….but it isn’t just InfoPath. It’s InfoPath + Silverlight + SharePoint 2010 + CRM. As Microsoft states, it’s a “bewildering array of Microsoft technologies”.

I was fortunate to design and develop the Silverlight user interface for this application - with help from Kris Nyreen on the styling, graphics, and colors. The app is very unique - using Silverlight as the front end search and visualization tool. It is an internal Inetium application used to help employees tie together relationships between projects, people, and skills.

See for yourself how it works:

I also have to mention that the soundtrack for the video was also done by yours truly!

She had fought the robots with ease since she was young, leading battles and turning the war’s tide. But she couldn’t defeat what she couldn’t fight: scheming humans who greedily lusted for control and power. With integrity and commitment to the fight she defeated both the robot and human foes.

My friend Jake sent this to me earlier today.

Introducing SilverSynth, a digital audio synthesis library for Silverlight. http://silversynth.codeplex.com Straight from the project description:

Quite simply, SilverSynth is a Silverlight library used to create awesome sounds in a web browser. It can be used as a core library for developing music-based applications or for just generating noise that annoys your co-workers. It supports synthesis of sine, saw, square and triangle wave forms, frequency modulation, amplitude modulation, panning, volume control, and dynamic envelopes.

Much of the core wave form generation code is based off of Charles Petzold’s work.

Silverlight developers can use the library to create a wide spectrum of custom sounds and attach a custom StereoPcmStreamSource to a MediaElement:

Perhaps the coolest feature of the library is the ability to create signal chains using a fluent API syntax:

The source code also includes a demo app so you can see how the library is used.

Happy noise-making! Well - before I conclude I should say that aside from noise that annoys your co-workers, you can create some cool musical applications with this stuff too.
