My ASP.NET MVC Architecture (Main Features) - 3
Salient Features of ASP.NET MVC Architecture
1. follows Layered Architecture
2. follows multi-tiered Architecture.
3. follows Plug-in Architecture with the help of DI/IOC Container (Using StructureMap)
4. using ORM(Entity Framework) in Data Access Layer.
5. ORM is lightly coupled to Architecture with the help of DI/IOC Container(StructureMap) and AutoMapper Framework(Converts EntityFramework Classes to Domain Classes)
6. Encourages Domain Driven Design, Object-Oriented Programming and Design, Design Patterns.
7. Follows Service-Oriented Design (Ready to be deployed across multiple Nodes)
8. Geared towards TDD and BDD

Time Management Techniques
Pomodoro Technique (http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/)
- Plan your tasks for day.
- Set the Timer to 25 minutes
- Take a 5 minutes break
- After 4 Pomodoro's take 30 minutes Break
80/20 Principle:
Use the principle to prioritize the work
GTD (Getting Things Done)
Use these techniques to handle interruptions
First things first
User these principle to prioritize the work .

What is new in Visual Studio 2012 Unit Tests.
What is new in Visual Studio 2012 Unit Tests
1. Can search a unit test from IDE
2. The new Fake environment let you test anything in
isolation, even when it has external dependencies.
Stubs:- Concrete Implementations of interfaces or abstract
classes that you can pass in to your system-under-test to isolate it from real
implementations
Shims:- generated classes that enable you to intercept and
replace calls to existing classes, even those from the .NET BCL.
They are evil.
Use them and then refactor your code to remove them.
Better code coverage analysis

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists,designers,hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors and other actuators.
The micro controller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment(based on Processing).
Designed to make the process of electronics in multidisciplinary projects more accessible.
Audrino micro controller is pre-programmed with boot loader that simplifies uploading of programs to the on-chip flash memory compared with other devices that typically need an external programmer.
Making Thing See
3D Vision with Kinect, Processing , Arduino and MakerBot
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920020684.do
provides the technical and conceptual information you need to build cool application with Microsoft's Kinect, the amazing motion-sensing device that enables computers to see.
How to create gestural interfaces for software , use motion capture for easy 3D character animation, 3D scanning for custom fabrication and many other applications.
1. Create Kinect applications on Mac OS X,Windows or Linux
2. Track people with pose detection and skeletonization and use blob tracking to detect objects
3. Analyze and manipulate point clouds
4. Make models for design and fabrication, using 3D scanning technology
5. Make MakeBot, RepRap , or Shapeways to print 3D objects
6.Delve into motion tracking for animation and games
7. Build a simple robot arm that can imitate your arm movements.
8. Discover how skilled artists have used Kinect to build fascinating projects
Programming Interactivity, 2nd Edition
A Designer's Guide to processing , Arduino and openFrameworks.
You will explore several themes in interactive art and design - including 3D graphics , sound, physical interaction, computer vision and geolocation - and learn the basic programming and electronics concepts that you need to implement them.
1.Learn interaction design from leading artists and designers.
2. Let users provide input throgh buttons,dials and other physical controls.
3. Produce graphics and animation, including 3D images with OpenGL
4. Use sounds to interact with users by providing feedback , input or an element they can control.

Useful Tips from the book:
1. Start small
2. Search Youtube with keywords like audrino, home and automation
3. Ask an engineer. Adafruit,Sparkfun and Element14 have experienced engineers ready to help in forums.
4. Be safe. While most home automation projects don't call upon radical amounts of electrical current to operate ,electricity can be very dangerous if not handled with respect and understanding the risks. When in doubt call upon the expertise of an experienced electrician before manipulating anything having to do with home electric wiring.
5. Have fun
