What is NUI? Wikipedia defines it as: Natural user interface , or NUI , is the common parlance used by designers and developers of computer interfaces to refer to a user interface that is effectively invisible, or becomes invisible with successive learned interactions, to its users. The word natural is used because most computer interfaces use artificial control devices whose operation has to be learned. A NUI relies on a user being able to carry out relatively natural motions, movements or gestures that they quickly discover control the computer application or manipulate the on-screen content. The most descriptive identifier of a NUI is the lack of a physical keyboard and/or mouse. Josh Blake of Infostrat joins Pixel8 to discuss NUI development in .NET. Josh is the author of the upcoming book Multitouch on Windows from Manning . Reaching far beyond theory and the niche market of Microsoft Surface, NUI development is now possible with Silverlight and WPF development on Windows 7 and Windows 7 Mobile devices. In our interview Josh demystifies what NUI is, makes a distinction between gestures and manipulations, and talks about what is possible today for NUI development. For more from Josh make sure to check out his book: and watch his MIX Presentation: Developing Natural User Interfaces with Microsoft Silverlight and WPF 4 Touch Resources Mentioned in the Show Check out the following videos that show the roots and future of NUI development: Jeff Han's Multi-Touch TED Presentation Microsoft Surface Project Natal MIX10 Day 2 Keynote A few times during our talk Bill Buxton’s work is mentioned.

Silverlight & WPF Silverlight getting better and better Delta between WPF and Silverlight is getting smaller and smaller Jeff and Craig discuss the question of “will Silverlight kill WPF”? Jeff makes the case that Silverlight is one of the best things to every happen to WPF Silverlight is for browser applications (especially when client diversity exists) Printing Support Pages are rasterized before sent to the print queue Simple API used to detect multiple page Printed page does not have to be the XAML shown to the user Webcam & Microphone Support Uses OS hosted device support API makes listing devices easy Easy to take a snapshot, but processing video is more involved Jeff hopes to provide infrastructure code to help process raw media streams if the Silverlight team doesn’t add it formally to the framework File System Access Only available for out of browser applications running with elevated permissions Elevated Permissions Silverlight transparency model In Silverlight 4 has expanded file system access in contrast to what is available in Silverlight 3 COM Automation on Hosted Machine COM Automation makes integration with programs like Office a painless experience Only available for Windows machines Jeff has a sample to demonstrate COM automation by vocalizing exception messages HTML Hosting Elevated permissions are not required, but an out of browser application is needed Elevated permissions are needed to access cross domain downloads Silverlight’s HTML rendering control is it’s own browser and is not dependent on any other browser The Future?

This episode of Pixel8 Tim Heuer ( @timheuer ) and Jesse Liberty ( @jesseliberty ) join Craig Shoemaker ( @craigshoemaker ) to discuss the new features that excite them as well as projects that have recently caught their attention. Tim Heuer New Features If you aren’t familiar with what’s new, make sure to read Tim’s comprehensive post on new features in Silverlight 4 beta . A point that both Tim and Jesse make is that new features were largely a direct result of customer feedback . Is WPF Dead? The announcement of IO support, printing and other features often associated with desktop applications left some wondering the fate of WPF. If the chasm between WPF and Silverlight continues to shrink, how do you choose a platform? Tim’s advises, if you are targeting Windows, start with WPF. Silverlight is about cross-platform and reach. Both platforms are attempting to be feature compatible. If you must select a “winner” to the debate, perhaps it’s best to say that the winner is XAML. An investment in XAML will keep your options open on the desktop and the web. Advice on Real World Development Tim offers some quick tips for real life Silverlight development: Invest time in learning the view model pattern MVVM seems to be the winner in presentation patterns. Even if the approach is not for you be familiar with the concepts Understand a composite model and learn to partition your application Look at Prism and realize it’s value for building modular and composite applications beyond it’s MVVM support Consider your extensibility points Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) for could be used for extensibility or perhaps even building composition into your application Designer Developer Workflow Tim discusses his plea to my