In one of my projects where I've been refactoring a traditional .NET project into a .NET Core project, I used the Azure Storage nugets. As of this posting, the current version of the NuGet supports .NET Core which is awesome - but the dependencies doesn't. Why is this a problem? Well, because if you want to migrate this code to run on .NET core and you rely on the Windows Azure Storage NuGet Package, it will not be possible to run it in .NET Core currently. That's why I chose to use the Azure Storage REST API instead for all…

Background This blog post will be about how to in the easiest way possible (well, as a developer anyway) export a JSON template from the Azure Resource Manager.

One of the things I've been looking for is an automatic way to move resources between my resource groups. In this post we'll quickly check out how to do just that, using…
In one of the projects I’ve been involved we’ve looked at various solutions for providing analytics to users, site owners and system administrators. Most services offer a great way for webmasters or site administrators to review how their site or system is being visited – but there’s few options for letting the users of your system review specific data themselves. In order to get around this I built on top of the Google Analytics API’s, enabling my application to post queries for analytics data directly to the Google Analytics API. This enables (for example) a site owner…
