Sharing Code with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8

bendewey — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:43:51 +0000

Another great day at VSLive in Las Vegas. Today was the really fun, and geeky, talk for me were we dive into some of the internals of Reference Assemblies and Type Forwarding that make Portable Class Libraries possible. You never know what you will find when you crack open ILDASM and start poking around. In addition I showed some neat tricks involving Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 apps using my LeadPro app as a demo.

As with all my demos here at VSLive the all the code is available on GitHub at http://github.com/bendewey/LeadPro, you can also see all my slides here.

Thanks again to anyone who came out. I’d love to hear from you if you have any comments about my session or if you are writing apps. Feel free to add a comment here or reach out to me directly.

Silverlight using MEF presentation at Philly.NET Code Camp

bendewey — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 03:55:07 +0000

We had a great time at the Philly.NET Code Camp event, this was a legendary event that sadly I hadn’t attended before. In addition to giving my talk on using MEF with Silverlight, I had a great time debating hot topics with other developers in the Open Spaces room, a tradition I hope continues at further Philly.NET Code Camps.

Silverlight Unit Testing at NOVA Code Camp

bendewey — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 02:19:09 +0000

This past weekend was my first time at Nova Code Camp and I had a good time presenting my Unit Testing Silverlight. I showed everyone the Silverlight Unit Testing Framework that comes with the Silverlight Toolkit. I added a port to the Windows Phone 7 and we were able to run the same tests in silverlight for web and the phone.

Thank you to everyone that attended. My slides and Race Car Application are available for download using the links below.

Updates

Since we had so many good questions, we didn’t have a chance to cover the delete feature. I’ve included this in the sample source code along with some code comments related to how it was created. Please feel free to post comments here if you have any questions.

Disclaimer

We briefly talked about the concept of RESTful web services. Please note that our sample is missing a few components of REST webservice (ie. using the DELETE method, and proper URI templating). For more information on building RESTful webservices see the slides and samples from my Alt.NET REST Presentation
