- [Continuous Delivery Architecture, A Rainbow of Tools](https://imseandavis.com/2019/03/05/continuous-delivery-architecture-has-a-penchant-for-transformation/): The Age of Architecture Architecture is one of those universal roles that no matter the job, its critical you have a good understanding of the architecture to be successful in both development and operations. As with any architectural role, there are so many moving parts that if you can’t see the machine for the cog you’ll never be able to master your craft. The problem seems that because of the siloed nature of business no one but those in architecture get the lay of the land, it is in this challenge, Continuous Delivery Architecture was created to help ALL practitioners...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [IQ, EQ and MQ: Assessing Your People](https://imseandavis.com/2019/02/06/iq-eq-and-mq-assessing-your-people/): A peer recently asked me to sum up how I was able to assess people quickly to know who the top performers were and what challenges I would have with other personalities and levels of performance. There are three core traits that I use to evaluate performance in an organization vs. labeling via A, B, or C player. Labeling people unnecessarily breeds contention. It’s better to analyze core behavior and draw conclusions based on factual data. So here is a short description of how I currently assess behavior and performance. I start with my three core categories: IQ – Intelligence...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day – Day 30](https://imseandavis.com/2018/05/30/1016/): My Journey to Center of Apple Due to not being able to use devices at the summit, I took the weekend to collate all the data about my experiences, pricing, and investments, etc. So that I could lay it all out for you. For those of you who are skipping to the end to see the results, your really shorting yourself and you’re going to be missing out on all the day to day challenges and solutions through the 30 days. Products First thing I thought may be important to know is the total investment and where to get everything, so I’ve made an...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [Azure Service Bus, Cheaper By The Hour](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/26/azure-service-bus-cheaper-by-the-hour/): A new announcement from Microsoft shows how the billing for Azure Service Bus is changing from daily and monthly to hourly billing for standard and premium tiers; thus moving them closer to a usage model that closes the pricing gap between constantly used resources and rarely used resources. One thing I’ve always loved about Microsoft Azure is that as the application evolves Microsoft doesn’t shy away from making it more powerful and cost-effective at the same time. Generally, this is a sliding scale in which you have to compromise. But with Azure, you can have your cake and eat it too.

- [An Apple A Day - Day 29](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/25/an-apple-a-day-day-29/): Summit Meeting! Haven’t really gotten to put my iDevices through the paces on the road so this is exciting to be able to do before the end of the road (in the series) so to speak. I also picked up a couple of things off Amazon to make life a little easier. First, I bought a Lightning cable to Ethernet Adapter. This will keep those pesky wireless issues that happen with new venues at bay and give me an alternative method to connect. Plus it comes with a little built-in blue light so you know when it’s on. Best of all it’s plug...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 28](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/24/an-apple-a-day-day-28/): Coming to the End of the Beginning of my Journey Today was fun and interesting as I had to visit the Microsoft office and of course, I’m the only guy with an Apple. I’m asked repeatedly by everyone I encounter the question I always love answering. Why? I take pleasure in every interaction as one who has been on both sides of the fence and can clearly articulate not only your requirements but the benefits and downfalls of both sides. I believe you have a much more productive conversation and those who ask don’t feel like the answer is a superiority conversation.

- [Open Source DevOps PowerShell Module](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/24/open-source-devops-powershell-module/): There’s a growing need for automation to implement skeleton projects for DevOps deployments and application migrations. It requires a fair amount of finesse and some scripting magic. So for this need, I created the start of a small PowerShell module to help solve that problem. The Pledge A colleague a while back contacted me and asked if there was anything in PowerShell that could do certain things in the VSTS stack. After some thought and a couple of hours, I’m proud to present an open source project of a simple set of commands that could be run from PowerShell to...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 27](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/23/an-apple-a-day-day-27/): Reflections Today was a day of reflection of the journey and thinking back to some of the challenges I had when I began and some of the things I’ve discovered for better or for worse in the last few weeks using this new platform. I wish I had been more understanding and open-minded about trying Apple but I was a super hardcore Android fan. There are still those nagging things I miss about Android like easier to root or the ability to root at all. SidSideloadings much easier, and the limits imposed on the App store and 3rd party apps...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 26](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/22/an-apple-a-day-day-26/): Pokemon Go! Spent most of the day Pokemon hunting with the wife accidentally as we had actually gone out to buy a large amount of copper pipe to build a closet shelving system for her. The Apple watch experience, as always, was second to none for it’s Pokemon Go companion app that allows you to just walk around and not only get credit for exercise but hatch Pokemon eggs at the same time. Siri For those of you who are less inclined to play games, I have something for you as well. You can use Siri to do a wide...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 25](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/21/an-apple-a-day-day-25/): iPad & Microsoft Global Azure Boot Camp Today is the day! Time to go full on Live at a huge event and see how this new platform performs. Armed with an iPad, AppleTV, and Logitech Spotlight I am poised and ready to deliver an exceptional experience using my new tools of the trade and for a Microsoft only solution nonetheless. This folks is where the rubber really meets the road. How your platform or device performs with native and built-in tech is one thing but using it to demo another vendors platform and tools is a testament to how flexible...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>

