Ask Paul: July 12 (Premium)

Heading into the weekend, I’m preparing for our trip next week to Amsterdam for this year’s home swap. Forgive me if I’m a bit distracted.
Automating the weekly post for Ask Paul
hrlngrv asks:

Why not automate posting these forum requests for questions?

I don’t have a good answer for this beyond I’m not sure how I’d do that. I don’t really have technical access to the site, etc. I should at least create a calendar reminder so I can get the post out on a timely basis, and will do that.
New Edge Beta/Release expectations
ggolcher asks:

Have you heard anything on when we can expect Chromium Edge betas or even release? I'm anxiously waiting for it.

No. I had figured that this week’s Inspire news drop might be tied to the beta. But instead, Microsoft says that the new Edge Developer channel is “ready for enterprises to trial and pilot.”

What does that mean? Microsoft says:

“This means companies considering Microsoft Edge can now start to validate within the enterprise with confidence, knowing they have access to the features needed. Microsoft will work to address  issues that may be discovered, even though it is pre-release.”

It seems like the new Edge being that ready should have triggered the availability of the Beta channel. But I do expect the first release version of the new Edge to appear by the end of 2019. My guess is that it will be tied to Microsoft Ignite in November.
Microsoft Store in London
WP7Mango asks:

Are you planning on visiting the new Microsoft store in London? It looks really impressive - I'm planning on going myself soon.

I don’t have any plans, but I will do so the next time I’m in London for sure. There is a small possibility that will happen in about two weeks, since our annual home swap starts next week, and London is one choice for a side-trip. But we still haven’t booked anything, and we could end up doing something else.
Programming Windows
jmeiii75 asks:

Programming Windows: I'm really loving this series, Paul. However, due to the speed at which you are churning these out (Obviously, this is a good thing), I find myself falling behind and have to seek out where I left off. These posts end up getting buried several pages deep on the site. Would you consider, in addition to them appearing as they do now, grouping them under one of the navigation menus (Premium Content, perhaps)? Not a big deal if this is not possible as they are certainly worth seeking out. Just an idea. Have a great weekend.

Thanks … You can find all of the Programming Windows articles on this page in reverse chronological order. This is OK for now, but I don’t always publish the articles in the order I’d arrange them otherwise. So, I’m working on a table of contents that could perhaps be published as a page at some point.

This is obviously a flash in time type thing, but here’s a rough look at what that TOC looks like so far.
