Demo code from my session about Live Tiles & Push Notification for Windows Phone on Microsoft TechDays Canada TV
I'd like to thank all of you who attended my session about Live Tiles & Push Notifications on Windows Phone on the Microsoft TechDays Canada TV ! Live tiles, channeled with Push Notifications, are important for your application's user experience, and are very easily created in either Silverlight or XNA, and with a notification service residing anywhere on the cloud, with Azure being the better solution. To make it even easier- you can find and download all of the code samples and demos...
“Push Notifications and Live Tiles in Windows Phone” lecture for the TechDays Canada TV on April 24th.
I’m preparing a lecture about “Push Notifications and Live Tiles in Windows Phone” for the TechDays Canada TV ( @techdays_ca ), which is due April 24th. Here’s summary of the lecture : “In Windows Phone, an application does not have to run in order to communicate with the user, rather the Push Notifications and Live Tiles features can be used in order to present live and dynamic information to the user over the pinned applications’ tiles and by prompting pop-up notifications over the phone screen...
Code samples from my "WCF Crash Course" @ SDP March 2012 conference
I just finished lecturing "WCF Crash Course" at the SDP March 2012 conference in front of a crowded room. Thank you all who attended my tutorial day, and please see the code samples in my SkyDrive, here . If you can still find room (and I doubt it..), don't miss Ido Flatow 's amazing and thorough Advance WCF session.
Code samples from my "WCF Crash Course" tutorial day in SDP December 2011
I'd like to thank all of you who attended my tutorial day, titled "WCF Crash Course", which is part of the SDP December 2011 conference. The day started by explaining the basics of SOA and WCF, showing how easy it is to integrate WCF into any distributed application while not compromising on flexibility, extendibility, performance, and customability. I then moved through the various aspects of WCF, including- contracts, various binding types and abilities, interoperability, security...
Building Metro-Style Games- On the coming Sela-Developer-Practice 4-8 December
Gaming is the current trend in phones and tablets, with 50% of the applications sold today being games. On the coming Sela Developer Practice dev-days I will give a full-day tutorial about building metro-style games for the upcoming Windows 8 operating-system. In this tutorial I will talk about game design and planning, choosing the technology for your next Metro game for Windows 8, using graphics and input APIs, and enhancing it with audio and video. The tutorial will take place at Sela College...
Kinect Gestures
After a long wait- Microsoft finally released the beta SDK for Kinect on PC earlyer this week. Being one of the first to ever get an XBOX 360, waited for two years for Kinect to arrive (it was called "NATAL" back then) and been waiting for the ability to fiddle with it ever since, I gladly downloaded and installed the SDK. Well, the first thing to say about is that it's fun! But, without still going into the raw detail- the main issue is the collection of joints you receive from the...
WCF Crash Course at Sela Dev Days
Ido Flatow and I gave a crash course (full day of study- 9am thorugh 5pm) about WCF at the Sela Dev-Days. Starting with "What is WCF" and demostrating how to build simple services, we went through the complete "whats" and "hows" of the WCF ideas. We showed how to build services, understand and define contracts, and choose between the different ways to host and monitor services. As the day went on we also dived even deeper into security, reliabilty and the different options...
SOA to the Works
Tomorrow (16 Mar 2011) at 13:00 I will be giving a lecture at the Sela Developer Practice (taking place at the Crown Plaza hotel- Tel Aviv), labeled: " SOA to the Works- Integrating AppFabric, WCF 4, and WF 4 ". In this lecture I plan to describe SOA key attributes through the eyes of WCF and WF, and show how they integrate along with AppFabric to create SOA applications. I also plan to create an on-the-spot architecture for an application that requires SOA and show how it all adds-up....
What did I just code?
Microsoft .Net and Visual Studio (especially the latest 2010 over 4.0) offer many automatic tools and code sugar that allows us to write code faster and safer. But, every once in a while it is recommended to peek under the hood and see what the compiler had in mind, and how far it is from what we originally meant in our code. I do that using the .Net Reflector , lately becoming a paid product and yet worth its price, at least for me. For example- I guess you're already familiar with Lambda expressions...
SDP is Over!
The conference is officially over. After giving the last "What's new in WCF v4.0" lecture with Noam (which was recorded and videoed), both of us joined the rest to the experts panel in the main hall, which was also videoed by Sela. Many issues arose- some initiated by the experts, some came from the audience. At some point, Ido , Gil and I re-joined Oren Eini for yet another round at the NHibernate/Entity-Framework arena, where we finally agreed not to agree. I'd just like to exclaim...
Summary of ORM day (2) in SDP
Well, it was a full tutorial day. Full of ORM. After Ido gave his overview and introduction to ORM and EF, Bernie and I had our NHibernate vs. Entity-Framework head-to-head dog fight. Well, who won, you ask? Depends on who you ask... :-) Well, we really didn't aim to select one for you, we tried to show you the similarities and differences and help you choose for yourself. We were followed by Gil's Deep Dive into Entity Framework, and then Bernie and I spoke about ORM Pattens and showed some...
SDP - What's new in WCF 4.0?
Don't forget Noam Sheffer's and mine presentation on SDP , day 4 (Wendenday), regarding what's new in WCF 4.0. As WCF evolved, new features came to life. We'll talk about WS-Discovery, Serialization and Configuration enhancements, Routing and a few other issues. Of-course, code talks and bullshit walks... There will be slides, but there will also be code to back them up.
