Do you know how long the app store takes? It can take anywhere from a few hours to days and in rare cases a week or two. The initial upload and verification would generally take the longest as it has to be fully reviewed for the first time. Each subsequent update would take less time, […]
Who needs a quote for a software project, or platform? If you’ve just met with a developer, consultant or engineer and briefly explained your project, then you don’t! If you’ve gone through a consulting process and planned, discussed and worked through things you didn’t even think of, then you might be ready to ask for […]
One of the biggest mistakes a business can make when developing software is failing to implement a continuously release strategy. This increases the risks, support and builds expectations on a release. Worst of all, if you have features sitting in a test site for months on end, you are missing out on efficiencies that the […]
How do you know if you need a mobile website or an app? Did you know that you can do a lot of the things an app can do on a website? You can access the camera and GPS, you can store data offline through local storage and get push notifications in the background. A […]

As with most things when moving the code to an Azure App Service we try to utilise the Slot Settings so that […]
We had to implement our own Uptime Robot Mozaïk plugin. We wanted it to be available for everyone to use and contribute to it. We published it to NPM.
It’s beneficial to push out releases for a subset of bug fixes, instead of postponing your release in order to try to stamp out all bugs known to mankind.
For our C# unit testing, we generally use a mocking framework called Moq which makes it easy to create mock classes for injecting behaviour and verifying calls. But this only works for public instance methods and won’t work for anything static. Extension methods must be static methods within static classes, so what happens when you want […]
Using Azure’s Application Settings allows you to manage different configurations for each development slot but there is no default way to utilise this feature from an Angular app. By Utilising Slot Specific settings we are able to provide different API URL’s for our test and staging slot, among other app-specific settings. Normally these would be maintained […]
