As you may have heard, we recently released an update to LEADTOOLS mobile technologies. Part of the update included new demos, which we wanted to highlight with some new marketing videos. After some research, I determined that ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and a batch file was going to be the best way to capture videos and screens of the demos on the device. In this setup, I was able to run a command in the console to start the capture and pull the file from the device to my local file system with one command. After almost breaking the USB connector in my phone, I figured out how to do it over Wi-Fi.
I was recently tasked with updating all of our product descriptions on the MSDN Marketplace site. The requirements were to make sure that all of the product descriptions matched our website exactly and that all of the links included a query string parameter. Manually qualifying and tagging hundreds HREFs and SRCs every quarter is not my idea of a good time; I'd rather write code! Additionally, the MSDN site has some markup quirks that need to be handled consistently.

Fortunately, our website is based on ASP.NET and uses layouts. This means that by changing the layout page and a little code, I was able to reuse the existing content, adjust for the MSDN quirks, and the task became an error-free copy-paste job.
