Microsoft & Global Game Jam
Microsoft is partnering with Global Game Jam to encourage students to create Windows Phone games. As part of this, any team that creates a Windows Phone game at a Global Game Jam site this weekend will receive a free Windows Phone. Microsoft is also promoting its Imagine Cup game design competition, where students can create a game to address one of the UN's Millennium Development Goals. Students are encouraged to enter their Global Game Jam game into both Imagine Cup and another competition called "You've Got Game". Microsoft is providing many free resources for students to create games, including the DreamSpark program, Visual Studio, and Windows Phones.
Cool Stuff Your App Can Do
This document summarizes cool features that an app can utilize on Windows Phone, including:
- Storage and tombstoning to preserve app state when switching between apps or restarting the phone.
- Alarms and reminders to schedule notifications for time-based events.
- Live tiles to provide dynamic content and notifications on the Start screen.
- Other features like contests and resources that make app development easier.
Windows 8 Contracts
Contracts are agreements between Windows and your app that allow you to integrate Windows 8 features into your app. For example, Windows 8 lets users share content from one application to another by using the Share contract. In this session, you'll learn how contracts work and how to implement the built-in contracts such as Search, Share, Settings, and Play To.
Windows 8 Platform & Store
Windows 8 is Windows re-imagined. Join this session to learn about the new platform for building applications. Get an understanding of the platform design tenets, the programming language choices, and the integration points with the operating system and across Windows 8 apps.
Malvern WOWZAPP Info
The schedule for the day includes lunch at 11:30, snacks at 1:30, a global speaker on game development options at 2:00, a global speaker on HTML5 game development at 3:00, an MTC tour at 4:00, and dinner at 5:00. There will also be a global speaker on data binding with XAML at 5:00 and an app show off at 6:30. The document also includes various URLs and information about developing a Windows 8 app in 30 days with assistance from Microsoft.
Game Development: A Crash Course
This document provides an overview of game development using XNA and discusses resources for students. It introduces XNA as a framework for creating games for Xbox, Windows and Windows Phone. The core aspects of game development with XNA are explained as the game loop of initialize, load, update and draw. Resources mentioned include DreamSpark for free developer software, ScriptTD as an example game engine, and details on a program to provide a free Windows Phone to students who publish 3 apps.
Windows 8 Tiles and Notifications
Tiles draw users back into your app by awakening your tile on the Start screen. Notifications delivered through the Windows Push Notification Service draw your users back into your app even when it's not running. In this session you will learn how to implement Tiles and Notifications and how to create tiles that let users personalize their Start screen by creating deep links to specific places within your app.
Kodu Game Lab
Kodu Game Lab is a visual programming language for creating games. It uses an icon-based interface where programming is expressed through physical concepts like seeing and hearing. The tool is designed to be intuitive for developing games and teaches problem-solving, collaboration, and positive attitudes towards computer programming. Resources for Kodu include tutorials, classroom kits, and an online community for sharing games.

Unity in the Classroom for Creating VR Sims and Edugames
The session will cover how Unity and C# can be used in the classroom to teach coding and digital design via the creation of games (including edugames) and Virtual Reality simulations. The presenter will share how he has used it in the past 2 years in the classroom and give examples of student work. He will also go over the hardware and software requirements, including how he has used the cheaper Mixed Reality headsets, from Microsoft partners such as HP and Lenovo, to develop for SteamVR, meaning the VR simulations will also run on HTC Vive. He will also have at least one Mixed Reality headset with him so that attendees can try out some of the student developed VR simulations at the end.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
