Mit mobile projekt

erikdib — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 15:17:00 GMT

Pyha... Hvad betyder næsten 12 måneders "radio" tavshed på en blog? At ejeren ikke har noget at skrive om? At ejeren har for travlt til at dele sine observationer med omverdenen? At ejeren arbejder på noget der ikke er offenteligt spiseligt endnu?

I mit tilfælde er svaret nok lidt af det hele, samt almindelig dovenskab (læs også under: for lidt timer i døgnet). Jeg har de sidste 12+ måneder beskæftiget mig med at tænke mobile scenarier og arkitektur i relation til business solutions. Det er blevet til een pilot, samt tre spin off projekter som alle har deres eget liv i dag.

Jeg skriver dette indlæg for at delagtiggøre jer, mine kære læsere, i dele af det ene projekt.

Efter utallige rejser på tværs af atlanten, og flere måneders transpiration, er det mig en stor stor fornøjelse at kunne annoncere vores samarbejde med patterns & practices omkring et Mobile Baseline Toolkit. Det første community drop er tilgængeligt nu, og vi glæder os til at høre dine kommentarer. I pakken finder du en .NET CF baseret version af Composite UI Application Block, et Unit Test framework til Windows Mobile samt diverse andre goodies. Målet er at ha' et færdigt kit til sommer!

Jeg er pt. på Convergence 2006 for at annoncere dette arbejde, samt løfte sløret for hvad mere vi har i godteposen. Er du alligevel i Dallas, så kig forbi en af vores sessions.

All aboard - let the community process start!

Stor tak går til laksene Per, Ed, Eugenio, Francis, John, Terrence, Mo, Rohit, et al. samt de altid trofaste sild Laurent, Sune og ikke mindst Ricky.

Imens du venter paa download

Hvis du, ligesom jeg, har haft mange forskellige version af Visual Studio 2005 på din maskine over de sidste 9-12 måneder er den sikkert blevet godt og grundig snasket ind. Istedet for en clean install, som ikke alle har tid til, har jeg fundet et par posts, der fortæller hvordan du lettest kommer af med de forrige installation inden du påbegynder Beta 2s setup.exe.

Hong Gao skriver om Uninstalling Visual Studio Team Suite, Visual Studio Standard or Visual Studio Professional Editions. Aaron Stebner skriver om How to manually cleanup a failed .NET Framework 2.0 install og Uninstalling previous Visual Studio 2005 betas to prepare to install beta 2.

Når nu du så har fået installeret Beta 2 og ikke helt kan forstå at vi kalder den for build 50215.45, når nu About dialogen siger 50215.44, så kan det betale sig at læse ScottGu's post om versionsnumre.

Jeg kan da slet ikke styre mig selv i dag...

Det er godt nok utroligt, men jeg føler mig lidt som en ko, der endeligt er kommet på græs efter en lang vinter i stalden (ingen kommentarer, tak). Det er skønt at blogge igen! Syntes lige i skulle se de dogme reklamefilm som Rory og Scott har lavet for årets Tech-Ed.

Lover dette er den sidste morsomhed i dag... Se filmene her: Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4!

Og naar vi nu er i sanghumoer...

De ansatte i vores virksomhed er, som så mange andre, en smule "alternative" fra tid til anden. Don Box & Co. har bla. et fint orkester der hedder "Band on the Runtime" (Paul McCartney navne-plagiat fra 1973 albummet med the Wings - check evt. her hvis du ikke kender din musikhistorie).

Jeg faldt over et gammel post fra den gode Chris Sells med tekster tilbage fra 2001. Hylende morsomt i min verden! Syntes du skulle ha' lidt at grine af på denne dejlige dag (alt imens din VS2005 Beta 2 downloader). Har du lyst til også at høre dem, så er her en sjov video fra PDC 2003.

Saa er foraaret kommet for alvor...

Det er i dag et vejr – et solskinsvejr!
O, søde vår, nu er du atter nær!
Nu vil jeg glemme rent, at det var vinter,
nu vil jeg gå og købe hyacinter
og bringe dem til en, som jeg har kær

Sådan starter Ludvig Holsteins gamle forårsbebudende sang - og sandeligt om det ikke passer perfekt på dagen i dag. Foråret har på papiret været hos os en tid, men netop i dag er der grund til at skråle ovennævnte med vinduet åbent. Solen skinner helt fantastisk, og så er Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 lagt på MSDN subscriber downloads.

Har du behov for en skive... Så grib den her!

Windows Media Center på dansk!

erikdib — Sat, 18 Dec 2004 03:52:00 GMT

Denne pressemeddelse dukkede op i min postkasse her til aften. Det er ikke hver dag jeg ser så gode nyheder...

Har selv et Windows Media Center 2005 kørende hjemme. Maskinen er pt. lidt klodset og larmer for meget - men softwaren er KANON. Har man først een gang brugt MyTV funktionen, så vil man ikke tilbage til alm. tv igen. Lurer på at købe et smukt DIGN kabinet (mangler bare funding) for at få "kæreste-stue-grim-device" effekten sat lidt ned.

PVR konceptet er iøvrigt ikke nyt, ej heller Windows Media Center. Men denne nyhed er en gave til os IT nødder, der ikke kan få nok af den rigtige teknologi ind i hjemmet. En kombination af Media Player, PVR, TV, billedfremviser og sidst men ikke mindst udviklingsplatform!

Nu må man så blot bevæbne sig med lidt tålmod - der går desværre 10-12 måneder før det hele spiller på dansk hvis alt går vel. I mellemtiden kan jeg dog fortælle en lille hemmelighed (shyyy!): Kan du selv strikke en maskine sammen og har du et MSDN abonnement - så er det en smal sag at komme igang med den engelsk-sprogedeversion i dag. Tog mig sammenlagt under 2 timer fra kasser med nyindkøbe hardware stumper til TV på tossen.

