So I’m doing some prototyping at the moment and one of the most frustrating aspects of getting started with any prototype is capturing the: Flow Main Screens Specification I think in mind maps, so one of my biggest problems when starting a new project is setting up the high-level map of how everything is going to connect together. The second issue I have is I want to capture the essence and linkage of each screen, but not in painful detail, just enough so someone can infer the underlying data model and application behavior.

So a while back I blogged a little sample code on how to get some info about what’s happening inside your instance using a simple process within a web page. Looking Inside Windows Azure! Well, I decided to refresh this code sample using one of my favorite features, InputEndpoints ! So let’s take a quick tour of the sample. At a high level, this is what’s going on: Let’s dig deeper.

So I’ve been working on a project, and I came across a little challenge that I thought folks may be interested in the solution to. So, the problem is this, I have a dependency on a bunch of files that I need access to from my worker role in the cloud and dev fabric.
So I was having lunch with our Programmer Writer, Tamra Myers the other day, and we got onto the conversation of documentation. I’m a huge Huge HUGE fan of documentation, in fact, when I coded in anger, I was known for my extensive, well written, downright Elizabethan doco. I was then having lunch with Simon Guest on a different day and we got onto the topic of doco too, in fact, we were talking about some research he had done into how much of MSDN doco actually had code samples! You might start seeing a trend emerge… yes, I love to eat lunch with passionate doco people! So what has this got to do with the price of Tzatziki in Redmond ?

So I was talking to an old friend yesterday about building software, and we both came to the conclusion that there are some things you need to learn: From books From others From doing We then got onto the topic of cloud computing, he works in the same space, so it was a great context to place on our conversation. Taking the thinking further, we both realized that when we decomposed our jobs into buckets, we arrived at: Working with customers – This is the most important element, and the only way to sharpen your skills are to engage real customers, books are pretty much useless in this area, and while you can learn some tricks from others, nothing beats logging hours in the field. Core engineering – This is bread and butter stuff, and doesn’t really change depending on what your working on

OK, so MattT (thanks for the feedback on my blog too Matt 
) pinged me and asked if something had changed in the way Live ID auth worked in Windows Azure. He was looking around Bing for some samples, and came across this post but couldn’t get it working. You’re right Matt, there was a change

So one of the things I like to do, all of the time, is trace. It started when I was a little child, and the rest of the kids could draw really good and stuff, and I couldn’t, so I would get pictures of horses and trace around them… Now that I’m older, I still can’t draw, let alone code, very well, so I still trace
