In this issue: Jesse Liberty, Michael Sync, Shawn Burke, David Anson, Andy Beaulieu, Dan Wahlin, Laurent Bugnion, Expression Blend and Design Blog, Lee, and Mike Snow

Kathy Kam reports that Silverlight 2 has RTW! (a week ago) , and her controls sample is updated... she also hints she is working on another sample... I'm guessing it's with the Toolkit :)

Silverlight Cream for October 28, 2008 -- #409

In this issue: Mike Snow, Jeff Handley, James Bacon, and Alex Knight.

If you are NOTAtPDC, a few people have lists of the posts you may be interested in. Most notably is Silverlight @ PDC! by Karen Corby, and for general information Microsoft Professional Developers Conference 2008 Virtual Pressroom. I have been collecting links to PDC2008 sessions in my MSDN Social Bookmarks and also my personal bookmarks.

Devexpress has a timely Silverlight Controls Preview, and they've got some coolness going on there. If you haven't looked at them, do so!

Jeff Paries reports an Important date approaching… which is the release of his book, and he is leaking some more demos on his blog post... definitely look at these and get energized :)

From SilverlightCream.com:
Silverlight Tools RTW Released!
I was out looking for this, wondering when it would be announced... Mike Snow announed the Silverlight Tools RTW release ... lots of goodies in there. I've played just a little with it, not enough to write a blog post, unfortunately, but I'm sure we'll see them later on today... have fun!
How to skin buttons made easy! Silverlight Tutorial
Alex Knight posted a link to this on the OZ Silverlight list just this morning... a very nice tutorial on skinning a button... and dang does he make it look simple!
HelloWorld.ViewModel
Jeff Handley has done HellowWorld with the ViewModel, came back and posted code, then followed it up with Binding Converters - VisibilityConverter ... all good stuff, thanks Jeff!
A new forum dedicated to Silverlight game development and design
James Bacon announced that he and SilverlightGirl have opened a forum dedicated to discussing Silverlight Game development. If you're at all interested, this may be the place to go. Bill, Jeff P, Jeff W, Andy, Cameron, and whoever I left out... could be fun!

Sorry for the spam feedback comments

I've left comments open on this blog so that people could respond easily. Unfortunately as some of you have probably found out, someone with a room-temperature IQ has been making spam comments of a very rude nature to many of my posts, and they've probably been forwarded to other posters as well.

I've added Captcha to the comments, and if it turns out to be a live person and he persists past that, then I will moderate... as it turns out, while I was typing this, another came through, so I'm going to assume it really is a live person... wow... that can't pay well! So, I have moderation turned on as well.

Guess I should have been doing that all along.
