I wrote “Learn Azure in a Month of Lunches” to tie together a lot of concepts and address common misunderstandings around the Azure platform. With so many service and features, I wanted to teach ways to build secure, resilient, and modern application environments in the cloud. https://www.iainfoulds.com/projects/of-kansas-sunsets/ Wed, 08 Jul 2020 20:37:54 -0700 https://www.iainfoulds.com/projects/of-kansas-sunsets/ Ed Harris is a shy, unassuming 20-year old from southern Kansas, wanting to avoid the raging war in Europe in 1943. Joining the US army air force, Ed hopes to serve his country as a maintenance mechanic on one of the great four-engine bombers - the mighty Boeing B-17 “Fying Fortress”. Now struggling to survive after being deployed and finding himself in a fight he never prepared for, Ed tries to return home safely and back to his family and loved ones. https://www.iainfoulds.com/projects/history-of-the-transcontinental-railroads-to-the-pacific-northwest/ Wed, 08 Jul 2020 20:25:48 -0700 https://www.iainfoulds.com/projects/history-of-the-transcontinental-railroads-to-the-pacific-northwest/ The Pacific Northwest has a rich and vibrant history that owes a lot to the expansion of the transcontinental railroads.

Three major railroads, the Northern Pacific Railway, the Great Northern Railway, and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, each laid thousands of miles of track from the upper midwest to the Pacific Northwest, and competed for a slice of lucrative new farming and logging markets, and trade from the Orient. https://www.iainfoulds.com/blog/the-phoenix/ Wed, 08 Jul 2020 20:08:51 -0700 https://www.iainfoulds.com/blog/the-phoenix/ My digital homes over the years have been almost as varied as my physical ones. For a long time, I pretended to be a photographer. I have some friends that were truly passionate about their craft, going on to win awards for their digital media with both still photos and through film. Like, Discovery Channel award winning. I’d build an online portfolio every few years that I was proud of, then realized it would come to nothing.
