  • Software Entrepreneurship Faculty Workshop

    Hi All,

    In June, Bournemouth University played host to Lars Lindstedt who delivered a two day Software Entrepreneurship Faculty Workshop.

    Do please take a look, and if you have any questions or want further information, come back to me and I’ll be happy to help.

  • New Silverlight Videos

    Hi,

    For those of you with an interest in Silverlight I thought you might like to take a look at a series of 'how to' videos available from the Silverlight team. You'll find everything from the basics through to best practices and even a series of tips and techniques.

    For example, Todd Miranda shows how to dynamically add markers to a video at runtime and Peter Bahaa shows how to handle the back and forward buttons, all in Silverlight 1.0.

    To browse the library of videos click here.

    All the best,

  • Inspiration Tour Update

     

    image

    With 17 dates behind them and another 37 yet to come, Ed and Ben are having a great impact on the students that they present to as part of the Inspiration Tour. We love to get feedback, both good and bad but our favourite so far is:

    The talk you gave today was absolutely awesome, as were the demos. Loved every minute of it from the front row. You even had me crying when you were talking about the opportunities - everything I dreamed about. Thanks to both of you.

    All dates are now booked but if your university has missed out then please get in touch and we will see if we can fit you into an additional slot.
