Software Development in the Real World Last updated Friday, October 14th 2011 Software Development in the Real World Subscription Next XBOX 360 is Under Development Posted by miguelcarrasco in Wednesday, October 12th 2011 Topics: Microsoft, XBOX Tags: Microsoft, xbox Comments (1) When a new XBOX 360 arrives before Christmas 2012, it will usher in a new era of software development opportunities for many of you. The ability to write applications for XBOX 360 and place them in the Microsoft Marketplace is going to be an awesome opportunity. Game development studios are already underway in their development efforts to bring the next generation video games to your television sets near you. Rare, the famous video game studio that brought you games like Killer Instinct and Donkey Kong Country are already working on some new and exciting games. People within Microsoft have recently updated their LinkedIn status to reflect their new roles within Microsoft that clearly shows the next XBOX 360 is about a year away. Many questions should be answered at next years E3 event, but for now, it’s always fun to speculate what the future of video gaming may hold. To think that the current XBOX 360 is nearly 7 years old and still the number one selling video game console is absolutely remarkable. I’m not sure what the next XBOX is going to hold for us, but what I do know is the plans are to make it the centerpiece of our home’s entertainment system.

Windows 8 and Software Developers Posted by miguelcarrasco in Wednesday, September 21st 2011 Topics: Microsoft Expression, Videos, Windows Phone 7, WPF, XAML Comments (41) As a Software Developer, I was stunned at what I saw at Microsoft Build last week. And it was a stunned look of excitement. Last week Microsoft unveiled Windows 8, a revolutionary new touch centric operating system that will change the way you work forever. I was lucky enough to take part in Microsoft Build, and was able to record a full demo of Windows 8 Slate Device, be interviewed by Telerik TV on my thoughts of Microsoft Build and Windows 8 and what it means to software developers, and also record a podcast with Windows Observer! Here are the links to those videos and podcasts, because they are way more fun to watch and listen to! Listen to the Windows Observer PodCast Kinect Software Places People on Buildings Posted by miguelcarrasco in Tuesday, September 6th 2011 Topics: Microsoft Tags: kinect Comments (63) As a software developer I’m always looking for new and interesting technology that I can write software for. When I first saw the Kinect, my mind was blown. When I continue to see the new levels of innovation that other software developers are going to with the technology, I get even more excited. A few days ago I was lucky enough to get a demonstration of one of those cool technologies that just make you go “WOW”. It’s one of those things that you have to experience to understand, but PO-MO Inc. basically created software to take the information being gathered from the Kinect, translate the information into amazing graphics, and then throwing up the animated artwork onto a building. People walking by get to dance and see themselves on a building. It’s all very surreal and awesome at the same time. Check out a quick interview I did with PO-MO Inc. founder, Meghan Athavale.
