Project Thor Part 4: Demo!!
November 9th, 2009
In the first three parts of this series I laid out the problem statement, assumptions, business requirements, and technical requirements. In this post I want to demo the functionality we’re trying to achieve. Check out the screencast below (brought to you by Silverlight and the Simple Silverlight Media Player.)
A few notes about the demo:
- The website shown in the demo is not currently hosted in Azure. The current prototype is, um, somewhat, how would you say, INSECURE. Thus, there is no way I would release it to a production environment. However, the code is running on my local Azure development fabric and was created the Azure tools for Visual Studio 2008 SP1.
- Thor is supposed to show schedules for conference rooms. In the demo I show my calendar from RBA. I didn’t want to expose unnecessary data regarding RBA’s Exchange setup.
- Part of the demo includes using a jailbroken iPhone. The jailbreak was done to allow VNC connections for the purpose of the screencast. Keep in mind the end product of Thor will not not require a jailbroken iPhone. Thor will work on an iPhone, an Android phone, an oh, yeah, a Windows Mobile Device :).
Here’s the screenast:

(P.S. - Sorry about the audio quality, still working on getting that better mic).
