tutorialr.com Tutorial Tuesday - Windows App SDK - Set Ten

tutorialr.com

It is another Tutorial Tuesday and tutorialr.com has been updated with four new Tutorials for Windows App SDK that you can follow and build some fun games!

Games include Fruit Game which is a slot-machine type game where you need to match three symbols to win the spin, Touch Game which is a colour-pattern game similar to Simon where need to keep the sequence going. There's also Light Game where the aim is to toggle all the pieces but those around also get toggled and then there is Tiles Game where you need to select the Black tiles but don't select the wrong one or a White one as if you do, you lose the game!

RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #3

RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #3

This week saw addition of four brand new Tutorials for Windows App SDK on tutorialr.com available in PDF and HTML. It has been a lot easier writing the new ones in both formats from now on and been fun to add even more games which included Lucky Bunny, Lucky Racer, Chessboard and Tetrominos.

This week published an Article from a talk by Sam Hogarth at NEBytes about Smart Notes for Developers which was a really interesting talk about developers writing more effective notes. I write a lot of notes myself and this article was published within minutes of the talk ending so everyone who was there could go over them and use those notes to learn more about making notes!

There's something brand new that will be launching next week on the RoguePlanetoid website so will be something to look out for! This year I aim to do more than just presentations, workshops and tutorials so will be good to do something different, so check out the website then to see what it is!

RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #2

RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #2

This week saw the update of all existing Tutorials for Windows App SDK on tutorialr.com to be available in PDF and HTML and have started writing the rest in both formats together which is a lot easier, over halfway through the games it has been fun to put those together and either port the ones from Universal Windows Platform or write all new ones.

I've been planning what Presentations I'm going to be doing this year with some developer focused ones but also really want to do one about Zune so will be interesting if I can identify an event where I could do that one, I'm open to any suggestions via Twitter but will aim to do even more talks than I did in 2022 and I did the most ever then so am looking forward to speaking at an event in the near future!

I'm also planning on writing more Articles here about topics I'm interested in with an aim to do a few a month, not only that I'll be adding my articles from LinkedIn here too. I've got a lot of things planned this year including things I've been wanting to do for a while so will post updates on anything I do right here!

Updated Windows App SDK Tutorials now on tutorialr.com

Updated Windows App SDK Tutorials now on tutorialr.com

Every single existing thirty-two Tutorials for Windows App SDK have now been updated to be available not only in PDF format on tutorialr.com but in HTML which was a great suggestion by Nick Randolph! I've also made some minor corrections as well as adding the name of the tutorial on the title page which looks a lot better!

Every week on tutorialr.com will be Tutorial Tuesday where I will add four new ones, with Lucky Bunny, Lucky Racer, Chessboard and Tetrominos coming next week and a set of four coming each week after that until I reach one-hundred Tutorials for Windows App SDK so keep checking back for more!

RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #1

RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #1

Something new for this week is a new Weekly Update post where I'll cover what's going on in the world of software development and tech along with what I'm working on myself. So far, my focus this year has been to update the Tutorials for Windows App SDK on tutorialr.com to be available in PDF and HTML and have completed this ahead of schedule this week, so rather than release them on 31st January as planned they'll be released on the 17th of January and will add four new ones in both PDF and HTML format each week from the 24th of January until I reach the full one-hundred tutorials!

It has been interesting to see ChatGPT at chat.openai.com has become well known, in more demand, and being used for more things. It was rumoured this week that Microsoft will integrate this functionality into Bing, and they will be investing billions of dollars into OpenAI and even take a 49% stake in the company, will be interesting to see what comes of this collaboration with Microsoft in the future!

This week I'll also be planning on what I'm going to be doing in the first half of 2023, with the completion of the Tutorials for Windows App SDK along with bringing some of my presentations I've done that were recorded to tutorialr.com and will also feature my WPF and Modern .NET talk there. I'm also planning on writing some new talks for 2023 which I'll hopefully be doing at events this year along with more posts and articles here!

Upcoming to tutorialr.com

Upcoming to tutorialr.com

First week of 2023 has been working on some upcoming updates to tutorialr.com for Tutorials for Windows App SDK to create HTML versions of them which will be published on 31st January kicking off regular Tutorial Tuesday updates there throughout the year, with four Tutorials being published each week for the next few weeks with more games, then apps and more coming this year!

Was great to relaunch tutorialr.com last year and this year will have even more content being added throughout the year! It has been great to hear feedback on the work there, the HTML versions of Tutorials being one of the ideas suggested! Sharing knowledge is the key focus and will be sharing even more this year.
