Conferences this Fall
I have like ten topics ready for my blog, but I don’t have time to write. That’s too bad, but I’ve been busy and this blog post will reveal one of the reasons. Conferences. At the beginning of the September I was part of the KulenDayz, not only as a speaker (I’ve talked about Contracts […]
Dva prigovora VIPnetu
English summary: a bit of rant on local GSM operator Koristim VIP-ove usluge otkad su došli na tržište, bio sam čak i član Kluba prvih korisnika (postoji li još to, btw?) i generalno sam zadovoljan, nije mi još palo na pamet otići i mijenjati operatera, čak i kad je bilo problema, riješili smo to na […]
WinDays12 conference: the award, sessions, workshop…
Let’s cut right to the point – yesterday I’ve received the ISV award for community contribution, a yearly award presented by Microsoft Croatia. I would like to thank all the user group leads and MVPs here in Croatia who have voted for me (and almost all of them did :-)). If you’re in Croatia, join […]
WinDays aplikacija za Windows Phone
English summary: Official WinDays conference Windows Phone app has been published, by yours truly. Kod izrade mobilnih aplikacija je totalno zabavno što je trenutak puštanja aplikacije u javnost vrlo konkretan. Kod weba je to često nekakvo stanje koje se još danima polira, čak ne zato što nije dobro testirano ili što ima bugova, već zato […]
Conferences in April
Just a short entry – I’ll be speaking at the two conferences this month. Tomorrow I’ll find my way to Mostar (Bosnia & Herzegovina) to be a part of MS NetWork conference. I’ll talk about Windows Phone Tango (aka 7.5 Refresh) on Thursday at 14:40. A few weeks later, I’ll be in Rovinj (Croatia) on […]
Windows Phone Marketplace došao u Hrvatsku + upozorenje
English summary: Windows Phone Marketplace is available in Croatia. Kao što možete čitati ovdje, Hrvatska je napokon među zemljama iz kojih se može pristupati Windows Phone Marketplaceu. I do sada smo to mogli – uz trik da kod otvaranja LiveID korisničkog računa odaberemo neku drugu zemlju – sada to možemo napraviti i odabravši Hrvatsku, te […]
Proud to be a part of echoecho
The last few days echoecho app for Windows Phone is featured in Windows Phone Marketplace (that means a lot of downloads). This is a great opportunity to write a bit about that – something I was planning to do for a while, but never found the time. (What else is new?) echoecho is an start-up […]
How to link to the Windows Phone Marketplace?
This may sound trivial, but it is not. If you want to link to your (or someone else’s) application on Windows Phone Marketplace, the worst thing you can do is to copy/paste the link from your web-browser. Like this: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/d854573a-8873-4400-a519-762c36b7a6f1 (don’t use this, it’s wrong!) This will bring the user to your app, but only […]
Vibrating a Windows Phone, fun version
It’s really easy to vibrate a phone from your code. You can do it whenever you like, just don’t overdo it. VibrateController vibrate = VibrateController.Default; vibrate.Start(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1000)); That’s all you have to do if you want to vibrate the phone for a second. But, what if you want do vibrate several times, with pauses? For example, […]
