Desktop apps: WPF 4.5 and Visual Studio 2012
Nov 07, 2012 at 12:04 PM@swythan I mention that in the talk. You can go with a callback approach if you'd like.

Nov 06, 2012 at 7:03 PMBTW, the dialog sizing issue at 0:27:00 or so is not just because I'm at 1366x768, but also because I'm running at high DPI. I forgot that my laptop is 125%, so I was actually getting less than 768 in height -- not a typical scenario.

There's more than one way to do just any given task. I tend to use the mouse. There's nothing wrong with that nor anything inherently cooler about remembering the key combinations

Preshow Day 1
Nov 04, 2012 at 7:58 PMUpdate: I see Lenovo released a ton of Windows 8 drivers while I was up in Redmond. Performance should be even better now.

Actually, it runs better on the Surface (Windows RT) in part because the Lenovo doesn't have Windows 8 touch drivers (it's running Win7 drivers which work just fine, but aren't tweaked). Jordan starts showing it off about halfway through this video. Jordan also played with a Sony Vaio Tap 20 which is an i7 with Win8 and ran extremely well. The Surface performance was similar, but with the smaller screen (the Vaio is 20" a portable tablet-like PC)
Trivia: Jordan plays with the Surface upside down so he doesn't accidentally hit the capacitive Windows button which is normally at the bottom. The app doesn't have any overly special code to handle orientation: it just works.

Nov 02, 2012 at 2:14 PM@artkun oh, we knew. We had to give it a full 5 minutes to boot up before it could be played. Great synth, but slow to start up.
Windows 8 and the .NET Micro Framework
Oct 22, 2012 at 7:02 AM@Alex it should be possible to adapt this to Netduino Go, but you'll have to find some other WiFi solutions.
I suggest posting to http://netduino.com forums and asking for advice there. Just tell them you want to do this project, but using the Netduino Go, and you can't use stuff that can't be shipped to the Russian Federation. Ask for advice on what to substitute and where to get it from.
Also check http://seeedstudio.com and see if they'll ship to you. They carry the GHI modules (but not the mainboards, for some reason) there as well. Using that, you could use an Xbee module and a motor control module with the Netduino Go and the Gadgeteer adapter for Netduino Go. The code may differ a little, but most of it will be the same.
