Summary of two openparty events in Chengdu from January 1, February 3

Openparty Chengdu held its event in February March 10 on the past Saturday (December March) as scheduled. For more information, see http://www.chengdu-open-party.org/event/3. This activity is the same as last month's activity (http://www.chengdu-open-party.org/event/2) (February 11), full of popularity, rich and interesting topics. This is all due to the popularity of beauty Yao. The number of participants in both activities reached approximately 40.

Here, I will briefly summarize two short keynote speeches on the two events: lightswitch introduction and Kinect introduction.

Lightswtich Introduction

When I started, I first invited a pretty girl (non-professional Developer) to come on stage. I gave her oral instructions and she operated it manually. within 10 minutes, she developed a cloud application with a signed table.

Next, I will introduce to you what is lightswitch and what is its purpose and purpose? You can refer to my previous blog post "Visual Studio lightswitch initial experience and positioning views" or infoq'sArticleLightswitch-a professional development tool that Microsoft will launch to address problems.

At the same time, I also briefed you on the principle of lightswitch and the supporting technologies behind it. To put it simply, lightswitch is Microsoft Based on Silverlight (especially OOB), WCF Ria, ADO. Net EF and other technologies, and fully utilizes the IDE'sCodeThe generation function greatly improves the development efficiency and simplifies the development difficulty through these technologies.

Of course, we finally discussed the practicality of lightswitch and the feelings about this tool. Through discussions with everyone, we have gained a lot.

Kinect Introduction

In fact, this keynote speech is short, but I started with a very big name-welcome to the Nui era-the Kinect. With such a name, I just want to express to you that the Nui era is approaching with the great attention of the hot selling of Kinect and Siri and other functions, developers must be fully prepared for Nui development, and product managers must also fully consider Nui when designing products. Even through Nui, we can propose many innovative products.

In over 10 minutes, I mainly talked about the following:

1. What is Nui. Nui and nature user interface, as the name suggests, are used to interact with the computer in a more natural way. They can talk to the PC and gesture (motion capture and recognition) if not speculative ), even PC can identify who you are and how you feel through your face. Of course, you can touch your PC face with your hands and feet. The above is just my personal understanding of Nui. For more professional explanations, you can search for encyclopedias, such as "natural user interface". or the Microsoft Research Institute's article "where is the natural user interface?.

2. Describes when and what components the Kinect consists. Basically, Kinect is composed of three more cameras, two 3D Deep cameras, and one color camera to identify the action; the base is also a servo motor that can be used to adjust the left and right angles to achieve automatic tracking. The significance of the Cross-era version of Kinect is that it provides enough Nui devices for development on such simple and low-cost hardware, which will surely attract the popularity of Nui applications.

3. Next I introduced some history of Kinect, and also talked about the differences between Kinect for Xbox 360 and Kinect for Windows. Kinect for Windows was released in September. It supports near-distance mode and commercial applications.

4. For the commercial application of Kinect, I have played a Microsoft promotional video-Microsoft Outlook: changing the future of a PC by logging on to a PC by using this video, we can see that Kinect can play a role in education, medical care, and public security. For more cases and videos, visit Microsoft's the Kinect effect.

5. Finally, let's talk about the fact that the hardware and programming APIs of Kinect are relatively simple. What we need to do is to use our imagination to create the next generation of applications that support natural and humanized interaction.Program.

Welcome to the openparty Chengdu

Finally, we welcome you to join our openparty event in Chengdu (held once a month) and share your thoughts and knowledge in all aspects of the openparty. For more information about openparty Chengdu, visit http://www.chengdu-open-party.org /. We are looking forward to meeting you during the April event. At the next activity, I will share a non-technical topic "low carbon is not a simple slogan!".
