Uncategorized – Jonathan ANTOINE's thoughts http://www.jonathanantoine.com Yet another blog about... Sat, 03 Mar 2012 17:28:19 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.5.3 Windows 8, Larousse and “proud to be a developer” ! http://www.jonathanantoine.com/2012/02/29/windows-8-larousse-and-proud-to-be-a-developer/ http://www.jonathanantoine.com/2012/02/29/windows-8-larousse-and-proud-to-be-a-developer/#comments Wed, 29 Feb 2012 17:50:25 +0000 http://www.jonathanantoine.com/?p=1032 The Windows 8 consumer preview is out !

You can find a lot of information and download links on this page : http://preview.windows.com.

I am not used to speak about the apps I work on but this time I have too!

It’s several weeks now that I work on the ‘Larousse illustré’ version for Windows 8. You can now find it on the windows store (french version only).

It was a really nice experience with great people involved and I am lucky that my company (Infinite Square) let me be a part of such a great project !

The app is build with HTML 5 and Javascript. These are new technologies for me too…(even the spellchecker highlight the word !) I can just tell one thing about it : it rocks !

Now, let’s speak about the app !

Our goal was to create the best user experience when using the dictionary and to provide the users a way to quickly find a word from anywhere.

The home screen let the user choice between several universe : dictionary, atlas, thesaurus, media, biographies, etc. Also, a random word is displayed and let you discover new words easily 🙂 !

The dictionary display the words in a really nice way : in a “no-limit flow”. Each word is displayed with a little summary including images and you can tap on a word to display its full definition.

You can feel lost in all these words so we implemented a semantic zoom which let the user jump to a “range of words”.

The full definition of a word is displayed in an horizontal panning view. No need to wait for the data to load, no need to choose between sections : all is here, ready to be consumed by the user ! There is a lot of content available : definition, conjugaison, homonymes, synonymes, expressions, media, etc.

If you tap a word on the definition, you are headed to its definition.

The app is, of course, fully integrated with the system and you can search from the charm. The app suggest you words and you are redirected directly to the chosen one !

Finally, as this is a windows 8 application, we have to support the “snap” mode and we did it! The user experience is as great and all the content available.

I am really enthusiast to be able to share what I consider as a really great app with you all. These screen-shots are just a teaser and I really incite you to download windows 8 and then to try the app !

If you enjoy it, don’t hesitate to share it around to your friends !

Finally, I would like to thanks everyone with which I work(ed) on this project (David, Philippe, Vincent, Vivien, Florent, Patrice, Thomas, Simon, Noëmie, Daphné, etc.) 🙂

]]> 3D and Azure : yes we can ! (Help me win a Nokia Lumia !) http://www.jonathanantoine.com/2011/12/23/3d-and-azure-yes-we-can-help-me-win-a-nokia-lumia/ http://www.jonathanantoine.com/2011/12/23/3d-and-azure-yes-we-can-help-me-win-a-nokia-lumia/#comments Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:16:24 +0000 http://www.jonathanantoine.com/?p=892 Pink is beautiful !In the past, I played a lot with 3D inside WPF.

A few days ago, I discovered something awesome : using the power of the Cloud to create beautiful 3D scene.

(This is also a part of a contest and you can help me win by liking this two pictures : one and two.

Everything started from a post of David Catuhe (@DeltaKosh).This post explained how to create your own ray tracer and pushing it into azure.

This is in fact really easy and well explained in the post.

It turned out that David is also a really cool guy and that he had Xbox and Nokia Lumia to offer. So he created a contest to find the most beautiful 3D scene created with his tool. The idea is simple: push your own raytracer into the cloud, create a 3D scene and display it on the contest page. Then the one with the more Facebook’s like will win.

I personnaly played and if you want to vote for me, just use this link : http://raytracercontest.cloudapp.net/?p=227.

You can also vote for this beautiful logo (which is in fact the one of my company): http://raytracercontest.cloudapp.net/?p=278.

Thank you by advance for your votes !

There is already some good books in english which can help the developers to discover and understand it but there were none in French.

This is no more the case because my friend Thomas Lebrun (blog, twitter) and I wrote one entitled “MVVM De la découverte à la maîtrise”.

You can buy it at different places:

  1. A numeric version can be found on our editor page
  2. It is available on Amazon too
  3. The french store, “FNAC” is selling it too !
  4. A printed version can be ordered on lulu

Here is the different things we have covered in it:

  • Présentation du pattern MVVM
  • Les différents éléments et leurs rôles
  • Les différentes philosophies (view-first, model-first, view-model first)
  • Construire la partie modèle
  • Construire un ViewModel
  • Construire les vues
  • Edition de contrôles personnalisés
  • MVVM et Testabilité
  • Glossaire

Feel free to share this post 🙂

An updated, working, version of the source code is available at this adress : http://db.tt/XQfstVbB

Two fingers are too much for me !

Then he gave me a very useful tip to gain in productivity: instead of pressing Win+F, just press the Win key and start typing the name of the app you seek. The search screen will then appear by magic displaying the found results 🙂

The search screen in Windows 8 !
The search screen in Windows 8 !

This is in fact the behavior of Windows 7 start menu but I forgot it :-s ! Maybe because of all this flashy metro tiles !
