The concept of NoSQL or schema-less databases refers to systems that store data in a schemaless fashion using some form of document notation such as JSON. Examples of NoSQL databases include: MongoDB, CouchDB, RavenDB and, as we will discuss in this post, Azure DocumentDB.
In this series, we will be creating an application that allows users to quickly browse and search a repository of over 200,000 jeopardy questions. We will use Azure DocumentDB as a data repository, Azure Search to implement full text search functionality and will use AngularJS and Electron to create a desktop client that users can use to browse these questions.

However, as the project scales, and new people begin working in the solution, you may find yourself wishing you had a

In this tutorial I will be walking you through a means of rapid angular application setup. By the end you should be able to run a single command and have a bare bones angular application built and ready for experimenting. By eliminating the overhead in setting up a project, I hope to encourage rapid development of bad ideas. We will be using Node.js, gulp.js, and bower.js to setup the initial

And while there are many great options, I wanted to start with a series on creating a modern Web application using AngularJS and .NET Core. This guide will be designed for beginners and will walk through step by step a long journey to creating a complex application that uses plenty of cool technologies such as AzureAD, Docker
