이번 주 월요일 임에도 불구하고 WEDC’2008 (Windows Embedded Developer Conference) 에 무려 4백 여명이 참석을 해 주셔서 대단히 감사 드립니다. 이번 에는 예고해 드린 바와 같이, Windows Embedded, Air that we breathe! 라는 슬로건으로 우리 주변에 수많은 컴퓨팅들이 사실 알고 보면 임베디드 PC로 구성 되어 있습니다. 그래서 우리가 숨쉬는 공기가 없이 살 수 없듯이 임베디드 PC 또한 우리의 환경에 없다면, 밥을 먹으러 가서 돈을 지불할 때 POS 단말기(임베디드 PC)가 없다면 주산이나 계산기로서 계산하시고 신용카드로 결제 할 수 없을 뿐더러 현금을 내어야 할 지 모르겠습니다. 그 만큼 임베디드 PC는 우리의 생활 일 부분으로써 숨쉬는 공기와 같습니다. 이미 벌써 발 빠른 학주니 닷컴에서 WEDC에 대한 Keynote 내용을 상세히 브리핑을 한 지라 내용에 대해 다시 언급 할 필요성은 없을 것 같습니다. 다만 키노트

Desde la semana pasada ya está disponible para descarga el Release Candidate de Silverlight 2 , es decir, una versión casi final de lo que será Silverlight 2 para su liberación final en las próximas semanas. Este es un anuncio importante para los desarrolladores y diseñadores que han construido – o estén en el proceso de construir - sitios y aplicaciones enriquecidas usando Silverlight 2 debido a que han habido algunos cambios en la especificación y todavía quedan algunos bugs por corregir. Por otro

Are you looking for more technical information on creating RIAs (Rich Internet Applications) and RDAs (Rich Desktop Applications)? MSDN BeLux is organizing a road show around these technologies. This is your chance to learn about Silverlight, new ASP.NET Ajax features and learn about the .NET Client Profile with WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). Hereunder you can find the description of the event, please note that sessions are in different languages: 1 session in English, 2 in Dutch and 2 in

In preparation for the upcoming release of Silverlight 2, we have released Silverlight 2 Release Candidate 0 (RC0) to developers to start the process of updating their code.  Scott Guthrie just wrote about this in his blog yesterday. All of the details, including a breaking changes document are here http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/sl2rc0.aspx and here .  As I have written a number of samples that use Silverlight 2 Beta 2, I will be going through this process with you as well – and blogging

One of the fun Silverlight 1 applications that I built over the past year was Ball Watch's Trainmaster Cannonball ( http://xmldocs.net/ball ).  After seeing an ad in Wired magazine, I contacted the manufacturer with an idea and was sent a 2.93 MB TIF image of this watch.  In about 8 hours using Expression Blend, I created this watch and put it online ( see blog post ).  Yesterday I wanted to see how long it would take to convert it to Silverlight 2 (Beta 2).  The answer - about

Over the past few months, I have been working on a Silverlight kit for Photobucket's API .  I have used this sample to demonstrate a few things: How to build an API kit for a REST Library How to adapt existing .Net code to Silverlight (OAuth Library) How to build a unit test application for a Silverlight API Kit: see http://xmldocs.net/sketchbook/test.html for the current test suite. How to integrate Flash Video with Silverlight Applications: see http://xmldocs.net/sketchbook , search for a

Last week the DPE team at Microsoft launch a new site was launched with articles especially written for flash developers and designers that want to learn about Silverlight: Project Rosetta . To start there is a collection of 9 lessons that focus on one specific feature and explain the concept including the source code and assets. You will see that the way these lessons explain the concept to take advantage of existing skills and apply these to a new technology, Silverlight in this case. This is the

Next week I will be in New York City meeting customers and I will be holding a free half-day mini-workshop  at the Microsoft office on 6th Avenue to teach people about building Silverlight and WPF applications with Expression Studio and Visual Studio.  I've put together an ambitious agenda but I hope to hit each of these topics with examples and demonstrations using both Expression Studio and Visual Studio.  Since I work with Media and Communications companies, there will be a slight

I love using Expression Blend.  With both a design education (architecture) and a career in software development, I've become somewhat of an expert on using Microsoft's Expression Blend for designing WPF and Silverlight user experiences.  Over the past year, watching (and participating in) its progression from version 1.0 to 2.0 to 2.5 (beta) I've seen this amazing design tool grow.  Microsoft created it as an design tool for interactive designers - where designers crafted experiences

One of the things that I like to do (and used to do more often) is participate in local user groups. Over the summer, I became the Chair of the SDForum Windows SIG -- the most established Windows developer user group in Silicon Valley. This gives me the opportunity to engage with the community, find out what they're interested in and invite notable speakers to present to the group. Our first meeting will take place this coming Thursday, August 28, at the Microsoft Silicon Valley campus in Mountain
