(2786, 3, '2014-11-03 11:59:28', '2014-11-03 16:59:28', 'Today, the Internet Explorer team <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2014/11/02/announcing-remoteie-test-the-latest-ie-on-windows-mac-os-x-ios-and-android.aspx">is launching a new tool</a> to make it easier to test sites in IE regardless of which platform you''re on; seriously! Don''t believe me? Here are some Vines to show you it in action:\n\n<ul>\n    <li>Mac OSX <a href="https://vine.co/v/OO79UZbQIHD">https://vine.co/v/OO79UZbQIHD</a></li>\n    <li>Android <a href="https://vine.co/v/OO7V2TZ1rp3">https://vine.co/v/OO7V2TZ1rp3</a> </li>\n    <li>iPad iOS <a href="https://vine.co/v/OO7VplXMIhW">https://vine.co/v/OO7VplXMIhW</a></li>\n    <li>Win7 <a href="https://vine.co/v/OO7YKajmrp3">https://vine.co/v/OO7YKajmrp3</a></li>\n</ul>\n\nThe tool is called <a href="https://remote.modern.ie/">RemoteIE</a> and is designed to offer a virtualized version of the latest version of IE. This allows you to test out the latest version of IE without have to have a virtual machine installed.\n\n<h2>Getting it all Setup</h2>\n\nI ran through the steps to use the tool myself and wanted to document everything in case you run into any hiccups.\n\nFirst, head on over to <a href="https://remote.modern.ie/">https://remote.modern.ie/</a> which will take you to this page:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/mainpage.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/mainpage-300x147.png" alt="mainpage" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2795" /></a>\n\nYou''ll need a Microsoft account to use the service since it needs to associate the service to that account.\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/perms-2.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/perms-2-300x260.png" alt="perms-2" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2803" /></a>\n\nIf you have a Live.com or Outlook.com you can use that or you can register for a new one. No, you don''t need to use those services for anything else if you don''t want to but they''ve actually gotten way better and it might be worth a look.\n\nNext, you''ll want to select which server is closest to you so you have the best possible performance:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/location-3.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/location-3-300x129.png" alt="location-3" width="300" height="129" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2794" /></a>\n\nAt which point you''ll be asked to download the Microsoft Remote Desktop app for whichever platform you want. This could be for\n\n<ul>\n    <li>Mac OS X</li>\n    <li>iPhone or iPad</li>\n    <li>Android</li>\n    <li>Windows x86 or x64</li>\n    <li>Windows RT</li>\n</ul>\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/download-4.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/download-4-300x129.png" alt="download-4" width="300" height="129" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2790" /></a>\n\nAs you can see, I was serious when I said this would be available cross-platform.\n\nFor this tutorial, I''ll be showing you how to get this up and running on OS X since I think that''s where a lot of the friction for web developers is. To do that you''ll need to download the app from the Apple App Store. Clicking on the "Mac" link will direct you to the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417">online Apple store site</a>.\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/applecom-5.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/applecom-5-300x197.png" alt="applecom-5" width="300" height="197" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2788" /></a>\n\nClick on the "View in Mac App Store" button so that you can launch the App Store app on your Mac. You''ll be presented by a confirmation notice from Chrome (or your fav OS X browser) to launch the external app:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/launchappstore-6.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/launchappstore-6-300x264.png" alt="launchappstore-6" width="300" height="264" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2793" /></a>\n\nAnd after you confirm it you''ll be in the App Store entry:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/appstore-7.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/appstore-7-300x222.png" alt="appstore-7" width="300" height="222" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2789" /></a>\n\nIn my case, I already had the app installed which is why it shows "Open". If you don''t have it installed, go ahead and do so. Once you installed it, look for it in Finder:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/finder-8.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/finder-8-300x170.png" alt="finder-8" width="300" height="170" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2791" /></a>\n\nor if you''re like me, use the awesome <a href="http://www.alfredapp.com/">Alfred</a> to find it:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/alfred-9.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/alfred-9-300x72.png" alt="alfred-9" width="300" height="72" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2787" /></a>\n\nNow, the next step is why I wanted to create this tutorial since it isn''t immediately obvious once you run Remote Desktop what to do. When you launch the app, if you take a look at the header, you''ll see an entry called "<strong>Microsoft RemoteApp</strong>". That''s what you''ll want to click:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/remoteapp.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/remoteapp-231x300.png" alt="remoteapp" width="231" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3087" /></a>\n\nFrom there, you''ll now be asked for your Microsoft account information to determine what app subscriptions you have available:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappemail-11.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappemail-11-300x211.png" alt="msremoteappemail-11" width="300" height="211" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2798" /></a>\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsignin-12.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsignin-12-292x300.png" alt="msremoteappsignin-12" width="292" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2801" /></a>\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsubs-13.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsubs-13-292x300.png" alt="msremoteappsubs-13" width="292" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2802" /></a>\n\nNow that it''s figured out that you''re legit, you''ll see a dialog showing what your app subscriptions are:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappinvite-14.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappinvite-14-300x267.png" alt="msremoteappinvite-14" width="300" height="267" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2800" /></a>\n\nAgain, I want to help you avoid confusion here since the UX at this specific point is a little off. When you click on the checkbox for "Internet Explorer (email: iewebeco@microsoft.com)", an entry for "<strong>Internet Explorer->IE Technical Preview</strong>" will be added to the main Microsoft Remote Desktop app BUT the dialog with the checkbox I just mentioned doesn''t disappear. See here:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappiechk-15.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappiechk-15-300x250.png" alt="msremoteappiechk-15" width="300" height="250" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2799" /></a>\n\nSo heads up. Once you see the entry in the main app that says "IE Technical Preview", you can close the dialog box with the checkbox. You can see in the previous image how I highlighted the close dialog icon.\n\nWe''re almost done.

