It’s not commonly known that WinJS was born out of the browser, and then went to Windows 8. Since then WinJS has been released for Windows 8.1, Xbox One and Windows Phone 8.1. Earlier this year WinJS has been open sourced with the mission of running on any browser of your choice. In this talk, we’ll go over how WinJS provides developers with a distinctive set of high performance, polished UI controls and the cohesive set of components and infrastructure it provides for your HTML5 web apps. 5:00 PM Saturday Room: 1501
In this session you will start with a pile of hardware and build a working, cloud-enabled device from the ground up.
Essential skills will be presented:
(1)Building the device from raw hardware
(2)Writing software for the Raspberry PI and the Cloud
(3)Mono and C# on the device
(4)Node.js in the cloud
We will also present “SmartDoor,” where we really roll up our sleeves, both from a hardware and software point of view and learn what it takes to truly embrace this new computing paradigm. To start, we will purchase and put together the raw hardware. But software rules the world, and that’s where a bulk of the presentation will focus. The code will need to be able to take a picture and upload it to the cloud. From there, a push notification will need to be sent to the appropriate mobile device(s), indicating that someone has pressed the doorbell, and that the photo is available.
