In my previous post (http://thinkfirstcodelater.com/blog/?p=3387) I showed
you how to use the Windows Azure Cross Platform command line tools to update
a scheduled job associated with a Windows Azure Mobile Services. In this post
I’ll show you how to use the tools to delete a scheduled job.
Once again, just a reminder that I’m using the command line tools on a
MacBook Air with OSX (Mavericks) installed, and I’m using Google Chrome as
my default browser. However, the experience should be identical on Windows
and Linux as well.
Open an instance of your command line (Terminal, Bash, Command Prompt, etc.)
and type the following:
azure mobile job delete -h
As you can see the azure mobile job delete command is the command to use to
delete a job associated with a Windows Azure Mobile Service. You simply need
to provide the name of the mobile service the job you want to d... (more)
Enterprises are increasingly being called upon to provide a high level of
user experience with compelling and interactive content. Serving enterprise
content and data securely to internet / intranet has become a very common
necessity and is routinely handled by web servers. Web services technology,
on the other hand, addresses the application-to-application transparent
interaction over the web using industry standards. Delivery of web services
can also be handled by databases which are responsive to HTTP requests. In
this article a simple example of serving a static web page containing dynamic
content from a SQL Anywhere 11 database server is described. The web page has
examples of jQuery, DOJO, as well as an embedded ADOBE flash file.

This is the SharePoint book for the end-user that wants to become a
power-user. It covers a ton of topics and it covers them in-depth.
The book is not intended for SharePoint developers for SharePoint
administrators, although most SharePoint developers and administrators are
also power users. So the book will come in handy when you're simply using
share point as an end-user.
I have listed the table of contents below to give you an idea of what is
covered in the book.
1. Introducing SharePoint 2013

I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having
said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because
they can only give you answers."
Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would
share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application
pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered.
From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed.
What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX?
Eric Miraglia of Yahoo!
1. (From March'08) How do I calculate the ROI of building my RIA on the
iPhone SDK vs using AJAX?
2. How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to
make it faster?

Social Media on Ulitzer
RIAbiz.com recently discussed the findings of an August 24-25, 2009
Investment News survey conducted on the Twitter habits of the
financial-advisory community. Not surprisingly the survey reveals that "a
mere 14.9% of financial advisers say they communicate with clients or
colleagues through Twitter. Meanwhile, only 44.9% and 43.8% of advisers say
they use LinkedIn and Facebook, respectively, the survey found".
Have RIAbiz.com and Investment News missed the point? It's not about
Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn! It's about communicating with one's
customers and clients utilizing ALL the tools available!
So, what's my point?
Practical, functional, and sensible go a long way to enhancing the

Didn’t make it to TechEd this year? Don’t worry. This month, we’ll be
releasing a new article series that highlights the Best of TechEd
announcements and technical information for IT Pros. Today’s article
focuses on a new, much-heralded enhancement to Windows Azure Infrastructure
Services to make it more cost-effective for spinning VMs up and down
on-demand on the Windows Azure cloud platform.
New: VMs that are shutdown from the Windows Azure Management Portal will no
longer continue to accumulate compute charges while stopped!
Previous to this enhancement being available, the Azure platform maintained
fabric resource reservations for VMs, even in a shutdown state, to ensure
consistent resource availability when starting those VMs in the future.
And, this meant that VMs had to be exported and completely deprovisioned
when not in use to avoid compute charges.

The evolution of Web sites to dynamic rich interactive applications is a true
revolution for users. But for ASP.NET developers tasked with building
high-performing scalable applications, it presents major challenges. The
features that characterize blogs, wikis, personalized pages, and other
data-driven Web 2.0 applications fundamentally change processing,
transmission, and rendering workloads, and require new approaches and
solutions. In Web 2.0 applications:
• Content is highly dynamic, with the most of the content generated by
users. The popularity of individual pages or the application itself can
change rapidly, making it extremely difficult to anticipate workload and
traffic volume.

We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smart...

Companies are harnessing data in ways we once associated with science fiction. Analysts have access to a plethora of visualization and reporting tools, but considering the vast amount of data businesses collect and limitations of CPUs, end users are forced to design their structures and systems with limitations. Until now. As the cloud toolkit to analyze data has evolved, GPUs have stepped in to massively parallel SQL, visualization and machine learning. 
How much does it cost to make an app is almost as popular a question as it is confusing.
No one tries to learn the exact costs of, say, making a movie: people realize that there’s an overwhelming amount of variables involved on which they depend.
But almost every day a new inquiry is posted on a tech forum, Quora, or Reddit as to how much it’d take to build a mobile business app. 
The developments in Google’s Cloud Computing segment, especially the Cloud Machine Learning service, have been so rapid that Google calls it one of its fastest growing product areas. Google has been ramping up their Cloud Platform quite aggressively in recent months.