Don''t believe me? Here are some Vines to show you it in action:\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Mac OSX <a href="https://vine.co/v/OO79UZbQIHD">https://vine.co/v/OO79UZbQIHD</a></li>\r\n	<li>Android <a href="https://vine.co/v/OO7V2TZ1rp3">https://vine.co/v/OO7V2TZ1rp3</a> </li>\r\n	<li>iPad iOS <a href="https://vine.co/v/OO7VplXMIhW">https://vine.co/v/OO7VplXMIhW</a></li>\r\n	<li>Win7 <a href="https://vine.co/v/OO7YKajmrp3">https://vine.co/v/OO7YKajmrp3</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThe tool is called <a href="https://remote.modern.ie/">RemoteIE</a> and is designed to offer a virtualized version of the latest version of IE. This allows you to test out the latest version of IE without have to have a virtual machine installed.\r\n\r\n<h2>Getting it all Setup</h2>\r\n\r\nI ran through the steps to use the tool myself and wanted to document everything in case you run into any hiccups.\r\n\r\nFirst, head on over to <a href="https://remote.modern.ie/">https://remote.modern.ie/</a> which will take you to this page:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/mainpage.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/mainpage-300x147.png" alt="mainpage" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2795" /></a>\r\n\r\nYou''ll need a Microsoft account to use the service since it needs to associate the service to that account. \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/perms-2.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/perms-2-300x260.png" alt="perms-2" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2803" /></a>\r\n\r\nIf you have a Live.com or Outlook.com you can use that or you can register for a new one. No, you don''t need to use those services for anything else if you don''t want to but they''ve actually gotten way better and it might be worth a look.\r\n\r\nNext, you''ll want to select which server is closest to you so you have the best possible performance:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/location-3.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/location-3-300x129.png" alt="location-3" width="300" height="129" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2794" /></a>\r\n\r\nAt which point you''ll be asked to download the Microsoft Remote Desktop app for whichever platform you want. This could be for\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Mac OS X</li>\r\n	<li>iPhone or iPad</li>\r\n	<li>Android</li>\r\n	<li>Windows x86 or x64</li>\r\n	<li>Windows RT</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/download-4.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/download-4-300x129.png" alt="download-4" width="300" height="129" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2790" /></a>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, I was serious when I said this would be available cross-platform. \r\n\r\nFor this tutorial, I''ll be showing you how to get this up and running on OS X since I think that''s where a lot of the friction for web developers is. To do that you''ll need to download the app from the Apple App Store. Clicking on the "Mac" link will direct you to the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417">online Apple store site</a>. \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/applecom-5.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/applecom-5-300x197.png" alt="applecom-5" width="300" height="197" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2788" /></a>\r\n\r\nClick on the "View in Mac App Store" button so that you can launch the App Store app on your Mac. You''ll be presented by a confirmation notice from Chrome (or your fav OS X browser) to launch the external app:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/launchappstore-6.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/launchappstore-6-300x264.png" alt="launchappstore-6" width="300" height="264" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2793" /></a>\r\n\r\nAnd after you confirm it you''ll be in the App Store entry:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/appstore-7.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/appstore-7-300x222.png" alt="appstore-7" width="300" height="222" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2789" /></a> \r\n\r\nIn my case, I already had the app installed which is why it shows "Open". If you don''t have it installed, go ahead and do so. Once you installed it, look for it in Finder:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/finder-8.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/finder-8-300x170.png" alt="finder-8" width="300" height="170" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2791" /></a>\r\n\r\nor if you''re like me, use the awesome <a href="http://www.alfredapp.com/">Alfred</a> to find it:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/alfred-9.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/alfred-9-300x72.png" alt="alfred-9" width="300" height="72" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2787" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow, the next step is why I wanted to create this tutorial since it isn''t immediately obvious once you run Remote Desktop what to do. When you launch the app, if you take a look at the header, you''ll see an entry called "<strong>Microsoft RemoteApp</strong>". That''s what you''ll want to click:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/remoteapp.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/remoteapp-231x300.png" alt="remoteapp" width="231" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3087" /></a>\r\n\r\nFrom there, you''ll now be asked for your Microsoft account information to determine what app subscriptions you have available:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappemail-11.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappemail-11-300x211.png" alt="msremoteappemail-11" width="300" height="211" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2798" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsignin-12.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsignin-12-292x300.png" alt="msremoteappsignin-12" width="292" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2801" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsubs-13.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsubs-13-292x300.png" alt="msremoteappsubs-13" width="292" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2802" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow that it''s figured out that you''re legit, you''ll see a dialog showing what your app subscriptions are:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappinvite-14.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappinvite-14-300x267.png" alt="msremoteappinvite-14" width="300" height="267" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2800" /></a>\r\n\r\nAgain, I want to help you avoid confusion here since the UX at this specific point is a little off. When you click on the checkbox for "Internet Explorer (email: iewebeco@microsoft.com)", an entry for "<strong>Internet Explorer->IE Technical Preview</strong>" will be added to the main Microsoft Remote Desktop app BUT the dialog with the checkbox I just mentioned doesn''t disappear. See here:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappiechk-15.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappiechk-15-300x250.png" alt="msremoteappiechk-15" width="300" height="250" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2799" /></a>\r\n\r\nSo heads up. Once you see the entry in the main app that says "IE Technical Preview", you can close the dialog box with the checkbox. You can see in the previous image how I highlighted the close dialog icon.\r\n\r\nWe''re almost done. Next, go ahead and double-click on "IE Technical Preview" to launch your virtualized version of IE. it''ll take just a minute to spin everything up so be patient:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappconnect-16.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappconnect-16-300x173.png" alt="msremoteappconnect-16" width="300" height="173" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2797" /></a>\r\n\r\nAnd once it''s up, you have a full blown version of IE 11 Technical Preview ready for you. Notice in the following image how the F12 Developer Tools are there for you:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ieonosx-17.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ieonosx-17-300x185.png" alt="ieonosx-17" width="300" height="185" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2792" /></a>\r\n\r\n<h2>Read the Full Blog Post</h2>\r\n\r\nThis is a great new tool and it''ll definitely lower the friction to testing on the latest version of IE but there are some limitations that should be noted including the inability to access the local file system.

