Course Description:
Learn all about the new app model (Metro style apps) that allows
you to create powerful new apps. All while retaining the ability to use
your existing apps. Web-connected and web-powered apps built using C#
and XAML have access to the power of the PC.
This course walks you through creating a complete Metro style app
using C# with XAML. Metro style apps are focused, fluid, and elegant.
From the new Start screen to new UI layout and controls, the
presentation of your app is about showing off what it's great at.
Metro Style Apps Development
Metro style apps are full screen apps tailored to your users' needs, tailored to the device they run on, tailored for touch interaction, and tailored to the Windows user interface. Windows helps you interact with your users, and your users interact with your app.

- I/O changes
- Storage changes
- Threading changes
- Reflection changes
- Changes in general .NET Framework types
What’s New in .NET 4.5
The next major release of the .NET Framework, .NET 4.5, allows you to easily use Windows 8 technologies, like Windows Runtime, directly from .NET 4.5. Accessing your data is easier than ever with support for the newest features in SQL Server and support for WebSockets. Programs are more responsive, with the AWAIT keyword, faster ASP.NET startup and an improved server Garbage Collector. .NET 4.5 incorporates key customer feedback, with the newest MEF features, support for long running workflows with State Machines, and improved HTML 5 support in ASP.NET. In this overview talk, you’ll learn about all of these technologies, and get pointers to deeper dives where you can learn more.

Binary Options
Recently I just started working on a new project at Win Gaming Media Inc.
The company is leading provider of online trading of binary options and the owner of EZTrader.com and GlobalOption.com, two of the major players in online trading of binary options.
Binary options are an investment tool where investors can receive a high return (binary options have much greater return than in most types of investment).
Trading options is very simple, traders only have to predict the direction of the change in the price of the underlying asset, unlike other forms of financial investment, in trading binary options it doesn't matter if the market goes up or goes down, traders will still earn the same fixed profit.
With binary options, traders can predict the direction of a variety of assets (currencies, stocks, indices, commodities, future indices) which are set to expire in an hour, at the end of the trading day, or at the end of the trading week.
The project I'm working on is targeted to integrate between the binary options trading websites and the website Facebook pages. At the end of the process, new users will be able to register and log-in to their accounts on GlobalOption.com and EZtrader.com just by using their Facebook log in information, and more than that, it will enable more futures as: making a deposits and sharing information on their successful investments with their Facebook friends.
We are really hoping to help WGM.Inc to reach more users by creating a simple registration form and by improving the user experience.

Create document report from TFS data
After a while of working with TFS work item, a lot of
data is been assembled inside the TFS. This data can be access by the TFS quire
and even can be exported into Excel sheet, but what about exporting the data
into Word document?
There are a few tools in the market that you can use to
export the data to Word document but none of this tools will export the data
and will generate the report with the correct hierarchy format that will
represent the hierarchy of the data and will also will create the report using
a few general roles on the data.
With the great help of Lior Amsalem we created a project
which purpose is to auto generate documents that are related to any type of
data stored on the TFS. The documents can be tailored documents according to
TFS specific data, or standard reports that are required by regularity needs (
FDA, ISO or…), or internal company's development documents (STD, STR, Project
Plan…).
The project is based on a few layers
- DAL - The system is using a layer
that connects to TFS on top of the TFS APIs and handles all communication
and data retrieval from the TFS.
- BL - There is a reporting data
layer, that is responsible to build custom data structures according to
the reports we need.
- UI – The actual reports generation
is using OPEN XML SDKs in order to generate Any type of office documents
(Word, Excel…).
For example in one of the company that I advise for, they
MUST produce a document that describe the requirement from the product (for FDA
needs). They have dozens of work items that describe the product requirement,
in the past they have produce the document by hand (copy and paste of work item
data into word document) and it took them between 2-3 days with the hope that
no mistake was done in manual process.
For the purpose of automatic documentation generation we
have developed an infrastructure that can read a TFS quire “Report Product
Requirement”
and generate a word document with full hierarchy format
of the work items
The product requirement document was the simplest
document that was “Automatic generated”, we have also created a SRS(software
requirements specifications) and STM(software traceability matrix) which
involve also the Test runs results and test cases.

ASP.NET MVC 3 Course
Course Description:
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is an architectural design
principle that separates the components of a Web application. This
separation gives you more control over the individual parts of the
application, which lets you more easily develop, modify, and test them.

Module 1: ASP.NET MVC Overview
ASP.NET MVC is part of the ASP.NET
framework. Developing an ASP.NET MVC application is an alternative to
developing ASP.NET Web Forms pages; it does not replace the Web Forms
model.

Module 2: Controllers & Action Methods
The ASP.NET MVC framework maps URLs to
classes that are referred to as controllers. Controllers process
incoming requests, handle user input and interactions, and execute
appropriate application logic. A controller class typically calls a
separate view component to generate the HTML markup for the request.

Module 4: Models
In the ASP.NET MVC framework, the model is
the part of the application that is responsible for the core
application or business logic. Model objects typically access data from a
persistent store, such as SQL Server, and perform the business logic on
that data. Models are application specific, and therefore the ASP.NET
MVC framework puts no restrictions on the kinds of model objects you can
build.
- Defining the Model
- Integrating the Model and Controller
- Model Binders
