It seems as though speech recognition is once again becoming a very popular topic. Over the last few weeks, I’ve received hundreds of emails from readers asking about how to do different things using speech recognition and C#. One of the requests I received was from a reader interested in controlling Firefox using speech recognition and C#. Curious as to this myself, I put together a simple application to get him started and now I’m going to share that app with the rest of you. I’m not going to explain in detail how any of this works right now because I’ve already explained the basics in my other speech recognition articles (1, 2, 3). Instead, I’m just going to post the code here for the rest of you to enjoy. The only commands I have implemented so far are the “home” and “back” buttons. But, the example still provides you with enough information to implement more methods. And, as always, if you have any questions or comments, please leave them in the comments section below. You can download the complete project at http://www.prodigyproductionsllc.com/downloads/FirefoxAutomation.zip.

One of my readers recently asked if I would write an article explaining how to control a mouse pointer using speech recognition and C#. Unfortunately, I have been devoting every minute to my new startup and haven’t had time to write the article as the reader requested. I did however manage to squeeze in a few minutes to throw together a simple Windows Form Application that should be a great starting point for a project like this. As soon as I get a few extra minutes, I will come back and write a complete article explaining how everything works and how to improve on it. Until then, I’m going to go ahead and provide you with the same source code I provided my other reader as I’m sure there are others out there interested in doing something similar. But, as always, if you have any questions or comments about the code below, feel free to leave me a message in the comments below and I’ll answer you as soon as possible.

Recently, I’ve received several emails asking about the status of my real-time collaboration platform project. So, I decided to take a few minutes to address this with a quick blog post. In case you aren’t familiar with my RTC platform, you can get an idea of it here. Basically, I am working on building a platform that will allow others to create any type of server that involves multiple users. For example, if you wanted to create your own chat server, you could use my platform as a starting point and would only have to write a few lines of code to make it work. If you wanted to create a streaming HTTP server, video conferencing server, or audio chat server, again, you would use my platform as the base foundation for your application. My platform works by allowing anyone to quickly and easily get a multi-user server up and running in no time. Let’s take a look at another real-world example of where my platform could be used.

Yesterday, I showed you how to create a Woot! Off notifier using Python. As promised, I’m now going to show you how to create a Woot! Off notifier using C#. In case you didn’t read yesterday’s article, it basically told how I love Woot! Off’s, but hate having to constantly refresh my browser to check for new items. Instead, I decided to write a tool that does that for me. In the Python version I wrote, it only displays the item name and price. In today’s article, I’m taking it a bit further by showing you how to create a Windows Form that displays the item description along with the item name and price. And, I even show you how to display the item image and the progress bar that shows how many items are left just like on the Woot! site. So, let’s get started.

Some co-workers and I recently had a conversation about programming and the question was asked, “what’s next?” The conversation started after reading an article about how Oracle is making a lot of changes that are effecting a huge crowd of developers and companies. I’ve said plenty of times before that i think Oracle will be the down fall of Java. However, one of my co-workers is wrapped up in Java that he feels like it is “the future” of programming. If he would have said that back in the ’90s, I would’ve agreed. But, I don’t think that statement still stands true today. Let me explain why.
