Design Templates for Windows 8 Apps

Movie1

Having recently collaborated with Microsoft in accelerating Windows 8 App development, I’ve came up with these design templates to serve as reference in designing Windows 8 Apps, providing more clarity in how to convert a conceptualised design from a Photoshop file into a full-fledged Windows 8 Apps with the use of Blend for Visual Studio.

Download link and more information on these design templates after the break.

Presentation: Real World Prototyping

TechInsights2011

Just gave this talk the other day on “Real World Prototyping” in Tech Insight 2011 (which was indeed a few months back), and being mean and all, I promised the attendees that I’ll be uploading the slides and sample applications soon.Guess “soon” took quite some time to materialise, stuff came up, RL and all.

Without further ado… below are my slides from the presentation.

TechInsights2011

Tech Insights 2011 is coming to town and happening this week!

I will be delivering a session titled “Real World Prototyping”, which will be at Wednesday (16/11/2011) at 10am, below is the blurb for my session:

If you are…

  • Failing your user acceptance tests?
  • Dealing with stakeholders that see to believe?
  • Finding a lot of development rework due to bad requirements?
  • Facing issues with consistency in software user experience?

Not to fear, here comes prototyping to the rescue. Come see how effective prototyping in real world software development can help resolve many of these issues, with a demo heavy session stepping through scenarios of how Expression Blend – Sketchflow is used to rapidly create prototypes to facilitates better communication, requirements, expectations, software and ultimately deliver a better and more engaging user experience.

This session will be targeted at a developer, business analyst and project management audience. I can assure you it will be packed with demos stepping you through how Expression Blend’s Sketchflow – a world class prototyping tool, can be used to enhance your whole software development lifecycle and deliver better ROI to you, your organization, and your clients.

I’ll be uploading my demos and slides up here after the event as well so stay tuned.

There goes my shameless promotion. Hope to see you there!
