NEW!
Essential Microsoft Surface Programming Training
(FW954)
2 Day Course
Microsoft Surface provides a radical new way to manipulate and visualize information - using multitouch gestures to provide a natural interface to the user. Creating applications for Surface is more than just understanding the WPF or XNA APIs, it involves understanding this new mindset for presenting information. You have to deal with multiple users, visual orientation and multiple, simultaneous touches and that means thinking about your UI differently than you would for a traditional desktop application. Essential Microsoft Surface Programming is designed to teach you both how to program the table and design UI effectively for the overall experience.
- Gain practical experience on how to design applications for multi-touch usability.
- Learn how to integrate physical object interaction into your application.
- Diagnose, performance tune and test your Surface applications effectively.

Essential Microsoft Surface Programming Training is also available as an onsite course.
If you have a group of people to train, an on-site course, delivered at your facility may be the most cost-effective solution for you. Our staff will work with your team to plan and produce the best possible result based on your team's size, experience levels, project needs and longer-term goals. We can structure a training course, or broader program, tailored to meet the specific needs of your organization. We'll make sure that any lab exercises run on the platform you use and we can tailor the lab exercises to be appropriate to your business. If you prefer to focus on just the pure technological principles, we can also deliver courses at your facility following the same format as our public curriculum.
