00:01I'd like to now move to Desktop and the devices that run on the desktop.

00:05And for developers out there that are building desktop applications, we have a new architecture.

00:11And because it's new, we've been able to answer a lot of the questions that you've been asking of us for the last few years.

00:17This architecture runs on Windows and on Linux.

00:21It's available for 32-bit and 64-bit execution, and it's scalable.

00:26So what exactly do I mean by scalable?

00:27Well, the laptop that we've got running the PowerPoints on, it's got two CPUs, four cores in each.

00:33That's eight processing paths that I can use in my application, and the Runtime will fully exploit that.

00:40With that scalability, it's important to have an appropriate programming model to exploit it as well.

00:45So we've got an asynchronous programming model.

00:48That means that your applications that you can write can stay very responsive while things are being done in the background.

00:54And finally, it's very easy to deploy.

00:57Every time we thought about adding new functionality into the Runtime, we always asked the question...

01:03...Is this going to complicate the deployment model?

01:06'Cause it's one thing to build an application; it's often a completely different thing, and often harder...

01:11...to make it easy to deploy to your end users out in the field.

01:16What I'd like to do now is pass it over to Mike Branscomb, and he's going to show us the Windows platform with WPF. Mike.

01:23Thanks, Euan. You just heard the many benefits of the Runtime. Let's take a look at some of these now on Windows.

01:30Number one on my list is great cartography.

01:33I'm building a geology viewer application, and the first thing my application needs is a great-looking map.

01:39The starting point for the map you see here was the Geologic mapping template downloaded from ArcGIS.com.

01:46But not only does the map in my application need to look good, it also needs to be fast...

01:50...so I'm going to use a tile package, new at ArcGIS 10.1.

01:54David and Will have already shown you tile packages on the mobile platforms; let's take a quick look now at how we build them.

02:01Tile packaging dialog, accessed from the Sharing menu, helps me choose the tiling scheme...

02:07...the format, and the levels of detail for my tile package.

02:12But in the interest of time, I've already created the tile package, and I'll add that to my application here...

02:18...my GeologyWPF application here in XAML, by defining an ArcGIS local tiled layer.

02:27With the geology map added to my application, let's start that up in [unintelligible] mode and take a look.

02:33And the first thing you notice is the application startup is really fast.

02:38Now, the map looks pretty good at this scale, but as I zoom in, you can really appreciate the full ArcGIS cartographic support...

02:47...including Maplex labeling and representations.

02:54The second benefit on the list, you'll have noticed as I've been navigating around the map...

02:58...is the incredible performance that tile packages give us.

03:03The third benefit of the Runtime I'd like to talk about now is simple deployment.

03:08In order to deploy my application, I need three things - I need the application, I need the maps and data, and I need a runtime.

03:20 The API will automatically find the runtime relative [sic] to my application.

03:25So if I just take the executable, the client DLLs, and drop them here on the USB flash drive...

03:32...next to the ArcGIS Runtime folder that I've already copied across.

03:37I've also already copied across the Geology tile package to the Maps and Data folder.

03:43So that's it all, ready to go. Now I just need to use it for my application.

03:47[Inaudible]

03:52Okay, thanks, Mike. I'm going to take this across the stage here and plug it into the podium laptop.

04:00It will take a couple of seconds for the USB stick to be recognized. Here we have...open the folder.

04:08We should hopefully see the maps and data. There's the application folder. I'm going to start the application up.

04:13It loads up; it's exactly the same application that was deployed and created on the machine across the stage.

04:19I can zoom in, get the same performance. This is all running from the USB stick.

04:24Now, if I want to uninstall this application, it's as easy as pulling out the stick.

04:28And that's it uninstalled. Nothing left on the machine.

04:38So Mike. Back to you.

04:42Well, we've been really busy over the last few months.

04:46Since we first showed you the ArcGIS Runtime at last year's DevSummit, we've been getting some really great feedback from you.

04:51But I've spoken personally with many of you in the beta forums.

04:54You've told us there's a lot about the ArcGIS Runtime you really like...

04:57...but there is one area where you said we need to do some more work - the performance of graphics.

05:02And the reason the ArcGIS Runtime prerelease is a little late is because, in response to your feedback...

05:08...we've been working on the display.

05:11Let me show you beta 2.

05:13If I add a thousand graphics to the display, the navigation is okay.

05:18But start them moving and increase that to 3,000, and you can see straightaway that the experience really slows down...

05:26...and the application starts to become unusable.

05:30Now let me show you prerelease.

05:32Let's add 3,000 graphics, assign them all complex renderer, and start them moving.

05:40The navigation experience is good.

05:48Increase that to 10,000, and the navigation experience is still good.

05:53You told us it wasn't fast enough; we made it faster, the new display.
