Saptamana 10-16 octombrie - o saptamana plina


Saptamana care tocmai a trecut a fost o saptamana plina pentru mine. Doua evenimente importante erau trecute in calendar. Din aceasta cauza nu am avut timp sa scriu nimic pe blog.
Primul eveniment a avut loc in Sibiu, pe data de 13 octombrie, cand iQuest a deschis un nou sediu in Sibiu. Lansara a fost insotita de un eveniment organizat de catre iQuest impreuna cu Microsoft Romania, care s-a numit “Mobile in the Cloud”. Microsoft Romania a fost present cu doi prezentatori (George Pristavu si Petru Jucovschi) care ne-au introdus in lumea platformei Windows Azure si a Windows Phone 7. Invitatul special din partea iQuest a fost Bernd Kullick care este consultant pe Windows Azure la Microsoft Germania. Acesta ne-a prezentat arhitectura unei aplicatii pe cloud - Eye On Earth. In cadrul dezvoltarii acestei aplicatii a luat parte si iQuest. In cadrul ultimei prezentari am prezentat Sudoku7. O aplicatie pentru Windows Phone 7 care a fost integrata cu Windows Azure. A fost prima aplicatie pe care am scriso pe Windows Phone 7 si pot sa zic ca experienta a fost destul de frumoasa desi am avut de trecut cateva obstacole.
Ca de obicei Sibiul ne-a lasat o impresie frumoasa, in special noul sediu iQuest, care arata foarte bine. Din punctul meu de vedere evenimentul a iesit foarte bine. Lumea a fost interesata de eveniment dar si de iQuest. Fiecare participant plecand multumit acasa. Incepand din 13 octombrie, Sibiul apare si el pe harta iQuest.
Al doilea eveniment a fost in Cluj-Napoca. Radu Vunvulea impreuna cu Mihai Nadas au organizat un eveniment CODECAMP pentru dezvoltatorii .NET si nu numai din Cluj. Evenimentul a avut loc in 15 octombrie. Chiar daca a fost sambata, sala a fost plina pana la final (aproape 60 de persoane). iQuest s-a numarat printre sponsorii acestui eveniment, impreuna cu Microsoft si Yonder. Daca doriti sa urmariti prezentariile online, putem sa faceti acest lucru la adresa www.justin.tv/codecampcluj.
Cele mai mari emotii le aveam cu numarul de participant. Deoarece evenimentul a avut loc sambata, ne era frica sa nu avem sala goala. Dar din fericire Clujul nu ne-a dezamagit. Pe viitor pregatim si alte evenimente CODECAMP in Cluj-Napoca.
O sa revin saptamana urmatoare cu un post despre OAuth, pentru persoanele care nu au fost la evenimentul de sambata.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
