去る2008年8月26日から29日まで、パシフィコ横浜にてマイクロソフト主催のTech Ed 2008 Yokohamaが 開催されました。 インフラジスティックス・ジャパンも出展を行いましたが、私は1日目、3日目にブースにて弊社の NetAdvantage for .NET、NetAdvantage for WPF、NetAdvantage for Silverlight(仮) のデモや説明をしていました。 昨年もブースには居たのですが、今年はWPF、Silverlight2 への関心が非常に高まったように感じられ、 特にSilverlight2 ...

昨日、TechEdにいってきました。いろいろ面白い製品となかなか興味深いプレゼンをいくつか拝見させていただきました。（ちなみに弊社エバンジェリスト池原のプレゼンはおかげさまで「立見のみ」になりました！さすが「ユーザーエクスペリエンス向上委員会」会長！笑） イベント終了後、「Microsoft Innovation Award & ...

There are a ton of resources out there to help developers (and designers) make better Web sites and applications, but I wanted to draw out three that I think will have a very high ROI for any developer who is building for the Web.  You could easily consume these three resources in a weekend and, if you apply them, will see immediate positive ...

This year—coming up very soon—Infragistics will be co-hosting devscovery with Wintellect!  This is going to be awesome.  Not too long ago, I blogged about how Infragistics is an MVP squirrel.  We’re bringing those nuts to this conference as well as some of our seasoned control developers and designers to bring you the best content ...

I was scheduled to do a talk today called "Building Great UX with .NET" today at the SouthCT .NET UG.  Well, mother nature had other plans, and I had to reschedule for 8 April.  So I have this wonderful presentation all prepared and nowhere to do it (yet). :)  I'm sure it will surface more than once throughout the ...

皆さん、見ましたか？Ｓｉｌｖｅｒｌｉｇｈｔを使って、楽しいクールウオールのサンプルアプリケーションです。   本来であれば、SilverligthのＬＯＢ（業務用の）アプリケーションをテーマにしたかったのです。Ｓｉｌｖｅｒlｉｇｈｔ１．０ではＬＯＢは難しいといわれていますが、Silverlight ２．０ですと、かなり期待できると思います。しかしSilverlight ２．０のＥＵＬＡ（ソフトウェア使用許諾契約）をよく読むと、Silverlight 2.0を使ったサイトを正式に公開できません。マイクロソフトはまだ許可していないそうです。 まぁ～、年末が近づいているし、どうしてもクリスマスの気分になりました。遊びなんですが、ご紹介します。私が作成したCool ...

Ｗｏｗ！昨日開催されたのVS2008Launchにマイクロソフト様よりご招待をいただいたことに大変感謝をしています。昨日のイベントは１２月にリリース予定のVS2008のマスコミへの発表会でした。（ＶＳ２００８の英語版は先週ＲＴＭしました。）インフラジスティックスはマイクロソフト様からこのイベントへの参加の打診をいただきました。幸いにもVS2008の優れた点を上げることはとても簡単です。最高の開発環境ツールといっても過言ではないでしょう。  個人的にはデザイナーと開発者がアプリケーション開発上で協力し合えるということは喜ばしいことだと思っています。もう見苦しいアプリケーションはうんざりなのです。グラフィックデザイナーと共同して、アプリケーションの見栄えをもっとよくしましょう ...

You know what really grinds my gears?  Bad UX! I came across this login prompt today on a local county college library's website and it was just one more example of horrible UX that I see all too often and makes me physically sick: What's wrong with this?  Oh geeze... where do I start!? What's with the horizontal ...

A buddy of mine sent me a link to the most concise article on usability I've seen in a while.  There may not be a slew of brand new ideas in here, but it is a great checklist of standard and common practices and ideas.  It starts with age-old, simplistic axioms such as the ''7+-2 rule'', the ''2-second rule'', and the ''3-click ...

It's been a while since I last blogged something but that's because I've been hard working on our latest exemplar at Infragistics.  It's a WPF ''reference application'' and is released.... RIGHT NOW!  So if you want to learn some good techniques about including a WPF application in an enterprise realm, take a look at Tangerine! It's ...

Grant Hinkson (our Director of Visual Design at Infragistics) and I will be doing our talk ''Meeting in the Middle - Designer/Developer Interaction in WPF.''  It looks like we have the first breakout session on Tuesday, October 9 at 9:00 AM.  Take a look to see what other sessions are going on:  ...

Thanks to a sharp co-worker of mine, I was recently introduced to ''Magic Ink: Information Software and the Graphical Interface,'' by Bret Victor.  It was quite an interesting read; Victor makes a lot of good points.  For instance, he suggests that we should view information software as graphic design, i.e., taking the concerns of ...

Come check us out if you'll be in the area!  Ambrose Little and I will be giving our WPF and UX talk on Thursday, August 2 at the New Jersey Microsoft Developer's Group in Iselin, NJ.  We've got some exciting new stuff if you've already heard this talk from us!   August 2nd, 2007 Windows Presentation Foundation, Infragistics ...

Saturday, May 19th I'll be speaking in the Poconos in Pennsylvania at TECH Bash 2007.  If you'll be in the area, make sure you attend! Session Topic:  Humanizing Software:  Creating Better User Experience with WPF Session Description:  End Users today expect great and exciting experiences in their software that allow ...

In an effort to improve your install experience, we'd like to get some opinions on the following question. If you are evaluating a software product, what do you prefer to do: A) Download everything, including help, samples, SDK, etc. at once, even if it may be half a gig. B) Just download the product bits first and then either download the ...
