Did not have much free time to continue with our Entwicklercamp demo series. I moved from one flat to another in Karlsruhe, had project work to do and some problems with my notebook hardware: nVidia graphic chip crash on my Macbook Pro.
The last picture of my old Macbook Pro logic board looked like this:

Pretty creative :-)
Some reinstallation attempts, 1-2 weeks of waiting and a board exchange later, it’s working again (did not have to pay money, “just” lost a lot of time -> thanks nVidia!).

So here is the next part of our Entwicklercamp series: It’s a Composite Application to test our CA component. You can select a few parameters. The CA component on the left hand side of the screen then produces a string of all that values and sends it to our component on the right hand side to display it.

The component can visualize six different type of things:

  • pictures
  • pie charts
  • bar charts
  • basic RTF
  • basic HTML
  • and 3D satellite pictures

Here are a few impression of how it looks like:

Please note that you need to have our component installed on your system to use the tester CA (see
