Our custom 55” Surface Table!!

AdminNews — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 07:25:41 +0400

This week during the DevTeach tradeshow in Montreal we unveiled our custom made 55” Surface table”!!

The table is our first prototype, it runs Windows 7 and offers 6 touch points. We used it during the show to showcase our Windows Phones 7 apps+ a few Silverlight and WPF apps.

But the table itself has another purpose which will be unveiled later… we are working on a very specific software, which requires quite some space, the fact is Microsoft Surface 2 was not big enough for our needs (40 inch), so we built everything from scratch, and we are proud of the result!

Little close-up, showing Windows 8 start screen (just for fun):

MVP @ RunAtServer

AdminNews — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 04:55:55 +0400

Dominic and Laurent have been re-awarded MVP (Most Valuable Professionals) by Microsoft for 2011.

Dominic Sévigny: Microsoft MVP ASP.NET (4th year)
Laurent Duveau: Microsoft MVP Silverlight (5th year)

MVPs make exceptional contributions to technical communities, sharing their passion, knowledge, and know-how. Meanwhile, because MVPs hear the opinions and needs of many others in the technical community, they are well-placed to share highly focused feedback with Microsoft.

MVPs are independent experts who are offered a close connection with people at Microsoft. To acknowledge MVPs’ leadership and provide a platform to help support their efforts, Microsoft often gives MVPs early access to Microsoft products, as well as the opportunity to pass on their highly targeted feedback and recommendations about product design, development, and support.

This is a reward for all our efforts to share with the .NET community in Montreal through the user group, Microsoft events and conferences (DevTeach, TechDays, MSDN Tour, ...) as well as technical trainings (ASP.NET, Silverlight ...) dispensed throughout Canada and Europe.

The RunAtServer team has 4 MVP.
