    Native iOS Facebook Authentication with Azure App Service
    Native iOS Facebook Authentication with Azure App Service
    January 24th, 2017
    Authentication is a fundamental pillar to almost all modern mobile apps, but it's challenging to get right. In the past, I found myself in using methods that I knew were bad practice, but which allowed me to quickly ship apps to app stores. The most common approach I've seen when authenticating mobile apps with Azure is to use the magic ...

    Creating a Five-Star Search Experience with Azure Search
    Creating a Five-Star Search Experience with Azure Search
    July 13th, 2016
    Search is a feature that can make or break a mobile app, but it can be incredibly difficult to get right. Often, the likelihood that a user continues to use your app depends on the quality of the search experience; if Yelp didn't help me find restaurants or Amazon didn't display the products I was looking for, I'd likely abandon that ...

    Building Dynamic Layouts for iOS with UIStackView
    February 15th, 2016
    Laying out views on iOS has traditionally been very difficult.

    Adding Suggestions to Mobile Search with Azure Search
    Adding Suggestions to Mobile Search with Azure Search
    January 7th, 2016
    I’ve recently been developing an iOS app that leverages Microsoft’s Azure Search to provide search query suggestions to the user as they type.
