Silverlight Cream for March 6, 2008 - 2 -- #213

Needed to get some time by myself again, so took the opportunity to blog some things. Met the guys from Cynergy Systems and had lunch with some of the other folks in the WPF-Silverlight Insiders group. Great to meet all of you finally!

Tip of the Day: Tutorial Image Distortion and what You and I can Do
Jesse Liberty gives thoughts on images in his tutorials, and to be honest, I didn't notice! ... I was interested in the content :) ... keep 'em coming, Jesse!
Silverlight 2 Tutorials - Source Code
Jesse discusses a common issue that I've dealt with as well, and that's how to display code, make it look nice on the page, AND make it be useable. I've recently altered how I'm doing this, opting for a less-pretty version in favor of a more-usable one.
A Great Early Silverlight 2 Showcase: TextGlow
Tim Sneath blogs about a SL2 app that reads and displays (duh) Word .docx files. It's by Intergen, and you can read about it and get the links off Tim's blog.
MIX08 Day 2 Keynote Live Blog
This is a live blog of Tim's on the Steve Ballmer interview for the Day 2 keynote... good stuff!

MIX '08 Day 2 Morning

I didn't go to the first  morning session, but I spent my time well blogging about everything being put out the last couple days.

I did go to Karen Corby's GREAT SL Controls presentation.

When her material gets posted, I'll blog it again, but her blog is: http://scorbs.com/work

Do NOT miss getting this material... simply wonderful controls material and information!

This is going to be not only BUSY... but is going to take a while on this connection. I think I'm going to blog them and then push them into SilverlightCream after the fact. There's also so much, I might do author-themed posts until I catch up :)

From SilverlightCream.com:
Slides and Demos From My MIX 08 Talk
Great demo from Joe Stegman and Mike Harsh... all the code and slides are on Mike's blog, and it's apparently VERY busy this morning... took forever to log in!

Maybe this is 'so yesterday' but it's definitely a good reference to MIX '08 from Tim Sneath

Again from Tim Sneath and again if you want it, you probably have it, but here's a reference link for all the downloads announced yesterday.

Looks like Delay worked on the SL2 ListBox, ListBoxItem, ScrolViewer, and ScrollContentPresenter, and he's got lots of information for us all on the use thereof!
