I’ve made some further changes to the layout, adding the short status information below the tube line name, and switched to only one traffic light for each line.

I used Expression Blend, which looks like quite a good tool. I’m not sure how far I’ll be able to take this, as the design side isn’t really one of my strengths. My  impressions of XAML and WPF, are that it’s big, complicated, and very powerful.

I think it will enable teams to develop very good looking applications, if they can add a designer into the programming team.

I’ve put in a little more work on my WPF app, mostly learning a bit more about XAML. The layout has changed from this:

There are still a few things I want to add, a status bar, an control to show more details.

I’ve started working on my first WPF application. Just a simple application to display the current status of the London Underground. It’s very basic and ugly at the moment, but I’ll be working on it.

This excellent video from Pattie Maes at MIT shows where technology is heading. At the moment I’m loving having a internet connected mobile phone, but soon it’s going to do so much more.

This one is from Hamid Shoejaee @ Axosoft.com. An introduction to Scrum in under 10 minutes.

I found this on the DevShop.Com website. I feel the pain.

I've just upgraded to Spb Mobile Shell, from Spb Software House, on the TyTN II.

Wow the interface rocks.

There are loads of improvements from the previous version. The four icons along the bottom provide quicker access to different parts of the system. Easier navigation using the large arrows and smart gestures. Lots of sweet animation changing between pages. Improved contacts. Very nice and highly recommended. Get it here.
