I feel this is a good time for me to present a summary of some of the posts I wrote.. Most Interesting Posts Following are posts that I'm personally proud of. Shake Gestures Library – A Windows Phone Recipe In this post I present an algorithm for detecting shake gestures on a Windows Phone system using the accelerometer sensor. This is by far my favorite post since I actually needed to use some math to solve this one. How To Use a .NET 4 Based DLL From .NET 2 Based Application? In this...
All is set: Conference ticket – check. Plane ticket – check. Hotel – check. Build – Here I come! If everything goes as scheduled, in approx. a month and a half I'll be on the plane to Anaheim California, heading to the biggest conference Microsoft ever produced. Build (AKA PDC 2011) will be all about Windows 8. From some research I've done, which from obvious reasons can't be disclosed at this stage, Windows 8 is going to bring the biggest revolution since .NET was invented. I...
This is it. MIX 2011 journey starts. I’m currently at the airport, waiting in Dan lounge for my flight to Toronto and then Las Vegas. This is the first I’ll attend MIX conference so I have high expectations.. I’m very excited about the trip, waiting for some new Silverlight action and wonder which geek celebrities I’ll meet.. If you come to MIX and want to meet me or any other Sela expert, feel free to contact me via the Blog’s contact form. This year Sela sends a team of 15 (!) software experts...
Since I will arrive on Monday and I’m not participating in the boot camps, I’ve decided to follow Gil Fink ’s footsteps and also offer four 15 minutes consulting sessions FOR FREE! We can discuss about anything, from UI technologies like WPF, Silverlight and WinForms to C# with Interop, COM and Windows 7. All you have to do is contact me through my Blog’s Contact Form or my mail (which can be found on the left column of my blog) with your details and what do you want to talk about. I’ll contact the...
Last week SELA conducted a LIVE interview with all of the speakers at SDP 2011 ( S ela D eveloper P ractice conference). You can catch my interview on the new Sela College Channel: http://www.sela.co.il/y/ArikSprint11 or on YouTube: That’s me on the right :) In my interview I talked about the presentation I’ll deliver on March 15 in the Client track on the topic WPF + Silverlight + Windows Phone 7 = 3-Screens Development where I’ll show how to develop an application to WPF, Silverlight and Windows...
I’ve recently been announced that I was awarded the CodeProject MVP award for the year 2011! The list of 2011 winners can be found here . In this list you can find respectful members of the WPF community like: Josh Smith , Pete O'Hanlon , Sacha Barber and many more. It is an honor for me to be part of this list. In addition, I am now a MCTS (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist) in Windows Application Development using .NET Framework 4, which basically means I passed Microsoft’s official...
My journey to TechEd began with a flight at 12:30 from Natbag , courtesy of Microsoft (thanks again Michal ). Unfortunately, since my flight was at 12:30 (and actually left at 13:00), I had no chance of make it in time to the first session, “Developers Tools and Technologies Keynote” by Jason Zander . This was especially annoying since the entire session revolved around a project I’ve been personally working on for the last few months, named FlashCards.Show . In FlashCards.Show I’ve ported a WPF...
The virtual ink has not yet dried on my PDC 2010 summary and I’ve just been informed that I was chosen to be a guest of Microsoft in TechEd Israel 2010. Thanks, Microsoft, I really appreciate it! If you’re coming to TechEd and want advice on WPF, Windows 7, Silverlight or Windows Phone 7 feel free to stop by for a chat. And make sure you follow my blog for some TechEd development related updates. That’s it for now, Arik Poznanski.
I’ve got a ticket to PDC 2010! I wanted to go since I’ve heard about it this year, but by the time I tried to register, all tickets were: Just when I gave up on this conference (actually two weeks after I gave up), I got phone call saying I got a ticket.. Before I continue, I want to thank all those people at SELA and Microsoft who helped in getting me this ticket, you know who you are.. thank you. So today my flight was booked and tomorrow night I’m leaving. I don’t know yet where I will stay, hopefully...
It has been a year since I’ve started blogging and I think this is a good point for thinking where I was , where I am and where I’m going. In this year I’ve written 46 posts. Not bad, but not nearly as much as I want or as much ideas I have for posts. Unfortunately, (or fortunately?) I enjoy my work so much that I often find myself practicing it on my spare time, leaving less time for blogging. The topics I’ve blogged about where mostly Windows 7 related features (over 70%), the rest is divided between...
Today I’ve attended Developer Academy 4 . Following is my impression on this event. The opening keynotes where presented by several people, each one presented one topic: Guy Burstein (Visual Studio 2010), Brad Abrams (Silverlight 4) and Eliaz Tobias (Windows Azure). As always, Guy’s presentation was very good and fun to watch. I missed the morning sessions because I had a 3 hours session as a Windows 7 expert in “ Meet the Experts ”. It was an interesting experience and the people who came really...
Hi all, I wanted to update you that I've recently began to work as a senior consultant at Sela Group . I'll be consulting on a wide range of development technologies, from the plain C WIN32 API, thru the Windows 7 COM based API, to the latest .NET improvement. I'm really excited to work with Sela's professionals and I know I'm going to enjoy every minute of it. That's it for now, Arik Poznanski
Hello World, If you ask my mom she will say I've been debugging BASIC applications since I was 2 years old. I'm not sure about this story, but I do code since I remember myself. After several years of C++ / MFC / ATL / COM / .NET in the army, I've decided to go ahead and do a double B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science. Now that I've finished I'm ready to re-conquer the .Net world. Among my previous writings are several CodeProject articles on subjects like: Reverse Engineering...
