Rob's Last Stand: XNA, Microsoft Robotics Studio, 360s, Wiis, and Dancing Robots

  • Artykuł

Irish Microsoft Technologies ConferenceTalk Abstract: 

By day, he's helped mild-mannered developers build n-tiered architectures using .NET technologies.

But by night, the real Rob comes out.  The one that works endlessly - nay, furiously - with XNA and the Microsoft Robotics Studio.  And now, with backpack and camera over shoulders, he's going freelance, making the IMTC, in fact, Rob's Last Stand* .  Witness applications written in C# that run on Windows and the Xbox 360!  Gasp as the Nintendo Wii controller gets integrated into .NET to control a wee flock of boids!  Learn how to do all this stuff yourself!  And if none of that batters yer sausage (in the words of the esteemed Podge O’Leprosy), then come for the dancing robots.

Rob's going to give the talk he's been dying to give for 3 years, give away the Lego Mindstorms kit, and then boldly make like a moose, and vamoose.

 

Ah goodness, now you just have to be there.

Where: Cineworld, Dublin 
Level: All

    Hey Brian, we're trying to arrange for all the sessions to be recorded - but this one will have to be... we'll need something to play back if we start missing Rob too much! :)
