Microsoft Azure provides a perfect solution for those with a subscription (BizSpark, MSDN etc.) to test out the previews of various software. I can immediately think of Visual Studio 2015 Preview and Windows 10 Technical Preview. If you don’t want to download the ISO’s or don’t want to set up your own VM to test them on, Microsoft Azure is the way you want to go. (more…)

The great thing about meeting new people is that you invariably take away a little bit of who they are. I have been following Michael’s blog for a while now and it was really great to catch up with him.
I had the privilege of asking him a few questions about himself, Telerik, XAML and IT in general. What I took away was that Michael is an extremely humble man, given all that he is involved with. Check out the Q&A below, and learn more about Michael Crump.

Conflicted suo files are the bane of every developer’s existence. I have been using SVN as my code repository for years now. I must admit that I probably don’t know it as well as I should. Unfortunately I know it as well as I need to, which is a totally different thing. You see, developers are generally lazy. Why re-do work if you can do it once and re-use.
The same can be said of what we know about the tools we use. Once we are comfortable with what we know and can work with, we somehow fail to learn more. Call it knowing just enough to be functional, call it lazy, call it what you want. Somehow, I feel that we should learn more. (more…)
