Conchango and the Tesco project

On the last day of PDC, I caught up with Paul Dawson and Matthew Adams to discuss the work Conchango has done for Tesco, one of the largest online grocery retailer.  The goal of the WPF-based application is to redefine the experience of ordering groceries online and the preview is so impressive it was shown during the Day Two Keynote at PDC (starts around 94:00).

Paul and Matthew walk us through the application in more depth and talk about the development cycle and the attention paid to design.  Typical shopping carts online may fill up with 8 items, imagine designing a shopping cart for 88 items that remains simple enough for dear grandma to use.

Hey - thanks for taking the time to talk to us, Adam. I particularly enjoyed the SFX over the dive into the application at the end!

I could totally see this going on every refrigerator sold.  Except instead of Tesco it would have to be Walmart or some other comparable US company.