Go for it!

Pressemeddelelse 17. december 2004

Microsoft udvikler dansk version af Windows Media Center

Microsoft har startet udviklingen af en dansk version af Microsoft Windows XP Media Center. Den danske version forventes at blive lanceret i efteråret 2005.

For ca. to år siden lancerede Microsoft Windows XP Media Center, der er det ultimative underholdningscenter til hjemmet. Hidtil har Windows XP Media Center ikke været tilgængelig på dansk, men på grund af den store interesse for løsningen vil Microsoft nu udvikle en dansk version. Den danske version forventes at blive lanceret i løbet af efteråret 2005.

”I oktober 2004 lancerede vi Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, som der er blevet taget utroligt godt imod. Vi har også oplevet stor interesse i Danmark for en lokal version og er derfor glade for, at vi nu kan se frem til en dansk lancering allerede til efteråret,” siger produktchef Nis Bank Lorenzen, Microsoft Windows.

”Windows XP Media Center er utroligt populært i de lande, hvor den kører i dag. Vi er allerede klar med computerne og glæder os til at kunne tilbyde de danske kunder de nye muligheder. Det er vores klare fornemmelse, at det danske marked har været modent til Media Center længe, og at efterspørgslen allerede er der,” siger Søren Munk Andersen, salgsdirektør i Fujitsu Siemens.

”HP og Microsoft har arbejdet tæt sammen om udviklingen af produkter, som kombinerer pc'ens og internettets fantastiske muligheder med underholdningselektronikkens lette tilgængelighed. Media Center bringer visionen om det digitale hjem et stort skridt nærmere, og med den danske version på trapperne kan vi tilbyde forbrugerne en løsning, der fungerer 100 %,” siger Anders Herløv, markedsdirektør, Hewlett-Packard.

Windows XP Media Center er et operativsystem, der giver brugeren nem adgang til både underholdning og information via en Media Center-pc (det vil sige en pc, der styres af Windows XP Media Center). En brugervenlig online guide styrer alle familiens multimedieoplevelser. Brugerne får adgang til at se og optage tv, høre musik, se og redigere fotos, se film og meget mere fra deres Media Center-pc.

Underholdning i hele huset fra én pc

Med Windows XP Media Center Extender kan Media Center-pc’en forbindes til fjernsyn og skærme i hele huset. Dermed kan far se tv i stuen, mens mor hører radio i soveværelset, og sønnen hører musik og ordner billeder på sit værelse – alt sammen styret af den samme Media Center-pc.

De mange Media Center-muligheder kan også tages med, når man er på farten. En transportabel Media Center enhed med Windows Mobile software giver brugeren adgang til at høre musik, se film, gennemgå feriebillederne og meget mere i toget, på rejsen eller i sommerhuset.

Inden Windows XP Media Center lanceres i Danmark skal den testes grundigt igennem. Disse tests skal sikre at softwaren fungerer sammen med de danske tv-standarder og kabel-tv-udbydere. Såfremt alt går vel, lanceres softwaren i efteråret 2005.

MSDN Webcast: Multi-Device Development Is Here (Level 200)

Wednesday, January 05, 2005 - 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Pacific Time

Martin Schray, Academic Developer Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation

Software designers have been urged to break applications into multiple tiers as in three-tier (UI, application logic and data) or n-tier development in order to reduce the coupling between major application sub-systems. Many application designers assume there will always be a single UI tier. Is this an outdated assumption since applications like Microsoft Outlook run on multiple devices such as desktops, Microsoft Windows Mobile-based PocketPCs, SmartPhones and Web browsers? What are the implications for designing multi-device applications? Can code be reused across devices? Martin Schray will share his experiences developing two applications that run on the desktop, PocketPC and SmartPhone using Web services.

Når vi når april 2005 vil Mød Microsoft bla. også omhandle denne nye dejlige teknologi. Kan du ikke vente indtil da, så check disse artikler.

Du kan evt. downloade oktober CTP versionen af SQL Server 2005 Express Edition her!

Imens vi venter på ClickOnce...

Når jeg snakker smarte klienter (hvad er en smart klient?), eller smart clients som vi kalder dem på godt dansk, med udviklere bliver jeg tit mødt med bekymring om deployment. Det at en applikation fysisk skal installeres får som regel også driftsfolket til stejle.

Denne bekymring behøver dog ikke være så stor. Med .NET Framework 1.1 kan vi med Zero Touch Deployment installere programmet via HTTP protokollen. Og i .NET Framework 2.0 ser ClickOnce teknologien dagens lys.

Nedenstående er en samling interessante links om netop dette emne. Hvordan laver en klient der automatisk bliver opdateret via nettet?

Er du interesseret i hvad ClickOnce bringer til festen, så check dette link:

Er du til udvikling af spil? Er du til mobile enheder? Så er artikel nummer tre i serien om spil-udvikling til Smartphone med .NET Compact Framework nu lagt på MSDN.

Udgangspunktet for artikelserien er at forklare hvorledes man med enkle midler kan udvikle spil. Rob Miles har sat følgende regler op for hans arbejde:

Spillene skal bruge .NET Compact Framework!
Der må ikke bruges nogle færdige spil biblioteker, alt skal laves med Windows Forms!
Hvert spil må ikke tage alt for lang tid at udvikle!
Alle spillene skal på den ene eller anden måde involvere ost!

Er manden rablende gal - eller genial? Check selv, du finder artiklerne her:
