Silverlight and HPC Enable On-Demand Engineering Design

Silverlight and HPC Enable On-Demand Engineering Design
dezineforce (http://www.dezineforce.com) recently completed a proof-of-concept with Microsoft to look at how they could overhaul their user experience using Silverlight 3.

dezineforce offer a scalable, on-demand engineering design capability over the web. Backed by a powerful HPC cluster, their front-end web interface is currently built using HTML and AJAX. They were keen to explore opportunities to build an enhanced experience for their users.

In this video I chat to some of the people involved in the project to get their perspective on the project and the results.

Glenn Pittaway on SDL

Glenn Pittaway on SDL

I'm posting this on behalf of Andrew Fryer who usually posts to TechNet but today has something developer focused for us:

"Glenn Pittaway the Group Program Manager for the Secure development Lifecycle (SDL) talks about the past present and future of SDL.  The SDL methodology is at the core of all development work that has an internet facing element (i.e. virtually everything!) at Microsoft.   You might argue that this gives this gives Microsoft developers an edge over the competition as they can write more secure code more quickly, however these same SDL resources are also publicly available so you can adopt the same approach in your organisation."

Creating 3D Models for WPF Pt4 - Smooth texture to WPF application
3D has traditionally been complex and challenging but with the advent of WPF, incorporating 3D into your applications is much more realistic. These 4 videos walk through the process of building a very simple 3D application. I start by creating a re-usable 3D model of a yoghurt pot in Blender with textured surfaces representing interchangeable product artwork. This model is then imported into a WPF application via Expression Blend. I add some animation and user interaction via the 3D tools…[more ]
