Innovation at Microsoft - Book Review

The Insider’s Guide to Innovation at Microsoft, written by Dean Carignan and JoAnn Garbin, and published by PostHillPress publishers, explores the innovation strategies and practices at Microsoft over the past 50 years. When I heard about this book, I ordered myself a copy during pre-order, and got excited from the day I got it in the mail. This was honestly one of the few books I read cover to finish in just a weekend.

The Art of Realizing SRE on Azure - Book Review

As most of you know already, I enjoy writing technical (Azure related) books. So if you are wondering why it’s been quiet lately, there is a good reason for it. Actually, I was writing on my 9th book, making it 9 books in 9 years straight, but something got in-between the writing process and publishing. It’s called US Visa regulations :). Beginning this year, January 5th actually, I relocated from Belgium to Redmond, WA for Microsoft Corp.

New book published: Azure Strategy and Implementation Guide, 3rd edition

You might get amazed, finding out I managed to publish yet another book, where the previous one Efficiently Migrating your workloads to Azure only got published around Christmas. However, this new one was a “longer work in progress”, and not something I could spew out in just a few weeks. Several months ago, I got approached by Packt Publishing, asking me to “write a quick note on how I look at Azure strategic implementation and migration”.

Happy to announce my newest Azure book got (self) published

I’m excited about this next project that finally got live, thanks to a bit of quiet time during the Holidays. While it is not up to the full 100% of what I had in mind, I didn’t want to hold back the content any longer, since Azure is moving already that fast… The original idea of this material was based on a workshop I created for Microsoft Internal (Azure Developer Series) in Sept 2018 as a contractor, which was a combination of slides, videos and lab guides.
