“Today is is like a six for one deal day where we highlight a series of articles from Soul Solutions about our favorite hardware device (and how you can start building with it faster)Kinect For Windows Interactions Gallery

As the Kinect For Windows SDK has started to evolve, the team has been adding some nice little controls which are quite useful and also controls everyone was writing in one way or another to solve the same issues. I think it’s a really good step so we’re not all spending a bunch of time writing similar controls plus it means there should be some consistency going forward if people use the supplied controls. This will help users with the learning curve with many of the applications.

When you first look through the interactions gallery it’s a bit overwhelming as there’s a bunch of controls and the interaction stream to deal with all at once. For this reason I wanted to do a set of posts so we can concentrate on them one at a time.KinectSensorUI KinectRegion KinectUserViewer KinectTileButton KinectCirceButton KinectScrollViewer InteractionStream

http://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/blog/Windows-8-Windows-Phone-8-some-PCL-and-your-social-world–Social-Media-Dashboard-Sample

"Speaking of building Windows 8 app’s, here’s the template of the week. Imagine youSocial Media Dashboard Sample

The Social Media Dashboard sample (for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8) consumes various social feeds and displays them in your app. It is driven from a JSON configuration file so it is very easy to adapt this sample to your needs and have this as a starting point for your application. This sample also illustrates a number of key concepts such as Search, Share, dynamic UI, animations, sharing code between Windows 8 and Windows Phone.Building the Sample

Make sure you have the basics installed. That includes:Windows 8. Visual Studio 2012. Windows Phone SDK.

Download the sample and double-click on the solution. The solution consists of three projects:SocialMediaDashboard.PCL, which is the Portable Class Library that contains code that is used in both the Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 projects. To learn more about Portable Class Libraries, click here. SocialMediaDashboard.W8, which contains the code for the Windows 8 version of the app. SocialMediaDashboard.WP, which contains the code for the Windows Phone 8 version of the app.

There are dependencies on a number of external libraries, these are:Microsoft.Bcl.Async, which gives you access to async and await keywords in a Portable Class Library. NuGet: Install-Package Microsoft.Bcl.Async –Pre NewtonSoft.JSON, which is the standard library for parsing JSON objects. NuGet: Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json HtmlAgilityPack, for parsing and changing HTML documents. NuGet: Install-Package HtmlAgilityPack Microsoft Player Framework, which is a framework for displaying video. No NuGet package exists, the code can be found here. A .VSIX file as included in the Project as well, for convenience.

Now, set your startup project to either Windows 8 or Windows Phone and press F5 to run the app. The sample app gives you information about Windows Phone development. I’m guessing you might be interested in something else, in that case you can look up The Config.json in the Assets folder. This is the definition of the content for this app. Play around with it. A later post will detail the format of this configuration file.

Description

This application demonstrates how to build a complete, configuration-driven application both for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. It illustrates many key concepts as Share, Search, Live Tiles, extended splash screen, showing video in a MediaElement and so forth.

When you get the source, make sure you read Dependences section above (as being, me I didn’t and fixed up the references manually… sigh, must remember to RTFP, Read The Fine Post…

Anyway, here’s some snaps of it running on my system;

Here’s a snap of the Solution. As you can see the common work is handled by the PCL (Portable Class Library) and the platform specific work done in the platform projects.

What’s nice is that you can take this sample and easily configure it for your social world. Just edit the config.json files in the platform projects and go…

So how easy is this to tweak to make it yours?

Hacking the config.json file for about 3 minutes, I created a simple Coding4Fun app…

How cool is that!"

ones a Shape created, it can be used in the Shape Container. The Shape Container will provide design time support for your shape to rotate, shear, move, warp, shade, fill with a color or using a brush etc.