- [An Apple A Day - Day 24](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/20/an-apple-a-day-day-24/): It’s almost go time! Presentations: I updated the PowerPoint presentation as if it has been edited in desktop Powerpoint and was unprepared when I was met with having to save it again as iPad PowerPoint. Haven’t quite figured out why this is a problem, but the presentation was negligible and worked the same regardless. I also decided to try out Keynote on the advice of a friend. Keynote didn’t like certain powerpoint presentations and wouldn’t open the files at all, so this option at least for now is a no go. Changing too much the day before is something I’m not too keen on...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [ARM Templates For MAC - A Call For Feature Parity](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/20/arm-templates-for-mac-a-call-for-feature-parity/): Call To Action Come one, come all. We are rallying for Microsoft to add features to allow Mac users of Visual Studio 2017 and onward to install the Azure SDK installation bundled with PowerShell so Mac users will be able to deploy ARM templates as they would in Windows. The Case For those of you who know me, I give a lot of talks on ARM and Azure as it’s near and dear to my heart.

- [An Apple A Day - Day 23](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/19/an-apple-a-day-day-23/): Push it to the limit Today I tried to discover new things to do with my Apple devices and push the limits of things I had done in the past. I committed to learning how to do one new thing and how to improve on one thing I was already doing. I started with paying for lunch, it was simple enough to set up my ApplePay with a credit card so I could auto pay on the Square readers in the lunchroom. This was a relatively shallow learning curve and I encourage everyone with an Apple watch to set this up. It’s simple and easy and secure to...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 22](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/18/an-apple-a-day-day-22/): Interview Day!! Today I had several interviews lined up and got to try out the scribe abilities of the iPad Pro. This was great as I could make the call, pop in my AirPods and then flip over to another app entirely and walk around, sit wherever I want and interview relaxed and not tied to a desk, phone, or single location. Interview Styles Interview 1: For my first interview I decided that I would go for a walk and just have a conversation then transcribe my notes afterward.

- [Azure Monitor Voice Calling, Coming To A Cell Phone Near You!](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/18/azure-monitor-voice-calling-coming-to-a-cell-phone-near-you/): Finally, a feature that I have long awaited….. Azure Monitor Voice Call is not in GA! So for those not familiar with Azure Monitor, there are some really great features that allow for plugging into the monitoring infrastructure to fire certain events. Such as using alerts to trigger automated actions like autoscale, webhooks, emails, or starting an Azure Automation runbook. However, one thing missing I’ve always personally wanted is a voice call to notify me of really critical issues. This makes sense, especially for your “on-call” support staff, who mostly either have assigned phone numbers or an “on call” phone already....<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 21](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/17/an-apple-a-day-day-21/): Strange Happenings! A new experience emerges! I’ve had several strange happenings around having to constantly enter the iTunes store password and notifications that a watch was added to my account, my wife asked the traditional IT Crowd response, Have you tried turning it off and back on again? To which, I replied no, I haven’t rebooted my watch or phone since I got it 3 weeks ago. Upon reboot and entering my password again it went away. Wierd, I thought that joke was reserved exclusively for Windows products but seems the reboot monster is indiscriminate about the OS’s it hunts.

