Windows 10 and Xbox become one



Microsoft's Xbox lead Phil Spencer took the stage during Microsoft's big January 21 event, detailing the Xbox app on Windows 10. The app collects all games played on any Xbox or Windows 10 device, a universal friends list and an activity feed. Every Windows 10 device will have the Xbox app pre-loaded.

Users will be able to record game sessions through the Game DVR tool and share them across the Xbox network. Essentially, Windows 10 will bring the automated recording featured in Xbox One to games played on Windows 10 – even those launched through other apps, like Steam.

Spencer also briefly showed off Microsoft's next collection of graphics and gaming APIs, DirectX 12. Namely, support for the platform expanded to the Unity game engine, and DX12 enables low-power graphics processing for Windows 10 mobile devices.

Plus, Spencer and a Lionhead Studios representative demoed what it's like to play the same game through a Windows 10 PC and an Xbox One with friends at the same time. Basically, cross-platform multiplayer gaming is coming to Xbox One and Windows 10.

Finally, Spencer demoed the ability to stream any Xbox One game to any Windows 10 device from within the home over Wi-Fi. The Xbox lead also teased that several Windows 10 features will find their way onto Xbox One, but was mum on the details.

HOW TO INSTALL BLOGENGINE.NET WITH VISUAL STUDIO.

Yes there are lots of article on the internet that already describes how to do this, but that wont stop me from sharing my own idea on how I got mine rocking with visual studio 2012. Now here is the story, I woke up one morning and discovered I was departing from being a beginner programmer to a programmer who is at least worthy to be called a programmer. So I felt I needed to share my programming experience and the only known way I could do that, was to start blogging, hmmm... Just like you, I didn't like blogger, I needed  to be my own boss. So, I started my own blog project, but wait....  Why was I doing that when there are open source blog projects being developed and maintained by developers who are more "programmatically" experienced than I?. BlogEngine was the one I chose and the installation was a breeze. All I did was go to the site, downloaded the first zip file which is tagged "web", extracted it to my visual studio project directory, opened vi...

LOAN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (My Project Idea)

There are many companies that specializes on giving loan to people; they make their profits by collecting interest on any money they lend out, and before a loan can be given to any customer, the customer must provide a collateral and some details such as:  contact details and a reference/guarantor. When the loan is finally given to the customer, they charge interest based on the the amount given to the customer for a given period of time which could be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  For example, a company could be collecting interest based on a particular amount for a given period of time like: $200,000 loan would have an interest tag of $2,000  per month until the money is returned, and $100,000 would have an interest of $1,000 per month until the money is returned.  In  addition, the customers need to know when the time for them to pay their interest comes e.g.  at the end of the month or the timing model with which the calculation is being made.
