LEGO Turing Machine

To honor Alan Turing, we built a simple LEGO Turing Machine, to show everyone how simple a computer actually is. Primary goals were to make every operation as visible as possible and to make it using the automatic components of just a single LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT set, to make it easy to reproduce for those interested.

Temperature Monitoring using VB.Net, Micro-framework and a Netduino – The Visual Basic Team – Site Home – MSDN Blogs

The Netduino hardware is a micro-controller running a very small version cut down version of the .NET framework called the Micro-Framework. This enables .NET developers to write their application code using C# and recently added VB.NET. Allowing you to write you application as high level code dealing with the problem rather than having to resort to using low level assembler to control the hardware. There are some things that a not implemented with Generics / Late Binding being the obvious two but the code is clearly VB.NET / C# and you use Visual Studio as a development tool.
