Cool stuff with collaboration, user experiences, automation
I've been a consultant for over 20 years: I've been the eager junior developer, the overworked IT guy, the senior developer, the over eager team lead, the under qualified architect. I love my career and where I am today, however, I've also taken a lot of time off and haven't always had great success with... Continue Reading →
I recently shared a post about an Easter Egg I created in the application I'm working on for my client. As fun as this is, I had to ask the question: should we? Easter Eggs are prevalent throughout consumer applications and websites, but what about enterprise software? What about the apps we use at work?... Continue Reading →
I've been a developer for 20 years and I've never made an easter egg. I finally have, in tribute to Netflix show Stranger Things. This is a super simple script, throw it into your app and then call window.upsideDown(). I set this up so that when a user was searching for the phrase Stranger Things... Continue Reading →
This is a great question and one I asked of a colleague of mine, Clark, on behalf of a customer. He and I had a great exchange of features and concepts on the two platforms. I'm grateful I get to work with experts like this :D Clark went so far as to create a great... Continue Reading →

I've been eyeballing To-Do for quite some time but never could commit since my stupid-large complex needs across all the aforementioned services. Then I decided to take... Continue Reading →
Check out my latest post on Slalom Technology's site. Microsoft describes Office 365 (O365) as a collaborate anywhere, on any device, solution. O365 is all about collaboration — and it’s true. The primary collaboration services in O365 are email and SharePoint, but there’s more than that. Many of the capabilities in O365 help supplement existing collaborative activities,...

The seamless "dev" experience between PowerApps and Flow is remarkable. I love how easy it is to create a Flow from PowerApps, and it just works. However, there's one issue I see that I wanted to share to help others prevent headaches down the road. When you're in PowerApps and create a Flow, or in... Continue Reading →
Microsoft has released its guidance and best practices: PowerApps and Microsoft Flow Governance and Deployment Whitepaper. It's a great document, I highly recommend it for anyone considering PowerApps, Flow and/or Common Data Service (CDS) for their enterprise. I find that a document of this stature to be intimidating to engineers, admins, and IT pros. It's 66... Continue Reading →
