scott Hanselman ( @shanselman on twitter ) will also help get your phone back the next time you leave it behind!
This quick video/screen cast shows you how to setup the app, and add your private information to the lock screen on your phone.
When you hear that new (or old) song on the radio, or in a club, wouldn’t it be great if you could grab a copy and save it on your phone? Well you can, and it’s **VERY** easy to do with Cortana on Windows Phone 8.1
This is a quick video/screen cast that listens to the radio, grabs a song, and adds to it a new playlist.
Microsoft Azure Websites is Pure Awesome. The speed and amount of work that can be done in a very short period of time is just amazing.
Today, I’m sharing a feature that I’ve been waiting for, for a long time. Wildcard support for DNS and SSL Certificates. In the past, you could use a wildcard certificate, but because Wildcard DNS wasn’t supported, you had to manually enter your sub domains one-by-one. This doesn’t scale very well.
In this screen cast I show you how to setup a *.Wildcard DNS and SSL under an Azure Website. It’s just shy of 5 minutes.
I have also been deeply involved with local, regional, and global developer relations communities. Working with many cloud technologies, I currently hold several Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud certifications.
