Presenting Microsoft Surface Service Pack 1 at TechEd
IdentityMine Healthcare Product Selector
To my readers, I apologize about the extended blog post hiatus. I’ve been working on super-duper top-secret stuff that I couldn’t write about. However, now I finally have the opportunity to post one of the projects I’ve been working on!
The Microsoft Surface team invited my company to create an application to demonstrate in front of an audience at TechEd North America 2009. The application is intended to showcase the new features in Surface Service Pack 1. With only two-and-a-half weeks, we worked furiously into the night to get something to show that we could be proud of. To add additional challenges to the project, we needed to use not only the Surface SP1 SDK but also the Microsoft HealthVault SDK and the SDK for the Nonin Onyx II Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter I demonstrated in the application.
Surface SP1 adds lots of new features to the platform that both developers and customers have been asking for that are all centered around making Surface easier for developers to develop for as well as easier for users to use. We highlighted many of the new SP1 features including Object Routing, Seamless Drag and Drop, the LibraryBar, and the ElementMenu.
Congratulations goes out to the entire IdentityMine team for making the end result a smashing success (in alphabetical order): Jamey Baumgardt, Jason Cook, Kurt Brockett, Mark Brown, Jesse Hsia, Issa Johnson, Sameer Thiruthikad, Josh Wagoner and Andrew Whiddett. The session was well attended, the attendees asked lots of interesting questions and people recognize IdentityMine as experts in natural user interface design and development.
You can see IdentityMine’s official page on the presentation and application here. Microsoft’s official announcement of Surface SP1 is here.
There was video recorded of my presentation. I’ll update this post once it’s available online.
