Topic: Going beyond the Soft in Software: Programming with Kinect and .NET Gadgeteer
Abstract:
Join Microsoft Developer Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie (aka Devhammer) for a tour of some of the fun new ways you can leverage your .NET coding skills to drive hardware. We’ll look at the Kinect SDK for Windows, as well as the .NET Micro Framework, and the brand-new .NET Gadgeteer open hardware specification, and how its modular architecture opens up the world of embedded device development and rapid prototyping to even those who’ve never held a soldering iron.
Learn about both fun and practical things you can do by adding a little spice of hardware to your software recipes in this demo-driven talk!

Topic: Image Manipulation with HTML5: improving the speed of clinical decision making and kicking butt
Abstract: Learn how we leveraged Javascript and HTML5 technologies to build an extremely responsive medical image (DICOM) viewer and reduced the complexity (and load) of our server code by an order of magnitude. Our application is written in C# MVC3. To build the viewer we leveraged razor templates, backbone.js, and jquery templates. On the HTML5 side, we used canvas, webworkers and filestreams. This is not a hypothetical talk. We’ll show you how we used these technologies to make a real application that is used by physicians to save lives today.
