Even though it seems only a few weeks ago that we released Metro Studio 1—our vector image library of more than 600 customizable Metro-style icons—Syncfusion Metro Studio 2 is now available! You can upgrade your copy of Metro Studio 1 for free. Or if you didn’t get the first edition, you can still download Metro Studio 2 for free and not miss out on anything.
New features include:
- Icons as CSS sprites: Ideal for efficient webpage design.
- Eyedropper: If you're artistically challenged, this tool makes picking colors easier by enabling you to choose one from anywhere on your screen.
- Clipboard support: Quickly create an icon, copy it to the Clipboard, and paste it into whatever you're working on, whether it's Word, PowerPoint, or Paint.
Visual Studio LightSwitch may be one of the most under-utilized development tools available to professional and amateur developers alike. Designed specifically for creating data-centric business applications, LightSwitch alleviates some of the tedium involved in the development cycle by making the creation of screens, data entities, data relationships, queries, and more simpler and easier. Our newest e-book, LightSwitch Succinctly by Jan Van der Haegen, provides a quick tour of the different parts of the LightSwitch development environment.
In this one-hour webinar, Jeffrey Richter of Wintellect will walk you through the thread synchronization mind-set and when it is required, and then talk about the volatile and interlocked APIs for doing lock-free thread synchronization. With these APIs, an application can improve its performance, lower its resource consumption, and avoid deadlock scenarios.
Join him on Wednesday, August 15th from 1 p.m.–2:30 p.m. EDT to learn all about lock-free thread synchronization.
