MIX08: Ten Code Snippets to Empower Your Inner Artist

1
APR 7 08

This is the talk that I gave at MIX 08 The official description was: Learn how to increase what a designer can do with WPF and Silverlight using our designer’s code “toolbox.” Here are 10 simple concepts that will give you an edge when making your best ideas a reality. We share the code, teach you how to use it and introduce the concepts behind it. We shared more code than usual in this talk, including:

Image Sequencer

ImageSequencer is a WPF control that allows you to playback a sequence of images like a flipbook. This implementation is really resource efficient, so it’s fast! Only catch is that right now the images can’t be loaded directly from the assembly. That’s probably an easy fix so if someone makes it, let me know and I’ll post the update.

The “Nerd+Art” Code Snippets

This is a set of snippets for WPF and Silverlight that are intended to jumpstart common developer activities. They original intention was for these to be simple enough that even a designer could use them. This is the set of snippets that we explained in our MIX08 session, but with a handful of updates. Watch the talk and see what you think.

UPDATE: I’ve created a new set of snippets for Silverlight. Read about them here or download them below. The original nerdplusart snippets are still available but some of them may not work with the current version of Silverlight.