Once you see the entry in the main app that says "IE Technical Preview", you can close the dialog box with the checkbox.

Once you see the entry in the main app that says "IE Technical Preview", you can close the dialog box with the checkbox. You can see in the previous image how I highlighted the close dialog icon.\r\n\r\nWe''re almost done. Next, go ahead and double-click on "IE Technical Preview" to launch your virtualized version of IE. it''ll take just a minute to spin everything up so be patient:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappconnect-16.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappconnect-16-300x173.png" alt="msremoteappconnect-16" width="300" height="173" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2797" /></a>\r\n\r\nAnd once it''s up, you have a full blown version of IE 11 Technical Preview ready for you.

This allows you to test out the latest version of IE without have to have a virtual machine installed.\r\n\r\n<h2>Getting it all Setup</h2>\r\n\r\nI ran through the steps to use the tool myself and wanted to document everything in case you run into any hiccups.\r\n\r\nFirst, head on over to <a href="https://remote.modern.ie/">https://remote.modern.ie/</a> which will take you to this page:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/mainpage.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/mainpage-300x147.png" alt="mainpage" width="300" height="147" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2795" /></a>\r\n\r\nYou''ll need a Microsoft account to use the service since it needs to associate the service to that account. \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/perms-2.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/perms-2-300x260.png" alt="perms-2" width="300" height="260" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2803" /></a>\r\n\r\nIf you have a Live.com or Outlook.com you can use that or you can register for a new one. No, you don''t need to use those services for anything else if you don''t want to but they''ve actually gotten way better and it might be worth a look.\r\n\r\nNext, you''ll want to select which server is closest to you so you have the best possible performance:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/location-3.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/location-3-300x129.png" alt="location-3" width="300" height="129" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2794" /></a>\r\n\r\nAt which point you''ll be asked to download the Microsoft Remote Desktop app for whichever platform you want. This could be for\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Mac OS X</li>\r\n	<li>iPhone or iPad</li>\r\n	<li>Android</li>\r\n	<li>Windows x86 or x64</li>\r\n	<li>Windows RT</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/download-4.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/download-4-300x129.png" alt="download-4" width="300" height="129" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2790" /></a>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, I was serious when I said this would be available cross-platform. \r\n\r\nFor this tutorial, I''ll be showing you how to get this up and running on OS X since I think that''s where a lot of the friction for web developers is. To do that you''ll need to download the app from the Apple App Store. Clicking on the "Mac" link will direct you to the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417">online Apple store site</a>. \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/applecom-5.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/applecom-5-300x197.png" alt="applecom-5" width="300" height="197" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2788" /></a>\r\n\r\nClick on the "View in Mac App Store" button so that you can launch the App Store app on your Mac. You''ll be presented by a confirmation notice from Chrome (or your fav OS X browser) to launch the external app:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/launchappstore-6.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/launchappstore-6-300x264.png" alt="launchappstore-6" width="300" height="264" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2793" /></a>\r\n\r\nAnd after you confirm it you''ll be in the App Store entry:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/appstore-7.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/appstore-7-300x222.png" alt="appstore-7" width="300" height="222" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2789" /></a> \r\n\r\nIn my case, I already had the app installed which is why it shows "Open". If you don''t have it installed, go ahead and do so. Once you installed it, look for it in Finder:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/finder-8.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/finder-8-300x170.png" alt="finder-8" width="300" height="170" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2791" /></a>\r\n\r\nor if you''re like me, use the awesome <a href="http://www.alfredapp.com/">Alfred</a> to find it:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/alfred-9.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/alfred-9-300x72.png" alt="alfred-9" width="300" height="72" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2787" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow, the next step is why I wanted to create this tutorial since it isn''t immediately obvious once you run Remote Desktop what to do. When you launch the app, if you take a look at the header, you''ll see an entry called "<strong>Microsoft RemoteApp</strong>". That''s what you''ll want to click:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteapp-10.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteapp-10-300x269.png" alt="msremoteapp-10" width="300" height="269" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2796" /></a>\r\n\r\nFrom there, you''ll now be asked for your Microsoft account information to determine what app subscriptions you have available:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappemail-11.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappemail-11-300x211.png" alt="msremoteappemail-11" width="300" height="211" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2798" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsignin-12.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsignin-12-292x300.png" alt="msremoteappsignin-12" width="292" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2801" /></a>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsubs-13.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappsubs-13-292x300.png" alt="msremoteappsubs-13" width="292" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2802" /></a>\r\n\r\nNow that it''s figured out that you''re legit, you''ll see a dialog showing what your app subscriptions are:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappinvite-14.