On his own time, he wrote the book, Windows Phone 7 XNA Cookbook.
While working full time at Snibbe, Zheng was also completing distance education courses as part of his MUM MS program. Out of 50,000 apps in the Windows Store “Entertainment” category, Microsoft decided to feature Gravilux. After making a version for IOS, Zheng was instrumental in making a version of Gravilux for Windows 8. Color the stars by their speed, and make them dance. You can tease and twist the particles into galaxies, or explode them like a supernova. As you touch the screen, gravity draws simulated stars to your fingertips. Gravilux is an interactive musical starfield visualizer: it’s a combination of music, animation, art, and science. There he got the chance to work with Scott Snibbe, the pioneer of computer vision technology, who came up with the idea of “Gravilux.” Following completion of his on-campus courses, Zheng interned at Snibbe Interactive in San Francisco as an Immersive Media Software Engineer. While still an MUM student, Zheng Yang has already achieved a number of laudable professional achievements. Once he heard about the MS in Computer Science for Computer Professionals at Maharishi University of Management, he applied and began his studies here in February 2010. At that time he started looking for a graduate program combining academic learning and practical working opportunities. Prior to enrolling in our MSCS program, Zheng worked for about 2 years as a Software Engineer in mainland China. Zheng Yang has a strong thirst for knowledge, and the desire to excel as an IT professional.
