An in-house team is the heart of a successful business. Yet, a shortage of skilled professionals and the high cost of local hiring are significant roadblocks. Replace this traditional practice with the strategic advantage of nearshore staff augmentation. It’s offers more flexibility, scalability and faster project delivery. Keeping all operations in-house might feel like the […]
As a software developer today it is pretty difficult to avoid working with HTTP in some capacity. There also seems to be a growing desire among developers to get a deeper understanding of the protocol. Recently Glenn Block and I decided it might be interesting to do an online Q&A about HTTP and try and answer developer […]
It is true three women can’t make a baby in 3 months, but it also doesn’t take 27 months for them to have 3 babies! You might be wondering what on earth I am talking about but this is something I see API developers getting confused about regularly. There is oft-repeated guidance that if an API […]

I’ve spent a large part of the last two years playing the role of a technical marketeer. Call it developer advocate, API Evangelist, or my favourite title, API Concierge, my role was to engage with developers and help them, in any way I could, to build better HTTP APIs. I have really enjoyed the experience […]
Although I know my HTTP and Web API pretty well, becoming an API Evangelist on the Azure API Management team means also needing to know the nitty gritty of the Azure API Management product too.
