In this issue: Jeff Paries, Rob Houweling, Bart Czernicki, Jeff Wilcox, Dan Wahlin, Peter Bromberg, Gerard Leblanc, and Dave Burke.


From SilverlightCream.com:
Foundation Silverlight 2 Animation
Jeff Paries wrote that his book is out... how cool is that?? If all the videos he and Rob Houweling have posted aren't enough incentive for you, he has a chapter available to be read: Foundation Silverlight 2 Animation... and this is Simulating 3D in 2D ... fun stuff :) ... awesome job, Jeff!
Another one on repacking XAPs to reduce filesize
Not only did Rob Houweling write 'another' article on repacking XAP files, but he wrote a tool to do so, and explains how to link it into VS2008... very nice, Rob!
PDC 2008 - Silverlight 2 Wrap-Up
Bart Czernicki did a very nice job of posting a Silverlight wrap-up of PDC... information and links out to everything ... like a one-stop-shop.
Renaming Xap to Zip is dead. Long live renaming Xap to Zip!
Jeff Wilcox shows how to get your system to recognize XAP as ZIP ... but check out the comments also! Jeff also has a great article on Getting Expression Encoder 2 SP1’s media player template to work
Using Styles to Define Silverlight 2 Control Templates
Dan Wahlin follows up his Styling article with this one on templates ... not difficult to understand... check it out!
Silverlight 2 Custom Stock Charts With Silverlight Toolkit
Peter Bromberg took on the stock market as a way to investigate the Charting controls in the Toolkit ... came out very nice... and he supplies all the code, which is very nice too :)
Menus, part III : animated multi-level drop-down menu
Gerard Leblanc follows up his last menu post with this one animating the menus... they didn't animate for me the first time, so I was confused :) ... I went back to the previous, and then forward to this one and voila... there they are, and they expand out diagonally... pretty cool actually!
My First Silverlight 2.0 Application Deployment Rodeo
Dave Burke had problems deploying his Silverlight 2 app, and is sharing his troubles and solution with everyone... worth a look so that when you get bit, you'll know the answer. Hint... it has to do with Web Services.

Stay in the 'Light!