- [An Apple A Day - Day 20](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/16/an-apple-a-day-day-20/): Practicality & Ironing Out Experience Bugs I started by walking through the experience on iPad with PowerPoint. I wanted to make notes and highlight areas as I gave a presentation and to my surprise just how I thought it would work, I could magically use the pen, draw on my presentation and it even saves my ink overlays if I want. This was yet another very pleasant surprise, but it wasn’t very intuitively presented as an option. However, I am constantly amazed at the thought that goes into the experience of using an iPad and it’s accessories and apps. I haven’t...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 19](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/15/an-apple-a-day-day-19/): So This Happened… Today was a sad and busy one, by starting off with a notice from my favorite AppleTV app Dasher.tv. Apparently, they are going out of business and I now will have to migrate all my dashboards I have created to something else. This is a huge pain as I’ve spent quite a while creating a myriad of dashboards from client data to personal dashboards to status update dashboards. I know I could use PowerBI, but it’s overkill and is a job in itself to get up and running with some data points. I needed something more lightweight and that worked across...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 18](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/14/an-apple-a-day-day-18/): Decluttering…It needs to be done So today it’s all about decluttering. The first place I’m going to start is the 6 pages of apps I have accrued on my iPad. First things first, if you’re not familiar with App groups, it’s time to get acquainted as this is by far the easiest way to organize your apps. Long press and drag an app on top of another and it will create a group. Keep pressing and dragging alike apps into the same group and you will slowly but surely see one icon at a time drag their way to a...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 17](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/13/an-apple-a-day-day-17/): Presenting PowerPoint with AppleTV The client actually wanted to test out my AppleTV in a conference room vs. the ridiculous cluster of wires that we had no luck wading through to get a picture on the screen. Within 10 seconds the AppleTV was up and running and the best part was anyone in the room with an Apple device could share without passing cables around the table. It works well but wasn’t as seamless as I would have first thought as there are a few things I learned. Like setting a password for AirPlay. This could have prevented the short...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 16](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/12/an-apple-a-day-day-16/): Today was a pretty relaxed day. I gave a couple of presentations, a couple of Skype interviews of new candidates and took notes on some client feedback. OneNote & Office Lens OneNote was great for these tasks as well as Office Lens app. Office Lens allows you to take pictures of just about anything like whiteboards or text docs and translate it a few ways from reframing to adding filters to your captures. It will also OCR documents into text or PDF. One of the things I loved most about this app was it will auto zoom up on details...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 15](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/11/an-apple-a-day-day-15/): Disclaimer: Sorry everyone, unfortunately, my wife said the pool experiment was a no go. Apparently, I’m not allowed to throw a $1500 device in the water overnight and see if what they said was true. But if you’re interested in the answer, boy have I got a video for you. So let’s kick off the day with something simple first. I’m in the market for a way to remotely present as holding a 12.9-inch screen for an entire hour + long presentation makes me really nervous. So after a short search, I came across these: Basic iPad Pro Bluetooth Clicker – Satechi...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 14](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/10/an-apple-a-day-day-14/): Ahh, the end of week two. Let’s start with a personal challenge and finish on a good note. A Few Things The iPad is suited for a lot of things, but precise overlays of graphics on an iPad are not it’s forte. This was almost maddening as swiping across the screen could cause a presentation element to get moved to throw across the screen, then exiting out would auto save, which I later learned how to turn off. The pen was a dramatic help in bringing things under control but I still wouldn’t recommend creating full presentations on an iPad...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 13](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/09/an-apple-a-day-day-13/): Day 13, not a good number but not a bad day! PollEverywhere I began the day by downloading PollEverywhere and started a survey on the iPad to test how it would work as a survey tool until I get more development time around a native solution. This web-based survey tool is usually relegated to the speaking session surveys I do before and after my talks but I thought it may be a good tool to pilot for a different need. First time through with a pool of questions from an official survey and looks like this might be a good...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 12](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/08/an-apple-a-day-day-12/): Day 12! More Apps! Things are getting easier to use and I am getting used to using them. There really is nothing new to report other than I downloaded a few new apps! Oh, and I also tried out a new complication on the Apple Watch. I wonder who came up with the name “complication” and what was the thought process for that. Maybe this will shed some light. Mr. Robot Ok, first I love the TV Series Mr. Robot and when I saw this as a game I was instantly drawn to it. Mr. Robot is an interesting cell phone simulation...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 11](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/07/an-apple-a-day-day-11/): Practical Life Use Short but useful is today’s theme! iPad & The Car I had to do some car repairs and used the phone to look up videos on car repair and tried out a dash command program. For those not familiar with these types of programs, they are apps that allow you to create dashboards of metrics from your car’s computer. Unfortunately, Apple needs a specific Bluetooth OBD2 sensor that’s been certified by Apple. I went ahead and purchased this on Amazon will try again when it gets here.

Today, I am excited to share that I have finally fixed the audiobook sync issue, which we will go over the How-To. I also have a fun game to entice you with and did you know that the IPad does NOT come with an installed calculator like the phone. Let’s dive in, shall we? 1. Ipad & Audiobook Sync! So, finally! I have fixed the audiobook sync issue. I had to connect both my phone and iPad up to my computer and set sync to wireless in the summary page.

