    How many five minutes can you find?

    I'm finding myself thinking a lot about 5 minute blocks. I see these blocks of time all around me - my day is made up of them. 

    Often they annoy me because I could have done more in those 5 minutes. I am mainly aware of this during my working day. Outside of work I don’t mind so much. I quite enjoy having an extra 5 minutes where I'm not expected to do anything - to watch the kids play a mindless PS4 game, or convincing my wife that it is OK to chill for 5 minutes.

    The enterprise distribution program of Apple (In-House) is a fantastic way to create business mobile applications and distribute it based on business needs (on demand). However, the documentation about how to distribute the app through this method is scarce, especially if you've created it with Xamarin instead of Xcode.

    Azure Active Directory TokenCache based on Entity Framework DB (issue in MS code)

    If you’re working with secure web applications with Azure Active Directory, you’re probably working with ADAL. ADAL has its own Token Cache (wonderfully explained in this post from the father of ADAL, Vittorio Bertocci. The Token Cache included in ADAL, it’s only suitable for native applications because it works “in memory”, so this will be a problem sooner or later for web applications. Fortunately, with ADAL v2, we can implement our own token cache, just inheriting from the TokenCache class. In fact, there’re a couple of examples in the same post of Vittorio, and one of them is based on SQL Server with Entity Framework. Therefore, it can be used perfectly for web applications.
