History of Surface
2003The first prototype is presented to Bill Gates
2004A dedicated group is formed,
and more than 85 prototypes are developed
2007Microsoft Surface is unveiled to the world
2001The concept of an interactive table is born
2005The look and feel of Surface is finalized

What the heck is XAML?• Separates the front-end from the back-end• Simple declarative programming language
suitable for constructing and initializing .NET Objects
• Usually the most concise way to represent user interfaces (or other hierarchies of objects)
• Doesn’t need a compile to render• The language that almost all WPF related tools
emit

WPF and Declarative Programming• XAML replaces code• Attributes control Layout and Style• Event handlers wired-up in XAML• Declarative Data Binding

Silverlight… “WPF Light”
• Interactive experiences for devices, PC, & Mac platforms (and others…)
• Strict subset of Windows Presentation Foundation• Lightweight download (4.2mbs)• Programming model uses XAML + Jscript + WPF• Access to WPF tooling
Lightweight WPF runtime

WPF – how does it work?• Built on Top of Direct 3D
● Converted to 3D triangles, textures and other Direct3D objects & then rendered by hardware
● Benefits of hardware acceleration & performance due to work being off-loaded to GPUs (unlike GDI based systems)
● Ensures the maximum benefit of new hardware and drivers
● Software rendering pipeline as fallback

from our Marketing VP Madeline Pantalone: “It's okay for you to use application for demonstration as long as you are sure to preface it with the phrase: "This is test data only. Products you see may have been created for testing purposes only."

Why WPF?
• The GDI & USER subsystems were introduced in Windows 1.0 in 1985
• OpenGL – Early 90s• DirectX – 1995
• Goal: Overcome the limits of GDI+ & USER with the productivity of .NET

WPF Audience Participation Time1. Does WPF enable me to do something I couldn’t
have done before?● No. Unless you factor in time & money…● And would like to do more with less…
2. Is DirectX dead?● No. It is more applicable to advanced 3D developers writing hard-core “twitch” games.
3. Are Winforms dead?● No. …but it will not be advanced; the last version was 2.0 in .NET 2005.● WPF / Winforms Integration is simple● Windows 98 Supports WinForms
4. Does WPF run better on Vista & Win 7 than on XP?● Yes.● 3D objects only get anti-aliasing on Windows Vista or Later● Non-rectangular windows only get hardware acceleration on Vista. ● Vista has a driver model that helps with resource contention
5. Does Silverlight trump all this other WPF Stuff?● One would think so with all the marketing dollars that are being thrown at it….● But, in Reality the answer is “No” and it makes solution architecture more difficult than ever.

Summary• We are at the Cusp of the NUI revolution• Using Natural User Interface (NUI) Technologies Improve The
User Experience• Multi-Touch enabled applications can be used to improve the
communication, education and experience overall across the application platform continuum.
• The Tools, Plumbing and platforms for Rich Client, touch based computing are powerful and available
• Within a short time frame computers with touch capability will be the norm.
• The .NET stack for Rich Client & Touch Based Software (Surface, WPF & Silverlight 3.0) is elegant and powerful
• The Concepts of NUI change the way we design and build software
