Vista for the tablet PC

This weekend I finally installed the final Vista on my tiny tablet. Which is an old notebook with (these days) unimpressive specs but just refuses to retire. Easy to carry, runs XP and VS 2005 quite well and so far behaved well under the Vista beta's . Beside Vista I installed the " Vista experience...

Tidbits (Javascript and OOP ?)

For the past few weeks I've been working fulltime on a big Javascript application. At first this did not look like any source for blog fodder at all. Having learned lots of new things I have changed my mind and am working on a big post on Object Oriented Programming in JavaScript. What is possible...

Working with .NET 3.0

Over the last days I've been working with the .NET 3.0 framework (or whatever you want to call it ). Starting from the perspective of a real world application, not a bunch of cool solutions looking for a problem. The idea was to create a WPF tablet PC inking app which stores and retrieves images through...

Installing Vista build 5270 on a (tiny) Tablet PC

Vista is coming. To us developers Vista is about new API's, to users Vista is about a new UI. As a developer you have to take a good look at that as well; that's how people will (want to) work with the software you make. The feel of Vista is different; I could try to list all the small and bigger differences...

Charles Petzold, WPF and the Tablet PC

Charles Petzold's book Programming Windows is a classical masterpiece. Through his work a whole generation learned how to write programs for that new strange graphical operating system called Windows. As that grew in size over the years the new editions of the book got thicker. A copy of the fifth edition...

Installing Vista build 5219 (on a tablet PC)

Recently I installed Vista beta 1 on my tablet. Not in Virtual PC but as dual boot. You need a dedicated partition for that, but it is the only way Vista can reach your machine's hardware functionality like DX or the digitizer tablet. The first install was nice but not really a tablet, after adding the...

A touching gesture

I missed my chance to come to the PDC and hear this first hand, but blogs can fill the gap. Microsoft has announced it will license the current Tablet OS, Windows XP 2005 Tablet PC edition , to touch screen PC makers. Fujitsu already announced one for next month. A touch-screen is by long not as sophisticated...

Beta of the TIP for Vista Tablet PC

Recently I installed the Vista Beta on my Tablet PC . It works, given the occasional blue screen, quite well; but didn't feel like a real tablet PC yet. The pen worked but the Tablet Input Panel (TIP) and the handwriting recognizers were still missing. There is good news: a beta of the TIP is now available...

Vista is a big push for the Tablet PC. But it's not a full tablet yet...

My first install of Vista was on a Virtual PC. Nice but my main problem was that it's sluggish and unresponsive. Even if it has a 2.Ghz Hyperthreaded CPU and a full gigabyte of RAM at its disposal. The cause of that, as discussed here on Joel on Software is Virtual PC's graphics driver. Vista relies...

Past, present and future (my favorite PDC sessions)

Last PDC, the 2003 edition, was one big flood of new things. It was the first time Longhorn (now named Vista) and Whidbey (now named Visual Studio 2005) were presented to the developer community. The coming, 2005 edition, will be on the same, by now almost today's, tools. There is a searchable list of...

The fix for the Tablet PC's memory leak is (finally) there

Microsoft has finally released the fix for the memory leak in the tablet PC. It's diguished as Windowx XP hotfix KB895953 . Took a while. At the time (5 months ago !) I wandered how serious the bug really was for real life day to day tablet use, but the update shows it was quite fundamental. While updating...

Any Tablet PC sessions at the PDC ?

The PDC 2005 frenzy is heating up, on Codebetter you'll find poetic as well as total geeky starters. The content of the PDC is also starting to materialize. I skimmed all session and tracks for "Tablet PC" but did not find a thing. So what's next ? Convert my Tablet to a beer coaster and stuff myself...

Tablet PC input: recognizing gestures and creating strokes from code

In my previous post on Tablet PC pen input I explored handwriting recognition. I explored how the language specific recognizers of the tablet API translated your scribbling into text, listed the possible alternatives and the confidence it had in the results. The Tablet API has another recognizer built...

Recognizing handwriting on a Tablet PC: beyond Strokes.ToString()

Having spent 3 solid days on doing a crash-course VS 2005 training it's time for a little diversion. Finally I made the time for another post on programming the Tablet PC. The tablet PC is very good in recognizing handwriting, it will even make sense out of the worst scribblings you can imagine, for...

So what about that Tablet PC ?

I’m a big fan of the tablet PC and have a category tablet PC on my blog. But havn’t blogged that much on the Tablet recently. I’ve been writing a lot of ASP.NET production code and didn’t have the time to care of my pet. Time for a little catchup. On the hardware front things are moving in a steady pace...
