Contoso HealthCare WPF App Source Now Available

10/31/2006 10:06:26 AM
Source code for the Contoso Healthcare Application is now posted on the community site! (Thanks Karsten!) This is a great app. It showcases, among other things:
  • 3D fliptransitions. (This UX paradigm is similar to a doctor’s real world experience of flipping through a patient chart.)
  • Data visualization on a 3D surface for fast comparison.
  • Listbox styling dependent on level of information desired.
  • Annotations on video.
  • Patient diagnosis in flow document format.

New DevCare Registration Site

10/16/2006 4:46:26 PM
For those of you in the Minneapolis, Chicago, St Louis, Detroit, Cinncinati, Louisville, or Indianapolis areas, a new, snazzy web site is now avaible for you to see what is going on with DevCare each month. No RSS feed as of yet, but hopefully one in the future. Next up for October:

Incorporating Agile Development into Your Organization
Does your team want to improve the success rate of projects and produce higher quality code? This month DevCares will explore how to combine Agile development processes with Visual Studio 2005 Team System. You’ll learn how to track progress and predict success without adding heavyweight processes on top of an already busy development team. You’ll also see how to improve software quality and accuracy through Test Driven Development.

  • Session 1: Incorporating Agile Development into Your Organization
  • Session 2: Test Driven Development with Visual Studio 2005 Team System
