Building Apps with HTML5: What You Need to Know
with
Ely Lucas, Senior
Software Developer |
| |
HTML5 is here, and the Web will never be the same.
|
| |
The future of the web is HTML5 -- a very important (and much
needed) update to the HTML standard.
There is a lot of hype around HTML5, and many questions
surrounding it. In this session, you will find out exactly
what HTML5 is, what it can do, and what the future of HTML5
and application development in general will look like. We
will discuss how HTML5 coincides with tools and technologies
we use today on the Microsoft platform.
You
will leave knowing how to put HTML5 features to work in your
applications today. |
| |
Start adopting HTML5 today.
The Web won’t ever be the same, really!
Start now by building the next great
Web applications using HTML5.

My Life as a
Super Hero – Coding to Save Lives
with
Shane Reid,
Director,
Research and Development, Zoll |
| |
If our applications can help increase cardiac survival rates
1% - we will save 4,600 more people each year. Really, how
many people did Aquaman ever save?
Developing life-critical applications that span
organizations, environments, and platforms requires a
careful orchestration of architecture, process, and
fault-tolerant systems.
We will
discuss the trials and tribulations of developing an
integrated yet disparate platform of applications with
technologies ranging from WCF, WPF, ASP.NET MVC, Metro and
even iOS (there always has to be a villain, right?) |
|
| |
|
| |
Shane
Reid
|
| |
|
| |
| |
 |
Shane Reid completed graduate
school at Colorado State University in math and computer
science.
He then worked at a variety of software development
positions for Hewlett-Packard. Finding a greater challenge,
he then co-owned a small software company, Fairplay
Technologies, specializing in automated test tools and
display driver development. His company was acquired by 3dfx
Interactive where Shane held a management position
responsible for Glide and OpenGL drivers and SDKs. |
| |
Sensing an
opportunity to move on and harboring a desire to return to
Colorado, Shane left technology (and anything like a decent
salary) to become a paramedic here on the Front
Range. Gaining six years experience saving lives provided
the perfect springboard to his current life where he found
ZOLL in Broomfield. He now gets to deliver products that he
would have liked to have had when he was a paramedic! |

Learn the basics of creating an application for
Windows Phone!
During our labs, we
will demonstrate building and testing an application. You
will each receive step-by-step instructions to see how it's
all done.
The next lab shows various things unrelated to what has been
done already, such as responding to the phone being turned
sideways -- it does not matter if you missed all the
labs so far! Come! If you are interested in
developing for Windows Phone, meet others!
Join the
Yahoo group for aspiring Windows Phone
Developers to share information so we can all
benefit in creating great applications for the Windows Phone
-- just started by our own Ken Hollister.
Completed lessons and files available on Skydrive and YouTube at least one week before each lab - so review, catch up, and come to the live labs!
See: LearnByCrystal on
Skydrive
for documents and
YouTube for video tutorials. |