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappinvite-14-300x267.png" alt="msremoteappinvite-14" width="300" height="267" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2800" /></a>\r\n\r\nAgain, I want to help you avoid confusion here since the UX at this specific point is a little off. When you click on the checkbox for "Internet Explorer (email: iewebeco@microsoft.com)", an entry for "<strong>Internet Explorer->IE Technical Preview</strong>" will be added to the main Microsoft Remote Desktop app BUT the dialog with the checkbox I just mentioned doesn''t disappear. See here:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappiechk-15.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappiechk-15-300x250.png" alt="msremoteappiechk-15" width="300" height="250" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2799" /></a>\r\n\r\nSo heads up. Once you see the entry in the main app that says "IE Technical Preview", you can close the dialog box with the checkbox. You can see in the previous image how I highlighted the close dialog icon.\r\n\r\nWe''re almost done. Next, go ahead and double-click on "IE Technical Preview" to launch your virtualized version of IE. it''ll take just a minute to spin everything up so be patient:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappconnect-16.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/msremoteappconnect-16-300x173.png" alt="msremoteappconnect-16" width="300" height="173" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2797" /></a>\r\n\r\nAnd once it''s up, you have a full blown version of IE 11 Technical Preview ready for you. Notice in the following image how the F12 Developer Tools are there for you:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ieonosx-17.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ieonosx-17-300x185.png" alt="ieonosx-17" width="300" height="185" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2792" /></a>\r\n\r\n<h2>Read the Full Blog Post</h2>\r\n\r\nThis is a great new tool and it''ll definitely lower the friction to testing on the latest version of IE but there are some limitations that should be noted including the inability to access the local file system. It be great if that were possible but VMs can be tricky to deal with, especially from a security perspective.\r\n\r\nSo now that you''ve got this all setup, be sure to head over to the IE blog and <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2014/11/02/announcing-remoteie-test-the-latest-ie-on-windows-mac-os-x-ios-and-android.aspx">read up on RemoteIE</a> to get all the details about this new awesome tool.\r\n', 'A New Way to Test Internet Explorer on OS X, iOS and Android', 0, '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '2786-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-11-03 11:59:10', '2014-11-03 16:59:10', '', 2786, 'http://blog.reybango.com/2014/11/03/2786-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

(3002, 3, '2015-05-12 15:14:37', '2015-05-12 20:14:37', 'I recently read David Walsh''s excellent post, "<a href="http://davidwalsh.name/impostor-syndrome">I''m an Impostor</a>", and it certainly hit home. I even DM''d him on Twitter to thank him for making me feel less alone:\n\n<em>"Thank you for writing that post. I can relate so much to what you’re going through. I feel it all the time as well. Glad I’m not alone."</em>\n\n<a href="http://davidwalsh.name/impostor-syndrome">Like</a> <a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ImAPhonyAreYou.aspx">many</a> <a href="https://medium.com/the-year-of-the-looking-glass/the-imposter-syndrome-9e23e2326d88">others</a>, I''ve had to cope with Impostor Syndrome and while it''s not a great feeling, I''ve been fortunate enough to have a great support system in the community that has regularly helped me recognize my contributions. But that doesn''t mean that I don''t suffer self-doubt on occasion, especially in the presence of people I know are amazing technologists. This is especially prevalent because my role at Microsoft puts me in constant exposure to folks who <strong>build a browser</strong> and whose technical understanding is off the charts.\n\n<h2>As Your Name Grows, So Does the Pressure</h2>\n\nAfter thinking about this for a couple of days, I''ve come to realize that these feelings seem to be exacerbated as your influence grows in the community. Some of it is clearly self-imposed self-doubt such as what David eluded to but I also believe that as we gain recognition, we begin to set expectations (sometimes unnecessarily) that we need to know <strong>EVERYTHING</strong> that''s going on within our specific development niches. It seems obvious that it would be impossible to keep up with every framework, tool, pattern or technique coming out. There''s only so much time in the day and that has to be balanced with normal work duties and most importantly, family time.\n\nBut when you''re perceived as an influential part of the community (as I''ve been told I am and as I view David), there''s a clear pressure to be "<em>in the know</em>" and talk intelligently about the new coolness that''s being used. I even gave a talk at Fluent''s Ignite about this:\n\n<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tpWZt2GKzYU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>\n\nIt''s especially difficult to rationalize not knowing these things when you see all the cool kids using them and talking them up. When people look to me to give them guidance and I can''t offer them solid feedback, it''s an incredibly deflating experience. I mean, aren''t I that guy that''s <em>supposed to know</em>?\n\nAnd I believe folks in developer evangelism roles are especially susceptible to this because we don''t have the same opportunities to build real-world, production code as the typical software developer. While we spend a lot of time evaluating and creating proof of concepts for new technologies, this doesn''t equate to the real-world issues that developers at Twitter, Reddit or any numbers of sites encounter during their day-to-day work. So we''re constantly working to stay on top of things but challenged by the fact that in many cases, we don''t actually create real production systems. It''s a real conundrum.\n\n<h2>I Don''t Know Everything</h2>\n\nI''m trying to manage these feelings by simply telling myself that:\n\n<ul>\n    <li>I don''t know everything</li>\n    <li>I can''t possibly learn all these new frameworks <strong>AND</strong> be good at them</li>\n    <li>I need to focus on what I''m good at</li>\n    <li>Learn things that accrue value to your job, not to everyone else</li>\n</ul>\n\nThe last point is especially important. I can''t continue to worry if the community will perceive my lack of understanding of all the new toys as a negative. And after reading the vast comments on David''s post, it makes me feel good to know that I''m not alone in feeling a bit overwhelmed. I need to focus on things that will bring value to my career and trying to learn every framework or tool out there just isn''t the way to go about it. Spreading myself thin to satisfy a non-existent perception isn''t bringing value, just stress and I need to stop that.\n\nI know there are a lot of people out there who have insane amounts of time on their hands who can spend nights and weekends focused exclusively on the new shiny toys. More power to them. That''s not me nor do I want to that. I much prefer having great work/life balance.\n\nSo no more hamster wheel for me.

