3. Session Objectives And Agenda

Session Objectives And Agenda
Data Visualization & Touch: WPF & XAML…and Silverlight…and Surface…and Windows 7 WPF Touch
Session Objective: To get you excited by showing you “what you can do” so that you start doing it.
Why you need Rich Client and RIA Applications
So here’s what we are going to talk about today…..
This session is all about visualizing data.
There are a lot of moving parts in this session…. And a lot of people put a lot of work in getting this session together.
Let me set expectations up front. This session is unique because there is a ton of demo…
But, there’s not a ton of code. You’ll see why in a bit, but the simple fact is that 20,000 lines of calculus in c# is not easily consumed on the big screen. So, this session perfect for the end of the day.
And I most certainly am not going to build anything on stage in front of you. That is my session tomorrow. But, I can give you the source code to a lot of what I am going to show you today.
There is a lot of real software in this session; not just demos. And there’s a prototype that I call “the greatest developer demo of all time” and it’s only great because developers are the only people who “get it”. Marketing people do not understand why it’s cool. I like that.

5. 2001
The concept of an interactive table is born
History of Surface
2003
The first prototype is presented to Bill Gates
2004
A dedicated group is formed,
and more than 85
prototypes are developed
2005
The look and feel of Surface is finalized
2007
Microsoft Surface is unveiled to the world 
This is a msft confidential slide – do not provide to customers
2001: MS Research works on multi-touch systems, and in 2003 a prototype is created by the New Consumer Products group and presented to Bill Gates. He likes the idea immediately, and encourages the group to keep working on this product.
2004: Playtable! Under the code name of Dekko (forever remembered as the name of the bug database), work commences on a consumer product that will allow people to play games, view photos, and play music through a multi-touch surface.
2005: Table! Under the code name of Mojito (forever remembered on the black windbreakers), the multi-touch surface project “grows up” to be less of a game machine, and more of a broad platform for computing.
2006: Ideation… In February 2006, software development halts so that the product team can do market research and find out how our multi-touch surface can work for innovators. In June, after several months of intense research, the team comes up with dozens of potential scenarios around the commercial market.
2007: Surface! Under the code name of Milan and the brand name of Surface, Microsoft publicly announces Surface to the world on May 30, 2007.

7. What the heck is XAML? Separates the front-end from the back-end
Simple declarative programming language suitable for constructing and initializing .NET Objects
Usually the most concise way to represent user interfaces (or other hierarchies of objects)
Doesn’t need a compile to render
The language that almost all WPF related tools emit

Sample XAML
Runs in a WPF Application:
Runs in the Browser:
1.      In WPF, a XAML file starts with a <Window /> element as root.  This element will be the most common root element for your XAML files.
The root element of an XAML document can contain only certain elements and these elements are another Window, a Canvas, or panels.
2.     The Default namespace for XAML file is " and it has another "x" namespace which is set to " this is the glue to the .net framework.
Layout elements consume the rest of the xaml like “Title” and “Grid” and “TextBlock”

10. WPF and Declarative Programming
MGB 2003
WPF and Declarative Programming
XAML replaces code
Attributes control Layout and Style
Event handlers wired-up in XAML
Declarative Data Binding
Gone are the days of fiddling through the “don’t touch this code” sections in the code behind in Windows Forms 2.0.
XAML is now the UI representation of your applications, clearly showing layout, containment, and styles making it easy to see just what is going on.
Ultimately all that XAML is, is a way to describe .net objects. That is the most important thing for you to remember about xaml.
It’s a syntactically funky, tag based language similar to xml.
XAML is also tool friendly, making it easy to work with products like Microsoft Expression Blend to layout a page.
The end goal of using XAML is to allow tools to easily create and modify the UI portion of the application reducing the need to write code for everyday UI tasks.

