o   BrowserAndPhone – A VS 2010 project that includes a shared control referenced from a Silverlight 3 project and a Silverlight for Windows Phone project

o   InputScopes – An app that puts all the available InputScopes inside a ListBox and applies the selected InputScope to a TextBox

o   Accelerometer – An app that moves a Button based on the accelerometer

o   MediaAndVibrate – An app that shows media playback and the vibration API.

o   HTMLCube – Shows that the WebBrowser control supports transforms and projections

o   ScriptInterop – Shows Silverlight and javascript from the WebBrowser control working together.

o   Chess – The traditional Silverlight chess app ported to the phone.  Instead of using the hosting browser’s script engine, this sample uses the scrip engine in the embedded WebBrowser control.

o   PictureGrayscale – This sample shows the CameraCaptureTask and applying a grayscale to the captured image.

The video of my session isn’t posted yet, I’ll update this post when its available.

Slides - Launches slide deck in Slidentity

Demos

Video

I’ll start with a project I’ve been working on for the last month or so.  Slidentity is a Silverlight 3 based presentation app.  This app lets users create slides and save them to their machine (thanks to the new SaveFileDialog).  The app also lets you view the presentation in fullscreen mode and the transition between slides uses the new Perspective 3D feature to create a spinning cube effect.  Slidentity also runs out of browser and can run when disconnected from the network (it stores its background image library in IsoStore).  Finally, the app can load a slide show from a query string parameter.  If you click the image below, it will run the app with a sample slide deck I created.  Click this link to run the app with a new presentation.

Get the code for Slidentity. 

To be honest, I’m not wild about the name, and I’ll probably change it.  If you have better name suggestions, please leave a comment. 

I’m using Slidentity to give my Silverlight 3 out of browser talk later today.  I’ll post my “slides” and other demos after the talk this afternoon.  Hopefully the MIX crew will get the session videos posted in under 24-hours like they did last year.  When the video is up, I’ll link to that as well.

[Edit] In the rush to get all this stuff posted for MIX, I forgot to give credit to some of the code that helped me create this app.  First I want to thank Mattias Shapiro for his color picker control which I'm using in the product.  Also, Dave Crawford and Tim Huer helped out by pointing me to the final SL2 versions of Dave's glossy control style inside of Blacklight.  .

Joe is giving the first part where he builds the starting point of my demo.  I then add a custom animated layout and a control template on the search button, integrate local storage to remember the last search and browser history integration to be able to use the back and forawrd buttons to navigate between videos.  I've also got a deep zoom demo in the .zip.

I had some help on my demos.  The AnimatingPanelBase class that drives my animating stack panel was written by Robby Ingebretsen.  He's planning to do an in-depth post on layout animations in SL 2.  Also, the NavigationManager class I use for browser history integration was written by Jesse Bishop, one of our interns last summer.

The MIX crew is promising that videos of the talks will be available within 24 hours.  When they're up, I'll post links here.

Update: The videos of the sessions are now live.  (It doesn't look like the deep linking directly to the sessions is working now, but you can find the sessions on the main app by clicking either of the links below.)

I recorded this training on site at Lynda's facilities in Ventura, California in September of 2007 and I spent about 2 months preparing the material before that.  A huge amount of credit goes to Chris Mattia from Lynda for helping to make the training.  Chris was my training development manager (TDM).  He worked with me on the training outline and also sat outside the recording booth, listening to every word I said and making sure that I stayed on course and comments were relevant. 

I took some snapshots of the Lynda.com building while I was there and I finally put them up on Flickr:

This is the lobby of the Lynda.com building.  They have a the Lynda logo etched into a relight.

The LCD TV behind the receptionist desk welcomed me when I arrived in Ventura.

The bathroom in the lobby has a very cool sink.

Here's the booth where the training was recorded in.  I spent way too much time in here. 

This is the inside of the booth.  Notice the huge pile of used scripts in the corner. 

Here's a picture of Chris Mattia, my TDM.  The machines are outside the booth to prevent noise in the recording.  Everything on my monitor was mirrored on Chris'. 

I also created a bunch of sample apps for the training that we didn't have time to use in the recording.  I've got these very well commented and broken out into the steps to build them.  I'll be putting these up shortly. 

·         Improved media performance and stability, especially for full-screen video. This includes improving A/V sync, which provides a better experience on lower-end machines.

·         HTTP redirection now works for images and other media.

·         Improved support for font managers & Mac Office 2008 fonts.

·         Streaming video through proxied network connections only worked through port 80. Silverlight now respects the proxy port settings.

·         Allowing access to all content embedded in .zip files with a non-.zip extension.

·         Support for logging with Windows Media Services

·         Loading XAML from a script tag will now work on all supported browsers.

The first bullet is the big ticket item.  It encompasses 4 sizable perf improvements that really make video in Silverlight hum.  This update will be rolled out to all users running Silverlight v1.0 via the auto-updater built into the plug-in.  If you’re impatient and want to get the update sooner, you can get it from the Silverlight installation page.