Some of it is clearly self-imposed self-doubt such as what David eluded to but I also believe that as we gain recognition, we begin to set expectations (sometimes unnecessarily) that we need to know <strong>EVERYTHING</strong> that''s going on within our specific development niches. It seems obvious that it would be impossible to keep up with every framework, tool, pattern or technique coming out. There''s only so much time in the day and that has to be balanced with normal work duties and most importantly, family time. \r\n\r\nBut when you''re perceived as an influential part of the community (as I''ve been told I am and as I view David), there''s a clear pressure to be "<em>in the know</em>" and talk intelligently about the new coolness that''s being used. I even gave a talk at Fluent''s Ignite about this:\r\n\r\n<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tpWZt2GKzYU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n\r\nIt''s especially difficult to rationalize not knowing these things when you see all the cool kids using them and talking them up. When people look to me to give them guidance and I can''t offer them solid feedback, it''s an incredibly deflating experience. I mean, aren''t I that guy that''s <em>supposed to know</em>?\r\n\r\nAnd I believe folks in developer evangelism roles are especially susceptible to this because we don''t have the same opportunities to build real-world, production code as the typical software developer. While we spend a lot of time evaluating and creating proof of concepts for new technologies, this doesn''t equate to the real-world issues that developers at Twitter, Reddit or any numbers of sites encounter during their day-to-day work. So we''re constantly working to stay on top of things but challenged by the fact that in many cases, we don''t actually create real production systems. It''s a real conundrum.\r\n\r\n<h2>I Don''t Know Everything</h2>\r\n\r\nI''m trying to manage these feelings by simply telling myself that: \r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>I don''t know everything</li>\r\n	<li>I can''t possibly learn all these new frameworks <strong>AND</strong> be good at them</li>\r\n	<li>I need to focus on what I''m good at</li>\r\n	<li>Learn things that accrue value to your job, not to everyone else</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThe last point is especially important. I can''t continue to worry if the community will perceive my lack of understanding of all the new toys as a negative. And after reading the vast comments on David''s post, it makes me feel good to know that I''m not alone in feeling a bit overwhelmed. I need to focus on things that will bring value to my career and trying to learn every framework or tool out there just isn''t the way to go about it. Spreading myself thin to satisfy a non-existent perception isn''t bringing value, just stress and I need to stop that.\r\n\r\nI know there are a lot of people out there who have insane amounts of time on their hands who can spend nights and weekends focused exclusively on the new shiny toys. More power to them. That''s not me nor do I want to that. I much prefer having great work/life balance.\r\n\r\nSo no more hamster wheel for me.

I even DM''d him on Twitter to thank him for making me feel less alone: \r\n\r\n<em>"Thank you for writing that post. I can relate so much to what you’re going through. I feel it all the time as well. Glad I’m not alone."</em>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://davidwalsh.name/impostor-syndrome">Like</a> <a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ImAPhonyAreYou.aspx">many</a> <a href="https://medium.com/the-year-of-the-looking-glass/the-imposter-syndrome-9e23e2326d88">others</a>, I''ve had to cope with Impostor Syndrome and while it''s not a great feeling, I''ve been fortunate enough to have a great support system in the community that has regularly helped me recognize my contributions. But that doesn''t mean that I don''t suffer self-doubt on occasion, especially in the presence of people I know are amazing technologists. This is especially prevalent because my role at Microsoft puts me in constant exposure to folks who <strong>build a browser</strong> and whose technical understanding is off the charts.\r\n\r\n<h2>As Your Name Grows, So Does the Pressure</h2>\r\n\r\nAfter thinking about this for a couple of days, I''ve come to realize that these feelings seem to be exacerbated as your influence grows in the community. Some of it is clearly self-imposed self-doubt such as what David eluded to but I also believe that as we gain recognition, we begin to set expectations (sometimes unnecessarily) that we need to know <strong>EVERYTHING</strong> that''s going on within our specific development niches. It seems obvious that it would be impossible to keep up with every framework, tool, pattern or technique coming out. There''s only so much time in the day and that has to be balanced with normal work duties and most importantly, family time. \r\n\r\nBut when you''re perceived as an influential part of the community (as I''ve been told I am and as I view David), there''s a clear pressure to be "<em>in the know</em>" and talk intelligently about the new coolness that''s being used. I even gave a talk at Fluent''s Ignite about this:\r\n\r\n<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tpWZt2GKzYU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n\r\nIt''s especially difficult to rationalize not knowing these things when you see all the cool kids using them and talking them up. When people look to me to give them guidance and I can''t offer them solid feedback, it''s an incredibly deflating experience. I mean, aren''t I that guy that''s <em>supposed to know</em>?\r\n\r\nAnd I believe folks in developer evangelism roles are especially susceptible to this because we don''t have the same opportunities to build real-world, production code as the typical software developer. While we spend a lot of time evaluating and creating proof of concepts for new technologies, this doesn''t equate to the real-world issues that developers at Twitter, Reddit or any numbers of sites encounter during their day-to-day work. So we''re constantly working to stay on top of things but challenged by the fact that in many cases, we don''t actually create real production systems. It''s a real conundrum.\r\n\r\n<h2>I Don''t Know Everything</h2>\r\n\r\nI''m trying to manage these feelings by simply telling myself that: \r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>I don''t know everything</li>\r\n	<li>I can''t possibly learn all these new frameworks <strong>AND</strong> be good at them</li>\r\n	<li>I need to focus on what I''m good at</li>\r\n	<li>Learn things that accrue value to your job, not to everyone else</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThe last point is especially important. I can''t continue to worry if the community will perceive my lack of understanding of all the new toys as a negative. And after reading the vast comments on David''s post, it makes me feel good to know that I''m not alone in feeling a bit overwhelmed. I need to focus on things that will bring value to my career and trying to learn every framework or tool out there just isn''t the way to go about it. Spreading myself thin to satisfy a non-existent perception isn''t bringing value, just stress and I need to stop that.\r\n\r\nI know there are a lot of people out there who have insane amounts of time on their hands who can spend nights and weekends focused exclusively on the new shiny toys.

