]]> Locating DirectX content on “The Goods” from PDC https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/kamvedbrat/locating-directx-content-on-the-goods-from-pdc Fri, 07 Nov 2008 02:11:03 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/kamvedbrat/2008/11/07/locating-directx-content-on-the-goods-from-pdc/ We’ve had a handful of PDC attendees contact us directly asking for help finding the DirectX related materials on the hard-drive that was handed out as part of “The Goods” at PDC.

If you look in this folder:

\Windows7\Windows_Whitepapers_and_HOLs\High-Fidelity Graphics and Media\DirectX

You will find:

  • Four white-papers about DirectX innovations in Windows 7, including introductions to Direct2D and DirectWrite
  • A zip file containing the source code and documentation for each module of the DirectX Hands-On-Lab that was available in the “the Big Room” at the conference.

As an aside, the code in the Hands-On-Lab includes the examples that Leonardo walked through on stage during our session.

As you've probably guessed by know, I've been busy working on something that is part of Windows 7 for the past year and a half since Windows Vista shipped.

I'll be presenting session PC-18, "Windows 7: New Text and Graphics API's" which will cover a great deal of what I've been working on.

If you haven't done so already you can register for PDC here, and build your own agenda on the sessions page.

In the meantime, Slashfilm has a nice write-up on some super-cool retro poster-art that Eric Tan did for the new Pixar movie WALL-E. Check it out.
