To prepare for the talk he created WinFXHearts.com. Very cool version of the Internet Hearts game. Here we visit his office to get a good look at his application and what developers can do with Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly known as Avalon). Adam wrote more about this on his blog. en Thu, 23 May 2013 02:47:44 GMT Thu, 23 May 2013 02:47:44 GMT Rev9 Re: Adam Nathan - Light up an app with WPF (formerly Avalon)

What was the program, the one that said "What was that?" is it a speech recognition app for vista?

Perplexed

You're taking an uber-cool piece of technology, with a pretty cool name (Avalon) and trying to rename it with some lame acronym - I can understand the need for branding, but this is just insanity! Insanity I tells ya - I mean who wants to develop on something called WPF?... Furthermore, do we really need to be giving more acronyms to the world? I think I'm going to have to start a new cause - People Against Bloody Acronyms (perhaps I could call it PABA)

I love the part of this video where Scoble asks "what's WPF?", after having pointed out that Avalon is now called WPF earlier Big Smile

WPF indeed.

Yes, if you need high performance and full control over your scenegraph and messagepump (CAD apps, or FPS games) go with direct3d. Chris Anderson told us, we should wait for avalon quake, but that was a joke obviously. Smiley

 What type of hardware specs was used to run the Windows Aero and WPF features? what spec do you recommend? I'm shopping for a laptop that can run Windows Aero and WPF sufficiently.

Thanks,
Benjamin
