Finally! IdentityMine can talk about Microsoft Surface

2008-08-12T17:28:00Z

It’s been a long time coming. Having the opportunity to be one of the first Microsoft Surface partners was both an honor and a curse. An honor in every way imaginable and a curse in that we couldn ’t talk about it. Take a look at the following video for a small sampling of the many Surface applications we’ ve built thus far: Of note you saw an application built specifically for Bill Gates last CES presentation as a Microsoft employee . Expect to see many more Surface applications from IdentityMine...(read more)

First ever production quality Silverlight 2 application

2008-06-04T05:19:00Z

Back in March 2007 I blogged about the first ever production quality WPF application . Now that Bill Gates announced Crossfader v.Next at TechED 2008 can we say we’ ve seen the first ever production quality Silverlight 2 application? Keep watching www.crossfader.com and decide for yourself. True, we’re talking SL 2 Beta 2 bits at this point. However, I said production quality – not production bits. ;-) Congratulations Team!: David Kelley, Haridas Nair, Joy George, Kurian George, Paul Alexander, Paul...(read more)

Microsoft invited IdentityMine India to participate in the Kochi, India Microsoft Innovation Days event on May 30th.

Dr. WPF trumps Dr. Spock on "conceptual children"

2008-05-20T00:00:00Z

Congratulations Dr. WPF on winning this month’s C# article competition at http://www.thecodeproject.com/ I’m not going to pretend to know all the ins and outs of this article . (A little too technical for me) However, when Dr. WPF speaks about any topic WPF I think those in the industry should listen....(read more)

Top Silverlight Contributor

2008-05-15T22:00:00Z

Congratulations Jim Mangaly for hitting the top 10 list on the Silverlight forums. Every time I check he seems to climb the ranking. Last I checked he was #3. It’s challenging to find time to share when you’re so busy shipping applications. Thanks for the extra effort Jim! Jim recently participated in an agency training tour assisting Microsoft promote Silverlight adoption in India. He is also scheduled to speak at Microsoft Innovation Days on May 30 th ....(read more)

New WPF / Blend book hits the Market!

2008-03-28T06:32:00Z

I’m very proud to announce a new book from one of our very own at IdentityMine. Congratulations Mr. Victor Gaudioso!! In Victors own words, “This book is for you if you know the basics of object-oriented programming (OOP) and have some programming experience in languages (such as JavaScript, ActionScript, C++, Visual Basic, Java, and C,) but have not used WPF.” Victor is a very animated and entertaining individual. I was pleased to see his engaging personality come through in his writing. Nice job...(read more)

The New Iteration - XAML Love

2007-12-08T08:13:00Z

Very nice whitepaper from Karsten Januszewski and Jaime Rodriguez . This is the type of communication we need to see more regularly from Microsoft. Hopefully the type of information that will grow the WPF ecosystem. Anecdotaly - I had the pleasure of spending a week in Spain at TechED Barcelona. I was there to talk to people about our WPF Controls . However, I spent the vast majority of my time educating enterprise developers on the need for good design and the user experience. Tim Sneath comments...(read more)

TechED Barcelona - blendables first conference booth and opportunity to directly interact with the masses.

The result…very positive. Thank you TechED attendees, the IdentityMen have enjoyed talking to you! The mix of conversations have been interesting including those who truly appreciate the need for design and new...(read more)

WPF Controls get interesting with blendables™

2007-10-13T04:56:00Z

It's official! IdentityMine is both a product and services company. The press release announcing general availability of blendables went live on October 9, 2007. I feel this is a milestone event for both our company and WPF as a presentation technology. Thus far, WPF hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves as a UX technology. Due to the nature of our business, IdentityMine knows its true potential. Our intentions are to use blendables as a vehicle to provide the UX community the tools and processes...(read more)

IdentityMine at REMIX UK & TechED

2007-10-03T03:34:00Z

Great shot of Robby Ingebretsen from the London Eye. He's saying something like - London Rocks, WPF rules or possibly...I'll put your eyes out if you use that flash again - Not sure. Regardless, Robby is an extremely interesting and entertaining guy. If you get the chance to chat with him you should do so. At London REMIX he and Paul Dawson of Conchango co-presented on three sessions highlighting WPF & Silverlight, user centered design and the value of a good Designer / Developer workflow...(read more)
