Getting Started with Azure Static Web Apps

This entry was posted in Azure and tagged angular gatsby hugo microsoft teams react static web apps svelte vue on by

What does it take to deploy a modern JavaScript web app? Your initial response might be, “Copy the files up to the server – how hard could it be?”. The reality is that deploying modern JavaScript apps is a bit more complicated than simply copying files up to a server. For example, let’s say that you have a Single Page Application (a static web application) built with React, Vue, Angular, or another technology that hits an API, supports user logins and roles, and has to secure specific server-side routes. To deploy the app you’d need to do something like the […]

Azure Communications Voice Calling QuickStart

This entry was posted in Azure javascript and tagged azure communication services quickstart voice call on by

In this post, I’m going to walk you through the process of getting started with adding voice calling into your apps using Azure Communication Services (ACS). If you haven’t read my previous post or watched my video on “What is Azure Communication Services?” I’d recommend doing that first so that you understand what ACS is all about and the key features it offers. In a nutshell, ACS allows you to add voice, video, chat, SMS, and other telephony features into your applications. It can be used in web apps, desktop apps, or mobile apps. The ACS docs have a Calling […]

Add Real-Time Video, Voice, and Chat to Your App with Azure Communication Services

How many times have you tried to contact a company’s customer service department only to waste time looking up the phone number or trying to find the *right* phone number to ask a simple question? Once you finally get through to someone you typically end up switching between the phone app and the company’s website or app to pass along required information to the customer service representative. It can be frustrating. Wouldn’t it be easier to open the company’s website or app and make the call directly from the screen that has all of your information already available? For example, […]

ngAir Podcast: Containerizing Angular Apps with Docker

This entry was posted in Angular Azure Cloud Containers Docker Pluralsight SPA TypeScript on by

I had the opportunity to chat with Justin, Bonnie, Alyssa, and Austin about Angular and Docker on the ngAir podcast recently and really enjoyed talking with everyone. We talked about the benefits of containers from a developer and DevOps standpoint, how to create custom images with Dockerfiles, how to build/push/pull images, and how to run containers. We of course focused on the role that containers can play with Angular applications but the concepts apply to any front-end app (or back-end app for that matter). Here are some of the key links mentioned in the podcast: ​Containerizing Angular Apps with Docker […]

New Pluralsight Course: Containerizing Angular Applications with Docker

This entry was posted in Angular Azure Cloud Containers Docker SPA TypeScript on by

I’m excited to announce the release of my next course on Pluralsight titled Containerizing Angular Applications with Docker! This course walks you through the process of containerizing front-end applications (with a focus on Angular) using Docker images and containers. Here are a few questions this course will help you answer: Why “containerize” front-end applications? Should I consider using a CDN? How can I serve front-end applications created with Angular (or other libraries/frameworks) using nginx? How do I create a custom Dockerfile and custom image for my application? What is a multi-stage build and how can I use it to build […]

Adding Azure Active Directory and OWIN Code into an AngularJS/ASP.NET MVC Application to Handle User Authentication

This entry was posted in .NET ActiveDirectory angularjs Azure Cloud javascript Office365 SPA on by

In a previous post I discussed how to setup the necessary configuration code and assemblies in an AngularJS/ASP.NET MVC application in order to authenticate users against Azure Active Directory (AAD). Once the initial configuration is complete you can write code to redirect users to the AAD login screen to retrieve an ID token. In Part 4 of an article series I’m writing for http://itunity.com I discuss the necessary code that’s required to authenticate a user and retrieve the ID token. Additional topics covered include hooking AAD into the ASP.NET MVC pipeline, creating an Entity Framework token cache, triggering authentication against […]

Adding Azure Active Directory Configuration Code and Assemblies into an AngularJS/ASP.NET MVC Application

This entry was posted in .NET ActiveDirectory angularjs Azure Cloud javascript Office365 SPA on by

In a previous post I discussed the process for registering an application with Azure Active Directory (AAD) so that users can be authenticated. AAD supports a wide range of features that can be used to perform authentication, authorization, and claims-based security tasks. Once an application has been registered with AAD you’ll need to add configuration code into the application’s web.config file, add related NuGet packages, and add custom C# code into the application in order to take advantage of AAD authentication functionality. In Part 3 of an article series I’m writing for http://itunity.com I discuss these tasks and walk-through the […]