(3029, 3, '2015-05-14 13:00:39', '2015-05-14 17:00:39', 'Developer relations is an integral part of many software companies who hope to win the hearts and minds of developers. You may refer to it as developer evangelism or community outreach but ultimately, it''s a motion dedicated to ensuring that:\n\n<ol>\n    <li>You''re proactively listening to what the community needs and looking to see how you can help</li>\n    <li>You''re providing a conduit for developers to offer you feedback</li>\n    <li>You have an opportunity to share your vision with the community and hopefully solve some of their problems</li>\n</ol>\n\nIn my opinion, this is absolutely the right order to be driving on since it''s important to always think of the needs of the community.\n\nBut the problem with developer relations is that it''s a subjective, somewhat nebulous field that in most cases doesn''t involve tangible "<em>things</em>". This can make it hard to measure how successful you or your team are and if you''re hitting the mark with your community.\n\n<h2>What do Developer Advocates do?</h2>\n\nFrom my experience and through many discussions with my peers, the typical developer advocate tends to focus on several key outreach mechanisms to engage with developers. These are:\n\n<ol>\n<li>Social media engagement, primarily Twitter</li>\n    <li>Content generation via blogs or 3rd party sites such as Smashing Magazine</li>\n    <li>Screencasts</li>\n    <li>Podcasts</li>\n    <li>Webinars</li>\n    <li>Influencer engagement</li>\n    <li>Local or regional meetups and usergroups</li>\n    <li>Major conferences including speaking or attending</li>\n    <li>Hackathons</li>\n</ol>\n\nThe need to scale a message means that numbers 1 through 5 will get the most attention allowing advocates to reach the largest possible audience. They''re less personal but do afford a big megaphone. Six through nine offer opportunities for more direct one on one interaction and engagement with the chance to meet with community members in person, work with influential developers to ensure they have an opportunity to affect your product direction and generally put a face to a name.\n\n<h2>Easy Measurements</h2>\n\nOf these, the easiest to measure success on are the top 5. In most cases, there are analytics that can offer insight into your motions allowing you to determine how many people were interested in what you had to say. Tools like <a href="https://analytics.twitter.com">Twitter Analytics</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics">Google Analytics</a> and <a href="https://bitly.com">Bitly</a> offer tremendous insight into how well your outreach and engagement efforts are doing. The data offered can have a profound impact on how you adjust your tone and message, especially in these semi-autonomous mediums where anything can be misconstrued and left to interpretation.\n\nFor example, my post yesterday about <a href="http://blog.reybango.com/2015/05/13/ngrok-the-tool-that-brings-local-site-testing-to-remoteie/">ngrok</a> really went over well and based on the analytics, I can say that it was something that really resonated with my audience:\n\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/twitter-analytics.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/twitter-analytics.png" alt="twitter-analytics" width="846" height="113" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3036" /></a>\n\nI''m less concerned about the engagement rate &amp; percentage as I am about the number of impressions, in this cases 5,744 impressions. That''s a fairly decent reach and shows that a number of developers were interested in this.\n\n<h2>Not So Easy Measurements</h2>\n\nWhen we get to the lower end of the list, beginning at number 6, it''s hard to quantify how well you''re doing mainly because these are subjective motions that tend to have qualitative value and thus need to be measured as such. What I mean by this is that it''s very difficult to measure quantitatively the impact, immediate and long-term, that your participation in one of these motions might have. Sure, you can say that you spoke at an event and it was attended by 300 people. But does that really tell you whether your message landed or that you affected product sales? Not really and this is where the issues comes in with many companies who see developer relations solely as a cost center and not a value-add. The pointy-haired guy wants hard numbers for something that''s more of a soft skill.\n\nIn my opinion, measuring this needs to be done through social media tracking of a specific key message you''re trying to land. This means that if you''re participating in an event, you should have an idea of what your goals are so that they can be measured afterwards by analyzing feedback on social mediums, especially Twitter. Twitter is by far the best medium for gathering qualitative measurement of your engagements. The community uses it extensively to discuss the good and bad of what they see so if your message lands well, Twitter will know about it in most cases. Tools like <a href="https://www.sprinklr.com/">Sprinklr</a> help to offer insight into this and can help you gather information that you can use to measure your success. I personally use TweetDeck''s multi-column capability to track keywords that are important to me, especially at events or during announcements.\n\nAs I mentioned, these motions are typically measured qualitatively which means you need to ensure you save tweets or articles that highlight your motions, whether they''re positive or negative. Yes even negative feedback is valuable and should be used to determine how well you''re engaging with the community and if your company or product is of interest. This tweet regarding my ngrok post is a great example of this:\n\n<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ok, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ngrok?src=hash">#ngrok</a>, you are awesome at exposing {any,local}host! :)&#10;<a href="http://t.co/aqVTQDYUDe">http://t.co/aqVTQDYUDe</a>&#10;by <a href="https://twitter.com/reybango">@reybango</a> &#10;ps test <a href="https://twitter.com/twilio">@twilio</a>, webhooks, demo, etc...</p>&mdash; Dmitriy Shekhovtsov (@valorkin) <a href="https://twitter.com/valorkin/status/598581141747200000">May 13, 2015</a></blockquote>\n\n<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>\n\nIt''s equally important to ensure that the influencers you work have clarity into your vision and direction. Most developer advocates have lists of influential developers with whom they have regular conversations and briefings with so they can get a pulse of what''s trending and whether their company''s product is actually solving a need. Tracking how influencers feel is incredibly important because it tells you if they''re understanding your vision and what their sentiment is towards your product and company. Because these influencers have a big megaphone and the ears of the community, being able to proactively engage them at the right time ensures they''re getting the most accurate information to share with their followers. And trust me, they will be vocal for both the good and bad. They''re in a position of trust and thought leadership and rightfully need to express their true feelings about a topic. Measuring your interactions with them, again, is typically qualitatively and from perspective a long tail scenario since most influencers will take their time to ensure the information is worthwhile to discuss or promote. This is why it''s very hard to measure. The best tool I''ve found for this is <a href="http://www.onalytica.com/">Onalytica</a> which helps to offer engagement opportunities with influencers.\n\n<h2>How Do You Measure Success?</h2>\n\nI''d actually really love to hear from other developer advocates on this topic.

