Kinect'ing to Arduino with Visual BasicToday's Hardware Friday post is another Kinect related project, but this time using a couple things we don't see much in the Kinect space, Ardunio and Visual Basic! Kinect controls Arduino wired Servos using Visual Basic 2010 In this project, I use left and right hand movements in Kinect to control… -
21 minutes, 34 secondsUnderstanding Namespaces and Adding References to Assemblies - 17We've avoided any talk about Namespaces, however they serve an important role in the .NET Framework Class Library as well as in our custom class libraries we may choose to create. We explain how Namespaces allow us to disambiguate classes that may share the same name. Additionally, we explain how… -
22 minutes, 35 secondsUnderstanding Event Driven Programming - 23In this lesson we demonstrate how events are utilized in the .NET Framework Class Library specific to Silverlight, WPF and ASP.NET Web Forms applications.
