My main machine uses what one manager used to call "the monkey
keyboard". It's one of those split ergonomic jobs. So, when I go
type on a laptop, especially a smaller laptop like my x220, my
typing speed and accuracy aren't exactly production-quality.
In addition, fast-paced "lap around" demos often require either
a bunch of pre-build projects, or a lot of code snippets. There are
ton...

On April 24th I helped run the patterns & practices
Symposium 2012 Online on Channel 9. All of the videos are currently up and viewable
on-demand.
As part of the event, I gave a talk on the .NET Micro Framework. I had a ton
of fun doing it, and got to show off a lot of great gear. Take a
look and let me know what you think.
I'll have the demos and presentation pptx uploaded ...

At the South Florida Code Camp last week, I gave an early
morning talk titled "Getting Started with XAML". In this talk, I
covered the basics of XAML, the property system, layout, and other
things you need to know as a XAML developer for WPF, Silverlight,
or Windows 8.

At the South Florida Code Camp last week, I presented the ".NET
Micro Framework and .NET Gadgeteer". The primary demo was the
Gadgeteer diaper monitor, but I also showed off hardware, wired
some LEDs to the Netduino etc.

At the South Florida Code Camp I gave a newer version of the
REST Silverlight talk using the just released MVC 4 Beta and
ASP.NET Web API.
This talk shows how to share code between different versions of
the framework, how to use the ASP.NET Web API from Silverlight, and
how to integrate a Silverlight application into an MVC 4 site.

This talk was an adaptation of two chapters from Silverlight 5
in Action. I started with a brief explanation of REST, and then
explained the solution we were going to build during the session.
The idea was to show how you can use REST in place of the heavier
Soap approach in many cases, and make your services accessible to
far more clients.
I also showed how to share model objects bet...

I had the pleasure of speaking at Tech Ed Atlanta last week.
While there, I also spoke at the Atlanta Silverlight User Group.
The week prior, I also got to speak at the Hampton Roads .NET User
Group in Virginia Beach, VA. I had a great time at of them, and met
some great developers interested in Silverlight and WPF.
Here are the materials from those events

At DevConnections (Silverlight Connections) this year, I gave a
short session on moving your applications from Windows Forms to
Silverlight.In that session, I covered a little bit of WinForms, a
little Entity Framework Code First, and a lot of code shuffling. I
did a bit with the Silverlight navigation framework, and even a
little bit of Word automation via COM Automation.
Here's th...

Another talk I really enjoy doing is the "10 things" talk. I
recently gave this talk at DevLink 2010 in Nashville.
This covers 10 things that every Silverlight and
WPF developer should have in their core skillset. It's a
semi-beginner topic for accomplished developers who don't yet know
Silverlight or WPF.
The slide deck itself is pretty much empty. I tell the audience
that tha...

Prior to working at Microsoft, I had some customers who wanted
to dual target both WPF and Silverlight. Since then, Windows Phone 7 has
been added into the mix. With all these similar technologies, all
using xaml, multi-targeting applications can be a reality. It's not
without its challenges, however.
At DevLink 2010, I presented my "Dual Targeting" talk. I've
presented this talk at a...
