I just returned from one of Microsoft’s Open Hack events in Toronto, where we coded alongside engineers from several other companies across the region. Link to the GitHub repository One of the challenges required that we’d be able to deploy a trained model to Azure, which would expose an HTTP endpoint. From there, we’d be…
I gave a talk to one of our internal groups at Microsoft today on Progressive Web Apps, PWAs, and thought the notes would also be helpful for those of you interested. I’ve recorded videos on Hosted Web Apps in the past, and they are equally useful, so I’d suggest taking a look at those first.…

We originally created the DirectX SDK as a high-performance platform for game development on top of Windows. As DirectX technologies matured, they became relevant to a broader…
I’ve always been a fan of the demoscene work, as it pushes hardware to its absolute limits. You know those old consoles you played in the 80s and 90s? Well they were capable of so much more, if only the programmers had time to dedicate towards mastering the device. And that’s exactly what demoscene is. This…
