Thanks to everyone who attended the RSK talks. I literally left the conference and went on holiday. Will be back tomorrow so will upload the demos to the website on Tuesday 3rd<br />

If you want a refresher on the asynchronous talk we have screencasts on the site that cover some of the aspects<br />

smarter with Design Patterns<p>Just finished updating the Code Smarter with Design Patterns for <a href="http://www.develop.com">Developmentor</a>.  </p> <p>The course traditionally has focused on GoF

how the basic GoF patterns are often compounded to produce elegant solutions.</p> <p>Other enhancements include addition of Prototype and Builder patterns, and a general upgrade to the latest features

cuddly colouring in guy Dave Wheeler will be doing a huge number of sessions on Windows 8 Metro including the Keynote to get you all fired up, but don’t think they will be all soft, one session includes a COM primer for all those youngsters who didn’t take their COM apprentiship.</p> <p>Rich will be covering topics from Whats New in WCF 4.5, and the ever cool Reactive Framework, and a deep dive into the GC, something all developers should have intimate knowledge of.</p> <p>Andy will be covering the new async functionality of C#5, highlighting how you now write both ui and server side code to consume and enable the use of these new wonderful keywords, and doing a whole day of threading as a pre con on Monday</p> <p>Kevin will be presenting a day of building MVC applications, along with a session on unit testing.  </p> <p>During the breaks Dr Rock Man will also be there to try and solve your specific technical problems or just happy to hear you rant about the code base you have just inherited. </p> <p>In total we will be presenting a total 19 sessions, plus pre and post conference sessions.  Hopefully see you <a href="http://www.devweek.com/">there</a> with what should be a

Access Terminal (CAT)<p>Yesterday was a big day for Rich and myself we successfully deployed our CAT software to our first customer in conjunction with our video conferencing partner First Connections.  The software allows members of the public to interact with their local council almost as if they are with them in person.  Allowing members of the public to access services from rural locations.</p> <p>The kiosk utilises two screens, one being a touch screen.  The touch screen is used to visit specific council web sites, or to start a video call with a member from one of the council help desk team.  Once in a video call the council representative can help complete specific council forms including taking passport style photos with the built in HD camera and customers signatures using a high resolution LCD signature pad.</p> <p>All built using .NET 4 and Windows Embedded.</p> <p><a

Challenge,an alternative to regular class room training<h3> </h3> <p>What do most engineers want to do, “Build Things”. Regular training classes are good at introducing new technology, but what if you want to take it further; to stretch and motivate your senior developers. This was the requirement that our major investment bank client presented to Rock Solid Knowledge the co-developed solution was to produce a Coding Challenge…</p> <h4>The Training Day One</h4> <p>The first day was spent with a deep dive into Silverlight; all teams had prior knowledge of WPF. The focus of the day was to effectively demonstrate the differences and similarities of the two technologies, giving the teams the ability to deliver a high quality Silverlight solution to match the code challenge requirements document.</p> <h4>The Challenge Day Two</h4> <p>The three person teams, of senior developers, spent the next 24 hours straight building a working product to the supplied specification. Not only did this test their ability to apply the new technology but demonstrated who ships and who doesn’t. Failing to organise is clearly highlighted when you only have a short period of time to deliver.</p> <h4>The Assessment Day Three</h4> <p>After working nearly flat out for 24 hours the teams submitted their solutions to be assessed by Rock Solid Knowledge.
