Back in May, I created a quick demo that let me shoot my walls and furniture with holographic paintballs.
This past Friday, I released a master class over at LearnHoloLens.com, the premium HoloLens membership site I run, where I showed the members how to submit a HoloLens app to the Windows Store.
The app I used for that master class was this HoloPaintball app.
So I decided to release the source code for HoloPaintball…
Back in 2014, John Sonmez wrote the book, “Soft Skills: The software developer’s life manual”. It was a great book that I raved about in that post.
He’s back with another book that focuses solely on your career as a software developer. The title says it all … The Complete Software Developer’s Career Guide.
The book is launching today, and I’m grabbing it. But I wanted to get this post out here because the book is being launched at an unbeatable price of just 99 cents. That’s right, for less than a buck you can get the eBook for the next 48 hours.
If you’d prefer the paper back, it is currently $19, but I’m not sure how long it will remain at that price.
I’ll do a proper review once I read the book, but I have no problem recommending this book to you because of how good John’s first book was. I talk about it in the video this week.
You can grab the book here:

That is NOT an affiliate link. I’m not making money off this. I just know it is going to be good.
Oh, and if you are reading this post today – Wednesday, July 19th, 2017 – then you have the opportunity to jump into the Learn HoloLens membership!
If you are reading this at a later date, and the doors are closed make sure to jump on the notification list so you can join a fantastic community of HoloLens developers and become a HoloLens authority in less time.
Dream Build Play is back!
Back in 2007 Microsoft had the first Dream Build Play contest. Yes, 10 years ago. Then it went away for a while … like 7 years or so…
But it is back! And I’m excited about it.
You can check it out here, or get a little history lesson and learn about something new by watching the video below:
James Ashley, a fellow HoloLens consultant (and fellow MVP), runs challenges for HoloLens developers. I’ve participated in a few early on…
There is another one happening right now and goes until next Tuesday.
I worked on this live yesterday morning on the streaming service – Mixer. Feel free to follow me there if you are interested in seeing me doing live development (or gaming).
The demo I created utilized the spatial understanding code to place 5 Meme posters on the wall in the room.
You can check out the final result below
