Pluralsight Developing for Leap Motion in C# course is out!

Finally, I’m proud to share with you that the course Developing for Leap Motion in C# was published yesterday. This is a course John Sonmez and I (my co-host at Get up and Code! ) did together earlier this fall. The way we divided the work is interesting, and we have two modules where we are pair programming (over Skype as I live in Sweden and he lives in US), which is a Pluralsight first I believe.

Images below are screenshots from the course taken with my Windows Phone - there is a Pluralsight app available for WP, Android, iOS and so on.

Got questions?

I’ve gotten quite a few emails with Leap Motion question, don’t hesitate to contact me if you need help - but consider posting the question on StackOverflow and emailing me the link- many of the questions are the same/similar and it would be good to let others benefit from the answers - and also allow more devs to give an input. If the question are in regards to the course, consider using the discussion option in the course found on the Pluralsight website.

This is the structure of the course: (course is 3 h)