That''s a fairly decent reach and shows that a number of developers were interested in this.\n\n<h2>Not So Easy Measurements</h2>\n\nWhen we get to the lower end of the list, beginning at number 6, it''s hard to quantify how well you''re doing mainly because these are subjective motions that tend to have qualitative value and thus need to be measured as such. What I mean by this is that it''s very difficult to measure the impact, immediate and long-term, that your participation in one of these motions might have. Sure, you can say that you spoke at an event and it was attended by 300 people. But does that really tell you whether your message landed or that you affected product sales? Not really and this is where the issues comes in with many companies who see developer relations solely as a cost center and not a value-add.\n\nIn my opinion, measuring this needs to be done through social media tracking of a specific key message you''re trying to land. This means that if you''re participating in an event, you should have an idea of what your goals are so that they can be measured afterwards by analyzing feedback on social mediums, especially Twitter. Twitter is by far the best medium for gathering qualitative measurement of your engagements. The community uses it extensively to discuss the good and bad of what they see so if your message lands well, Twitter will know about it in most cases. Tools like <a href="https://www.sprinklr.com/">Sprinklr</a> help to offer insight into this and can help you gather information that you can use to measure your success. I personally use TweetDeck''s multi-column capability to track keywords that are important to me.\n\nAs I mentioned, these motions are typically measured qualitatively which means you need to ensure you save tweets or articles that highlight your motions, whether they''re positive or negative. Yes even negative feedback is valuable and should be used to determine how well you''re engaging with the community and if your company or product is of interest. This tweet regarding my ngrok post is a great example of this:\n\n<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ok, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ngrok?src=hash">#ngrok</a>, you are awesome at exposing {any,local}host! :)&#10;<a href="http://t.co/aqVTQDYUDe">http://t.co/aqVTQDYUDe</a>&#10;by <a href="https://twitter.com/reybango">@reybango</a> &#10;ps test <a href="https://twitter.com/twilio">@twilio</a>, webhooks, demo, etc...</p>&mdash; Dmitriy Shekhovtsov (@valorkin) <a href="https://twitter.com/valorkin/status/598581141747200000">May 13, 2015</a></blockquote>\n\n<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>\n\nIt''s equally important to ensure that the influencers you work have clarity into your vision and direction. Most developer advocates have lists of influential developers whom the have regular conversations and briefings with so they can get a pulse of what''s trending and whether their company''s product is actually solving a problem. Tracking how influencers feel is incredibly important because it tells you if they''re understanding your vision and what their sentiment is towards your product and company.

In most cases, there are analytics that can offer insight into your motions allowing you to determine how many people were interested in what you had to say.

The data offered can have a profound impact on how you adjust your tone and message, especially in these semi-autonomous mediums where anything can be misconstrued and left to interpretation.\r\n\r\nFor example, my post yesterday about <a href="http://blog.reybango.com/2015/05/13/ngrok-the-tool-that-brings-local-site-testing-to-remoteie/">ngrok</a> really went over well and based on the analytics, I can say that it was something the really resonated with my audience:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/twitter-analytics.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/twitter-analytics.png" alt="twitter-analytics" width="846" height="113" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3036" /></a>\r\n\r\nI''m less concerned about the engagement rate & percentage as I am about the number of impressions, in this cases 5,744 impressions.

What I mean by this is that it''s very difficult to measure the impact, immediate and long-term, that your participation in one of these motions might have. Sure, you can say that you spoke at an event and it was attended by 300 people. But does that really tell you whether your message landed or that you affected product sales? Not really and this is where the issues comes in with many companies who see developer relations solely as a cost center and not a value-add. \r\n\r\nIn my opinion, measuring this needs to be done through social media tracking of a specific key message you''re trying to land. This means that if you''re participating in an event, you should have an idea of what your goals are so that they can be measured afterwards by analyzing feedback on social mediums, especially Twitter. Twitter is by far the best medium for gathering qualitative measurement of your engagements.

