Session Recap: User Interface 2.0

[AristosQueue (NI)]

By mixing energetic presentation of neat user interface tricks with occasional rants about the injustice of iPad distribution in the world,  Jonathan Cohn kept an audience attention past the end of the session time, a neat trick for the last session of the day.  Jonathan works for Bloomy Controls. He showed how to create "dark modals" -- when a modal dialog comes up, darkening the main window. He walked through the basics of creating plug-in property pages. And he showed a robust system for disabling or enabling different parts of a user interface based on the privilege level of the user currently logged in.

This is a presentation that Jonathan has done the past two years, and it continues to be more impressive. If you missed it this year, he's sure to be invited back next year. Although, as Jonathan himself admitted, he does need to come up with some new jokes. 🙂
