Overview
Multi-touch technology is popping up everywhere, most recently in Windows 7 and various .NET technologies. Windows 7 has been designed from the ground-up with multi-touch in mind, and the newest versions of WPF and Silverlight are multi-touch capable as well. In this session I will take you through the 4 biggest areas of Microsoft multi-touch technology: Windows 7, WPF4, Silverlight, and Surface. You will learn how to make your applications multi-touch aware and capable using each of these platforms, and learn where multi-touch is heading in the future with regard to Microsoft development.

Building an Application Framework in EF and .Net Slides and Files

Griff Townsend — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 15:51:12 GMT

This .zip file contains the slides and projects used in the "Building an Application Framework using EF and .Net" presentation. A few notes:

The slides are in the pptx format (Office 2007 or Open Office required).
The projects were built using VS 2008, but you can probably open with C# 2008 Express (not tested) or SharpDevelop.
The database has been replaced with a School database model provided by Microsoft. A sql file containing the schema and all data is provided. It will work with SQL Express 2005/2008.
The App.config file may need to be adjusted to properly reflect the location of your database engine.

Enjoy!
