Rather Useful Videos

I promised video versions of the Rather Useful Seminar I did on Monday. Here they are.

Red Rock Cider Police Squad Ads

I was digging around for information about the Canon Dial 35 and I discovered that it was used to take an award winning photograph of Leslie Nielsen as part of an advertising campaign for Red Rock Cider.

I’ve made a new screencast. This one is all about the use of Azure Functions with IoT devices.

Find out how it works and how to get started in the video.