- [An Apple A Day - Day 9](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/05/an-apple-a-day-day-9/): Day 9 brought forth new and exciting ways to use my devices. It seems there is almost no end to the things you can do and do them with ease with these products. Today I decided to add some new apps to the stable, starting with Microsoft Azure app. iPad & Microsoft Azure  I deal with a lot of clients and personal assets in Azure so I wanted to be able to manage them on the go. The good news is it works well if you need to do simple monitoring or want to know the configuration of an app....<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 8](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/04/an-apple-a-day-day-8/): So here we are 8 Days and Counting! I am still loving it but there are few things here and there that I’ve come across that have caused me a little annoyance. iPad & GoToMeeting: Today I tried out GoToMeeting for the first time and this required a few steps to be completed if you wanted to present. This unfortunately set my meeting back about 10 minutes whilst trying to figure out how to make it work. Despite setting everything as suggested, it still wouldn’t work. *Note to Self & Others: Make sure your stuff works long before you need to be...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 7](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/03/an-apple-a-day-day-7/): Here we are a week in and today was a busy day filled with meetings and calls. Luckily I had my iPad Pro at the ready. I started off a little rocky as the wifi in the office is super unreliable and the staff wifi is super slow. But, once I got connected to the office building wifi, things were smooth sailing. Air Pods The most notable thing today was I had about 3.5 hours of back to back conferences and meetings in which I used my AirPods. During the use of them, I found the battery life to be shorter than...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 6](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/02/an-apple-a-day-day-6/): Another Day, Another Dollar So, here’s a breakdown of my day. It’s my first full day in the workforce with my new devices. Will it measure up to a laptop or will it be a lapflop? First thing this morning, it was a painful setup for email because this client uses SecureMail vs. regular Outlook email, this is a pain point for the email not Apple. Next, had to finish a training class, unfortunately, training classes required internet explorer (Who Does This?), for some reason they don’t render properly in Safari or Chrome, only IE on my laptop. Of course! Moving...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 5](https://imseandavis.com/2018/04/01/an-apple-a-day-day-5/): The weekend consisted of spending most of my time working on my car. But I did find some time to work on getting access set back up for all of my apps, Touch ID set up and tried my hand at some scripting on the IPad. Let’s delve a little deeper. App Access I am still working on getting access set back up for every app. Depending on how engrained (9 years) you are in Android is how long it will take you to get all your passwords put into the keychain. Logging onto every app manually when you haven’t...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 4](https://imseandavis.com/2018/03/31/an-apple-a-day-day-4/):   Hello again! So here I am four days in and I’m sold that the experience is better than anything I’ve had so far with Android. More Apple Products?  I checked online and sure enough, I was up for an upgrade on my phone. I thought why not make the conversion complete with my phone. I mean honestly, it’s hard to be using Apple products on the daily and still have an Android in my pocket. If the experience is this good with the iPad, I bet it’s even better adding the phone. Considering I already have iPad Pro, Apple...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 3](https://imseandavis.com/2018/03/30/an-apple-a-day-day-3/): Today is the day! We get to see how this baby performs in a real work environment. This marks my first official day using my iPad at work. Now I had my trusty laptops on standby but rarely needed them and when I did it was mostly for time-sensitive things I’m not familiar yet with on my iPad. First Things First I started by setting up my corporate email through Secure Hub for my clients’ email account. It was a fairly painless process but not like the simple and fast process I was used to so far. This was really...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>
- [An Apple A Day - Day 2](https://imseandavis.com/2018/03/29/an-apple-a-day-day-2/): Day 2 of my Apple journey is here and we’re off to a good start. I got a recommendation from someone for Parallel’s Access and I have to say at first blush this was the best $20 I’ve spent this year. So far the user experience for me has been overwhelmingly great, it just works. While I’ve always been the typical Android fanboy, I can finally see what the fuss is all about. Email We all know how important being able to access your email is. I rolled all my email into the Mail app vs. several other apps I...<p><a class="read-more" href="https://imseandavis.com/resume/">Read More</a></p>

After nine faithful years to Andriod, my journey has brought me to Apple’s doorstep. Now don’t get me wrong moving over was one of the hardest things I have ever done… or so I thought. My career has brought me to a new place altogether with changes in jobs and roles in the last year and I have tested a lot of different platforms to see which would best fit and frankly I’m tired of carrying around a backpack with 4 laptops.

- [Azure Interactives](https://imseandavis.com/2018/03/07/azure-interactives/): Azure is constantly evolving and adding new services to do anything from hosting a website to build the next AI and everything in between. With a continuously growing proliferation of services, Azure has created a set of tools to help you interactively learn about them. Azure Interactives is a fun way to learn about Azure services, application patterns, and security and operations management offerings.

- [Azure DevOps Projects - Part 1](https://imseandavis.com/2018/02/14/azure-devops-projects-part-1/): People often ask me why I choose Azure and what’s so great about it. Being in the DevOps field I always lead with the fact that not only does Windows support Windows services as PaaS for virtually every area of IT, they also support a very broad set of other languages as well. Gone are the days of Azure being Windows only, now you can find anything from an SDK to support articles supporting the latest and greatest mainstream languages to get the jobs done.