This tweet regarding my ngrok post is a great example of this:\n\n<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ok, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ngrok?src=hash">#ngrok</a>, you are awesome at exposing {any,local}host! :)&#10;<a href="http://t.co/aqVTQDYUDe">http://t.co/aqVTQDYUDe</a>&#10;by <a href="https://twitter.com/reybango">@reybango</a> &#10;ps test <a href="https://twitter.com/twilio">@twilio</a>, webhooks, demo, etc...</p>&mdash; Dmitriy Shekhovtsov (@valorkin) <a href="https://twitter.com/valorkin/status/598581141747200000">May 13, 2015</a></blockquote>\n\n<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>\n\nIt''s equally important to ensure that the influencers you work have clarity into your vision and direction. Most developer advocates have lists of influential developers with whom they have regular conversations and briefings with so they can get a pulse of what''s trending and whether their company''s product is actually solving a need. Tracking how influencers feel is incredibly important because it tells you if they''re understanding your vision and what their sentiment is towards your product and company. Because these influencers have a big megaphone and the ears of the community, being able to proactively engage them at the right time ensures they''re getting the most accurate information to share with their followers. And trust me, they will be vocal for both the good and bad. They''re in a position of trust and thought leadership and rightfully need to express their true feelings about a topic. Measuring your interactions with them, again, is typically qualitatively and from perspective a long tail scenario since most influencers will take their time to ensure the information is worthwhile to discuss or promote. This is why it''s very hard to measure.

I know there are plenty of other ideas out there on how to effectively measure engagements and it''d be great to be able to pool it altogether. I''m hoping you''ll jump in on the comments and offer up your experience and perspective so that we can all benefit and do our jobs better.', 'Measuring Success in Developer Relations', 0, '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '3029-revision-v1', '', '', '2015-05-14 15:32:55', '2015-05-14 19:32:55', 'Developer relations is an integral part of many software companies who hope to win the hearts and minds of developers. You may refer to it as developer evangelism or community outreach but ultimately, it''s a motion dedicated to ensuring that:\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li>You''re proactively listening to what the community needs and looking to see how you can help</li>\r\n	<li>You''re providing a conduit for developers to offer you feedback</li>\r\n	<li>You have an opportunity to share your vision with the community and hopefully solve some of their problems</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nIn my opinion, this is absolutely the right order to be driving on since it''s important to always think of the needs of the community.\r\n\r\nBut the problem with developer relations is that it''s a subjective, somewhat nebulous field that in most cases doesn''t involve tangible "<em>things</em>". This can make it hard to measure how successful you or your team are and if you''re hitting the mark with your community.\r\n\r\n<h2>What do Developer Advocates do?</h2>\r\n\r\nFrom my experience and through many discussions with my peers, the typical developer advocate tends to focus on several key outreach mechanisms to engage with developers. These are:\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Social media engagement, primarily Twitter</li>\r\n	<li>Content generation via blogs or 3rd party sites such as Smashing Magazine</li>\r\n	<li>Screencasts</li>\r\n	<li>Podcasts</li>\r\n	<li>Webinars</li>\r\n	<li>Influencer engagement</li>\r\n	<li>Local or regional meetups and usergroups</li>\r\n	<li>Major conferences including speaking or attending</li>\r\n	<li>Hackathons</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n\r\nThe need to scale a message means that numbers 1 through 5 will get the most attention allowing advocates to reach the largest possible audience. They''re less personal but do afford a big megaphone. Six through nine offer opportunities for more direct one on one interaction and engagement with the chance to meet with community members in person, work with influential developers to ensure they have an opportunity to affect your product direction and generally put a face to a name.\r\n\r\n<h2>Easy Measurements</h2>\r\n\r\nOf these, the easiest to measure success on are the top 5. In most cases, there are analytics that can offer insight into your motions allowing you to determine how many people were interested in what you had to say. Tools like <a href="https://analytics.twitter.com">Twitter Analytics</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics">Google Analytics</a> and <a href="https://bitly.com">Bitly</a> offer tremendous insight into how well your outreach and engagement efforts are doing. The data offered can have a profound impact on how you adjust your tone and message, especially in these semi-autonomous mediums where anything can be misconstrued and left to interpretation.\r\n\r\nFor example, my post yesterday about <a href="http://blog.reybango.com/2015/05/13/ngrok-the-tool-that-brings-local-site-testing-to-remoteie/">ngrok</a> really went over well and based on the analytics, I can say that it was something that really resonated with my audience:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/twitter-analytics.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/twitter-analytics.png" alt="twitter-analytics" width="846" height="113" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3036" /></a>\r\n\r\nI''m less concerned about the engagement rate & percentage as I am about the number of impressions, in this cases 5,744 impressions. That''s a fairly decent reach and shows that a number of developers were interested in this.\r\n\r\n<h2>Not So Easy Measurements</h2>\r\n\r\nWhen we get to the lower end of the list, beginning at number 6, it''s hard to quantify how well you''re doing mainly because these are subjective motions that tend to have qualitative value and thus need to be measured as such. What I mean by this is that it''s very difficult to measure quantitatively the impact, immediate and long-term, that your participation in one of these motions might have. Sure, you can say that you spoke at an event and it was attended by 300 people. But does that really tell you whether your message landed or that you affected product sales? Not really and this is where the issues comes in with many companies who see developer relations solely as a cost center and not a value-add. The pointy-haired guy wants hard numbers for something that''s more of a soft skill.\r\n\r\nIn my opinion, measuring this needs to be done through social media tracking of a specific key message you''re trying to land. This means that if you''re participating in an event, you should have an idea of what your goals are so that they can be measured afterwards by analyzing feedback on social mediums, especially Twitter. Twitter is by far the best medium for gathering qualitative measurement of your engagements. The community uses it extensively to discuss the good and bad of what they see so if your message lands well, Twitter will know about it in most cases. Tools like <a href="https://www.sprinklr.com/">Sprinklr</a> help to offer insight into this and can help you gather information that you can use to measure your success. I personally use TweetDeck''s multi-column capability to track keywords that are important to me, especially at events or during announcements. \r\n\r\nAs I mentioned, these motions are typically measured qualitatively which means you need to ensure you save tweets or articles that highlight your motions, whether they''re positive or negative. Yes even negative feedback is valuable and should be used to determine how well you''re engaging with the community and if your company or product is of interest.
