what’s new hardwareCLEAN, LIGHT, OPEN, FAST
• feels fast and responsive• focus on primary tasks• do a lot with very little• fierce reduction of unnecessary elements• delightful use of whitespace• full bleed canvas
CELEBRATE TYPOGRAPHY
• type is beautiful, not just legible• clear, straightforward information design• uncompromising sensitivity to weight, balance and scale
ALIVE IN MOTION
• feels responsive and alive• creates a system• gives context to improve usability• transition between UI is as important as the design of UI• adds dimension and depth
CONTENT, NOT CHROME
• delight through content instead of decoration• reduce visuals that are not content• content is the UI• direct integration with the content
AUTHENTICALLY DIGITAL
• design for the form factor• don’t try to be what it’s not• be direct

(except shaders and some small limitations)

DEVELOPMENT II
sensors
• vibration
• accelerometer
• location
DEVELOPMENT
input media browser and more
VibrateController vc = VibrateController.Default;vc.Start(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3));
var accelerometer = new Accelerometer();accelerometer.ReadingChanged += (s, e) => { textBox.Text = String.Format("{0}:{1}:{2}", e.X, e.Y, e.Z); };accelerometer.Start();
GeoCoordinateWatcher watcher = new GeoCoordinateWatcher(GeoPositionAccuracy.Low);
input
• TextBox supports different input scopes– Text, Url, Number, Time, TelephoneNumber,
etc
• microphone input gives access to raw WAV data– calls BufferReady regularly, or the app can
call GetData at any time
• silverlight toolkit has support for all your gesturing needs– tap, hold, swipe, flick, pinch&zoom
DEVELOPMENT
media browser and more sensors
media
• hardware accelerated• xna framework sound effect api– supports polyphonic, looping wav data
• some limitations exist– only one MediaElement per page– no VideoBrush support
DEVELOPMENT
browser and more sensors input
browser
• displays local and network content• supports pan, double tap and pinch for
zooming• no in-browser silverlight for now :(• interacting with javascript and vice versa
DEVELOPMENT
and more sensors input media
string result = webBrowser.InvokeScript(“Hello”, “Hello from Silverlight”);
function Hello(arg) { document.write(arg) }
void webBrowser_ScriptNotify(object sender, NotifyEventArgs e){ MessageBox.Show(e.Value) }
window.external.notify(“Hello from JavaScript”);
and more
• silverlight toolkit – things that should have been out of the box– DatePicker and TimePicker and ListPicker– page transitions– ToggleSwitch–WrapPanel– AutoCompleteBox– and many more
• lots of cool and useful libs on codeplex
DEVELOPMENT
sensors input media browser
