I apologize but right now the videos on the site are not working. This is something that I was expecting since silverlight.live.com which was hosting my streaming files was scheduled to be shut down, it just snuck up on me and I wasn’t proactive enough. I need to find a new solution to hosting the files and hopefully I will have the videos back up shortly.
Apologies.
J.

The DOM tree view shows you exactly where each element "lives" within the document object and every element from which it inherits properties, exactly as rendered by the selected browser.

One of the cool new features of Windows 7 is a sensor platform that unifies the way that Windows 7 applications work with sensors. For .NET developers, we’ve released a Windows API Code Pack that makes it easy to create .NET applications that use the sensor platform. The Sensor Platform supports biometric, electrical, environmental, light, location, mechanical, motion, orientation, and scanner sensors. The platform is also extensible to be able to sense other types of activities, so for example if you wanted to sense a Mass Effect, you could write a sensor for it.
I wanted to try out creating an easy way for Expression Blend users to design applications that use sensors, so I created a Sensor Trigger that has a custom editor. The custom editor shows the available sensors, the status of each sensor as well as the when sensor data is reported.
I uploaded the source code and a demo project to the Expression Gallery for developers and designer to try out. I’d love any feedback on this - make sure you rate the behavior in the gallery.

Title: How to Architect a Killer App for Windows 7
Abstract: Ever since its recent launch, Windows 7 has been enjoying rapid consumer adoption and glowing press reviews. This makes it a great platform to launch your next Killer App! In this session, we will explore how to architect an application to take advantage of several compelling Windows 7 features including multi-touch, integrated search and multi-processor improvements. We will review how others have exploited this growing "Windows 7 channel" to deliver applications ranging from enterprise line of business applications to consumer oriented, "mass appeal" applications (think Social Networking clients). As a bonus, we'll demonstrate how to quickly build Internet Explorer 8 Web Slices and Accelerators to complement your Killer App and to provide new channels to extend your reach. If you've got a great idea for a Killer App, don't miss this session. If you design, architect, and/or develop applications for fun/profit, then this fast-paced session is for you.

I was chatting with a customer last week about how they were using Silverlight for their B2B portal. They were having some difficulty with showing and hiding the DataGrid component’s Row Detail template programmatically. I found a WPF-oriented solution to the problem on StackOverflow and adapted it to an Expression Blend Behavior to make the solution more modular and reusable.
I posted the behavior with a sample to the Expression Gallery. If you try it out, please give it an appropriate rating.

Dr. Robert Epstein's Ideation by 'Shifting'
If you are headed to the IxDA conference next week, come on down to my workshop on team play. We will be playing games, problem-solving, exploring different creative stimulus; more importantly we will be having a blast. Why would I do a talk on play, you ask? Simple, play is a critical part of how humans learn and problem solve. If you want to make truly innovative experiences, you need to be able to experiment with fun, games and creative team play. Candy, markers, toys and imagination included. No batteries required.
The IxDA conference is currently sold out, but you can still register for SXSW Interactive. I will be giving a workshop on design process…more on that soon : D
