Audio Resources Choose one of them or any other of your choice to record your voice with a short discussion of these ideas and how you might use SOUND in your Integrated Thematic Unit and how your ITU is progressing. Conclude by stating which application you are using to record, and save as a sound file to the Discussion Board. Sound Sound Technologies are available for classroom and training use via Windows, Apple, Microsoft Office, software, the WWW, Internet applications, APPs, etc. and can be created in many ways. This important multimedia component often brings new life and excitement into learning and is often neglected. Remember that research shows that the more senses stimulated, the greater the retention. Special Needs students benefit in many ways, as well. FILE FORMATS WAV or waveform .wav A file extension developed by IBM and Microsoft for a standard Microsoft audio file. It is supported by all computers running Windows and by all the most popular web browsers. The WAVE format is one of the most popular sound formats on the Internet for music or speech. Audio Interchange File Format .aif or .aiff A file most commonly used in Macintosh Operating System Musical Instrument Digital Interface .midi A digitally synthesized sound file format for sending music between electronic music devices like synthesizers and PC sound cards. This interface was created in 1982 by the music industry; it is very flexible, ranging from very simple to real professional music making. MIDI files are supported by all the most popular Internet browsers, software systems, and platforms. The downside of MIDI is that it cannot record sounds (only notes), or to put it another way, it cannot store songs, only tunes. MIDI files do not contain sampled sound but a set of digital musical instructions (musical notes) that can be interpreted by your PC's sound card. The upside of the MIDI format is that since it contains only instructions (notes), MIDI files can be extremely small. Via Wikipedia Real Audio Media .rm or .ram These are two file extensions used for Real Audio players. The RealAudio format was developed for the Internet by Real Media. The format also supports video. MP3 .mp3 MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a digital audio encoding format using a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio storage, for the transfer and playback of music on digital audio players. MP3 is an audio-specific format that was designed by the Moving Picture Experts Group. Applications (ideas for both PC and MAC) Text to Speech Make a choice under Voice selection. Preview Voice.

The document provides tips on how to create podcasts, including using free or low-cost audio and video recording and editing software on computers, planning content that is 10-20 minutes long, and considering audio quality and background noise when recording.

Porting a command line tool to Android involves cross-compiling the code using the Android NDK toolchain, which may require patching the code to address issues like different file paths, endianness, and library dependencies. While compiling and running static binaries is straightforward, dynamic binaries require position-independent executable (PIE) support added in Android 5. Calling native executables from Android code requires using Runtime.exec() or ProcessBuilder and parsing output streams. Special care needs to be taken to avoid security issues like command injection when passing untrusted inputs to native programs run as root on Android.

The C# nullability features help you minimize the likelihood of encountering that dreaded System.NullReferenceException. Nullability syntax and annotations give hints as to whether a type can be nullable or not, and better static analysis is available to catch unhandled nulls while developing your code. What's not to like? Introducing explicit nullability into an existing code bases is a Herculean effort. There's much more to it than just sprinkling some `?` and `!` throughout your code. It's not a silver bullet either: you'll still need to check non-nullable variables for null. In this talk, we'll see some techniques and approaches that worked for me, and explore how you can migrate an existing code base to use the full potential of C# nullability.

Space is a team tool that integrates chats, meetings, git hosting, automation, and more. It has an HTTP API to integrate third party apps and workflows, but it's massive! And slightly opinionated. In this session, we will see how we built the .NET SDK for Space, and how we make that massive API more digestible. We will see how we used code generation, and incrementally made the API feel more like a real .NET SDK.

Ever wondered how IDE’s are built? In this talk, we’ll skip the marketing bit and dive into the architecture and implementation of JetBrains Rider. We’ll look at how and why we have built (and open sourced) a reactive protocol, and how the IDE uses a “microservices” architecture to communicate with the debugger, Roslyn, a WPF renderer and even other tools like Unity3D. We’ll explore how things are wired together, both in-process and across those microservices.

Which NuGet package was that type in again? In this session, let's build a "reverse package search" that helps finding the correct NuGet package based on a public type. Together, we will create a highly-scalable serverless search engine using Azure Functions and Azure Search that performs 3 tasks: listening for new packages on NuGet.org (using a custom binding), indexing packages in a distributed way, and exposing an API that accepts queries and gives our clients the best result.

This document discusses .NET memory management and the garbage collector. It explains that the CLR manages memory in a heap and the garbage collector reclaims unused memory. It describes how objects are allocated in generations and discusses how to help the garbage collector perform better by reducing allocations, using value types when possible, and properly disposing of objects. The document also provides examples of hidden allocations and demonstrates tools for analyzing memory usage like ClrMD and dotMemory Unit.

Speaking from experience building a SaaS: users are insane. If you are lucky, they use your service, but in reality, they probably abuse. Crazy usage patterns resulting in more requests than expected, request bursts when users come back to the office after the weekend, and more! These all pose a potential threat to the health of our web application and may impact other users or the service as a whole. Ideally, we can apply some filtering at the front door: limit the number of requests over a given timespan, limiting bandwidth, ... In this talk, we’ll explore the simple yet complex realm of rate limiting. We’ll go over how to decide on which resources to limit, what the limits should be and where to enforce these limits – in our app, on the server, using a reverse proxy like Nginx or even an external service like CloudFlare or Azure API management. The takeaway? Know when and where to enforce rate limits so you can have both a happy application as well as happy customers.

This document discusses indexing NuGet packages using Azure Functions and Azure Search to power search capabilities in ReSharper and Rider. It proposes using Functions triggered by changes to the NuGet.org catalog to download packages, index them using reflection metadata, and upload the results to an Azure Search index. Each step would be a separate function to allow independent scaling. The final system would watch the catalog, index new/updated packages, and provide APIs for searching packages by type or namespace.
