I’ve been itching to share what I’ve been up to lately work-wise.  Since last December, I’ve been working on a proof of concept application on the new Microsoft Surface computer.  It was a very fun and cool project to work on for obvious reasons, but just getting back to coding UI’s and spending time away coding lower level stuff was an appreciated change.  It was also cool because there was a press release for the app so our app was heavily photographed and filmed.  The devs even got a chance to take part in on the photo shoots! 

On the technology side, the Surface computer has a pretty unique offering.  It’s definitely a new computing platform and moving towards the next evolution of user interfaces.  It’s ability to handle multiple inputs at once and interact with objects is what makes this very a very compelling platform.  Most devs who sees and interact with the Surface for the very first time will realize there is lots of potential for this platform.  Hopefully everyone will get a chance to play with the surface in person, because the interaction in person really beats any online picture or video.  If you live near the recently announced 5 AT&T stores with the surface machines, I’d highly recommend checking them out!
