24. Do NOT do a Google Image search for “Binding”

25. Let’s do this…

26.  IT WORKS!

27.  Too many things on the UI Thread

28.  IT WORKS!  Too many things on the UI Thread  INotifyPropertyChanged must be called on UI

29. Let’s bend the rules a little Page Source: http://singleton-institute.com/2012/06/bending-or-breaking-the-rules-the-intrapreneurial-dilemma/ Image Source: http://singleton-institute.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/intrapreneurship_Bend_the_Rules-225x300.jpg

30.  Premise  Run everything you can in the background  When necessary, send small commands to UI

31. Because, who doesn’t love threads calling threads…? Page Source: http://xkcd.com/670/ Image Source: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/spinal_tap_amps.png

32.  Cleaned up UI Thread  Added a LOT of complexity  Locks  await / async calls

33. Who needs rules, anyway? Page Source: http://evansheline.com/2010/12/break-wall-to-escape-wait-what/ Image Source: http://evansheline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/break-wall.jpg

35.  NOTE: This code is still in “BETA”

36.  By that, I mean the code runs so fast, the game is slightly unplayable…

37. Factory Smoke NOT Included