developer brethren about designer/designers Role of the Integrator (may not be a full time person, but perhaps a senior person on the team able to run interference between developers and designer) Jesse Liberty Jesse sees the line of business story a more natural fit in Silverlight 4. By leveraging some of the infrastructure of previous releases, new features offer a richer experience in for common scenarios. For instance: Leveraging of the Visual State Machine – where validation logic is server-bound, but the client reflects the outcome of this code Fluid UI – animations for different states of a list box Jesse is heading up the open source Silverlight HyperVideo Player project. The HVP adds in-context links to video content within a video. Jesse is spending time thinking about over all architecture and finer details like accessibility . A particularly impressive feature Jesse is looking to add to the HVP is a generic marking system that will allow markers to change and be added to a video over time. Look for some innovative work for coming from the Silverlight HyperVideo Player .Pixel8Silverlighthttps://www.infragistics.com/community/product_platforms/pixel8/m/pixel8-mediagallery/91949?CommentId=fa08044c-560a-4a2b-b94b-1811e5c293deSat, 05 Dec 2009 04:42:00 GMT7a8b7c76-b7ad-48e0-9694-5b04ca132ed0:fa08044c-560a-4a2b-b94b-1811e5c293deTodd MirandaActually, there are a few changes that should be made. You really don't want to create a new instance of the QuestionViewModel in your view. So the original code in the button click event works if you make a different change. You really want to set the DataContext differently. void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { QuestionViewModel qdata = new QuestionViewModel(); qdata.FetchQuestions(); QuestionDataView.DataContext = qdata; } Notice the change to set the DataContext to the actual View. Now change the View's XAML to set the ItemsSource property of the ListView. This way, you have bound the actual ViewModel to the DataContext of your View and you can access any of the properties of your ViewModel in the View. Hopefully that makes sense.https://www.infragistics.com/community/product_platforms/pixel8/m/pixel8-mediagallery/207428Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:14:00 GMT7a8b7c76-b7ad-48e0-9694-5b04ca132ed0:d8df1d81-b81c-4157-b420-ff817d5bbc66Craig ShoemakerOn this episode of Pixel8 Scott Hunter ( @coolsch ) joins us to discuss his team’s focus on simplicity and performance in ASP.NET. Scott was kind enough to surprise me with some talking points about what his team is thinking about for releases coming after ASP.NET 4! Please note, what’s discussed herein are un-implemented features of ASP.NET so your feedback is not only welcome, but encouraged! Velocity Provider for Caching: This will allow developers to plug in caching scenarios based on their needs. Automatic Generation of CSS Sprites : Adding images to the Content folder will trigger the ASP.NET framework to stitch together a single image which is later sliced up by inline styles. A helper method is responsible for generating markup of the appropriate CSS coordinates to wire-up the sprite. This feature will allow for groups so related images may be combined together. Complex Helpers: There are scores of common features and functionality that many developers want to include in their applications, but unfortunately right now these features require a lot of code to implement. In the future you may have helpers available that provide a simple API to do the following: Resize images Watermark images Flip images Send Email - helpers for single method calls to send and mail or verify an address [ex: Email.Send() or Email.VerifyAddress()] Schedule Tasks - submit tasks to a background worker process (wouldn’t take down app domain if exception occurred) Posting status updates to Facebook, Twitter, etc. Polls Ratings Comments OpenID integration * Many of these features will likely be released outside the formal ASP.NET framework Data Simplicity: Active record implementation that features a code-first approach. Consider a blank database with no tables. The active record pattern would allow you to instantiate the Foo class and then add values to Foo.Bar1 and Foo.Bar2 , then call Foo.Save() . If the Foo table does not exist in the database, then the table is created and the data is persisted. Also Foo.All() would return all the records of Foo , but the return type is an IQueryable so you could further filter on the server. The code-first won’t be the only direction the integration will work. Changes in the database can be reflected in the model by use of T4 templates. Note: I ask the requisite question about the virtues of the repository pattern as opposed to active record. Scott demonstrates how the implementation they are considering would not hinder you from exposing your own DTOs and wrapping a repository around the active record objects.