Silverlight
Eclipsys Corporation Silverlight 3 - Enterprise Visibility Real-time Hospital Operations
customer
I’ve did the obligatory internal check within Eclipsys and we’re good and happy to have you demo the work within your presentation.   Not sure if you were aware or not but we were acquired by Eclipsys at the beginning of the year, a positive thing of course, and this should provide you with some additional credibility around the group behind the solution as well.
I’m not going to be able to make the conference but Dan Mouhot the VP within Eclipsys that manages our MS relationship will be.  I’ll make sure that he connects with you while you are there.
Here are some quick responses to your questions but I’ll give you more when we connect on the phone.
Is there any software functionality you want me to focus on?
Is there anything you want me to stay clear of?
You can present any/all of the demo we’ll arm  you with.  This is a demo we provided at HIMSS of this year … and actually showed it at a break out session at the MS-HUG conference during HIMMS.  
The focus you’ll want to put around it is the ability to provide enterprise visibility around real-time hospital operations as has never been available before.    The solution is very focused on finding operational bottle necks through the user of geo-spatial navigation and heat mapping in order to highlight  and resolve inefficiencies that would be difficult and inherently historical through the use of reports.  The use model for the app works best and most impressively in a touchscreen environment … so if you have access to one it would be even more impressive.
Do you have an elevator pitch for Premise.  I’d like to memorize that instead of spinning my own version of your company
I’ll try to get you the standard Eclipsys pitch … but it will also be for you to highlight the acquisition of Premise by Eclipsys.  The premise pitch is that were a highly innovative software company focused on providing Patient Flow solutions to many of the top hospitals in the united states and internationally.   Patient Flow allows hospitals to optimize hospital occupancy, reduce wait-times for beds and manage bed inventory to increase patient outcomes and maximize revenue opportunities within hospital environments.
Optional questions I’d love to get insight on:
Why did you choose Silverlight over WPF?  (I assume you needed broad reach)
You are correct … the use of Silverlight provides us with an ability to deploy the solution to a wider user base within our client implementations.    Given the level of support and development focus we are seeing from Microsoft in Silverlight and version 3.0 with it’s greater capabilities and support of multi-touch environments we believe that there are opportunities to provide a much more compelling user experience than has ever been available previously in a browser based distribution model
Were there any deployment issues?
We deployed subsets of the technology you will be demoing at Singapore General … we’re actually giving you the ability to demo some of what is in the R&D pipeline.  I just want to be careful about representing that we deployed the complete solution in a live environment.   But it included some of the fantastic work your team has worked on for us … specifically this was the floorplan views.  We did not provide the complete geo-spatial navigation model (enterprise view vs. unit view) that you’ll see in the demo.
How successful has this been at Singapore hospital and where is it going next?
It’s been hugely successful at Singapore General.   This is one of the largest hospitals in the world and we did some really interesting things there with RFID and patient location tracking that is integrated into those floorplan views also  … cool stuff to mention.

17. WPF – how does it work? Built on Top of Direct 3D
Converted to 3D triangles, textures and other Direct3D objects & then rendered by hardware
Benefits of hardware acceleration & performance due to work being off-loaded to GPUs (unlike GDI based systems)
Ensures the maximum benefit of new hardware and drivers
Software rendering pipeline as fallback

MenuM8™
MenuM8 is an innovative application that allows restaurants to quickly define and update product attributes, position, promotion and presentation in the interactive menu displayed at the self-service kiosk. Using MenuM8 they can manage multiple versions of their menu, located in any number of restaurant locations, all with one tool.
A wizard-based drag-and-drop ap­plication, it allows the marketing staff to easily configure and manage menu and product data, text, images and other media used in product presentation and local­ized marketing programs at the kiosk.
Imagine being able to quickly add a new product, position it appropriately relative to other similar products, add available options, link it to offers and suggested up-sells, attach an engaging image and description, and then review it all as it will appear when activated. That’s impressive!

20. Why WPF?
The GDI & USER subsystems were introduced in Windows 1.0 in 1985
OpenGL – Early 90s
DirectX – 1995
Goal: Overcome the limits of GDI+ & USER with the productivity of .NET

21. WPF Audience Participation Time
Does WPF enable me to do something I couldn’t have done before?
No. Unless you factor in time & money…
And would like to do more with less…
Is DirectX dead?
No. It is more applicable to advanced 3D developers writing hard-core “twitch” games.
Are Winforms dead?
No. …but it will not be advanced; the last version was 2.0 in .NET 2005.
WPF / Winforms Integration is simple
Windows 98 Supports WinForms
Does WPF run better on Vista & Win 7 than on XP?
Yes.
3D objects only get anti-aliasing on Windows Vista or Later
Non-rectangular windows only get hardware acceleration on Vista.
Vista has a driver model that helps with resource contention
Does Silverlight trump all this other WPF Stuff?
One would think so with all the marketing dollars that are being thrown at it….
But, in Reality the answer is “No” and it makes solution architecture more difficult than ever.
