While I was at a code camp in Minneapolis this weekend, several of my peers told me I could quickly spin up an FAQ bot, which would be far more interesting (and interactive) than a boring FAQ page. They said it could be done in minutes, and I was up for a challenge, so off…
Installing DirectX Link to the docs from Chuck Walbourn Where is the DirectX SDK? Starting with Windows 8, the DirectX SDK is included as part of the Windows SDK. 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…
My peer in the Bay Area, Christine Matheney (@Matheney), put together a bunch of information around TensorFlow today, and I thought it was relevant to my audience. I’ve been doing a lot of work with CUDA and DirectX on GPUs lately, so it was right down my alley! Christine has chatted with a number of people…
I love tinkering with GPUs, from my early computer days with a Voodoo 2 and Quake 2 (Ahhhh, the Glide made those games look gorgeous….) Recently Microsoft announced our Azure VMs with GPUs and their general availability. I figured I’d learn a bit more about them, and share the useful videos with you. Introduction…

Recently, our public sector (government) team had an opportunity to write about our three spaces across the United States, including San Francisco, New York, and Philadelphia. You can find that article here. ———————– @DaveVoyles Subscribe to my startup, tech, and…
I get asked this question all of the time, so I thought it was appropriate to explain exactly what this job is about and why I enjoy it so much. UPDATE: My peer in Philadelphia, Amanda Lange (@Second_Truth) put together a video illustrating what her experience has been like. Take a look and you…
At Microsoft we have an internal distribution group for retro computing and gaming. I stumbled across this gem from Hans Reutter the other day, and with his permission, had to share it! ———————– @DaveVoyles Subscribe to my startup, tech, and game dev newsletter
As an evangelist, half of my time is spent with technical communities and the other half is building technical content with companies across the country. One day I may be building asp.net projects on a Mac, and the next I am flying to Atlanta to present Machine Learning with Nvidia. They say “variety is the…
I just returned from the annual Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco after working at the Xbox booth, and we had several questions about our newly announced updates to the Xbox Live Creators Program. The biggest change is this: “Xbox Live will soon be open to all developers via the Xbox Live Creators Program –…
