RIAlity TV
I am creating a video blog designed as a reality TV show called RIAlity TV. (Actually I'm designing it to be a Channel of RIAlity shows). The first show called "The Project Room:Catching the Wave" will document creating a software product from start to finish using the .NET 4 stack top to bottom.
Silverlight 4
MEF
WCF RIA Services
Entity Framework v2
Windows Azure
SQL Azure
The project will be a Point of Sale system (AzurePOS) designed based on the first example from Peter Coad's Object Modeling book. The goal is to have a V1 project ready to launch at Mix10. I've submitted a session to the open call for proposals. I'll recap the season and launch AzurePOS on stage. I’m looking for people interested in joining the fun. Right now I can use the help from people who can fill the following roles:
- UI Designer: Take a concept and make it reality. Experience with Blend and Sketchflow is a plus. Integrator skills are a huge plus! We're going to put the Developer-Designer workflow through its paces. HTML/CSS/Javascript experience is good as well.
- UI Developer/Integrator: Work with the designer to bring their vision into the application. Experience with Blend or a crazy XAML skills are a MUST. In addition experience with HTML/CSS/AJAX is helpful. The person in this role should be comfortable with the View Model pattern.
- Backend Developer: A heads down C# coder who understands good Object Oriented Design. Knowledge of Entity Framework a plus. Experience with RIA Services a HUGE plus.
- Web Developer: In addition to the main project, there will be some development needed for the RIAlity TV website. ASP.NET MVC 2 is the weapon of choice.
- Web Content Manager: There’s a lot of content that needs to be edited for the site, experience with video editing is a plus.
If this sounds interesting to you, send me an email (mike.brown at azurecoding dot net) with a subject line “RIAlity TV”. There's a lot of information that I don't want to share publicly but at the very least this will be an opportunity to demonstrate your skills before an audience. I want to have the first episode in the can in time for voting (January 5-15). I’ll explain all privately.
Update:
The sessions are up on the mix site for voting, if you want to see it, add my session to your ballot.
