Wow -- I did NOT miss yesterday and I have 12 solid links for today... everyone's been *really* busy :)

Also:

David Anson reports an update to his LayoutTransformControl: An unexceptional layout improvement [Two LayoutTransformControl fixes for Silverlight 2!], and you can now set both ScaleX and ScaleY to zero.

Cameron Albert has Some New Perenthia Screen Shots up.

Live Labs has announced New: Seadragon Ajax with a 3-step process involving a "Build Embed" function returning the code ... I think I can handle that :)

Take a look at the pages Dave Burke has hooked up to his Stylin' tag ... very cool sites.

Mike Taulty did a very nice 7-page tutorial on WPF, REST, and Twitter. Number 7 is WPF and "Twistori": Part 7 (of 7 :-)).


From SilverlightCream.com:
Silverlight clientaccesspolicy.xml files for the Enterprise (Part 1 of 2)
Bart Czernicki posted part 1 of a two-parter on using the ClientAccessPolicy file in the Enterprise... this is a good-sized article, so give yourself some time to read it... it's good stuff!
Using the TreeView control in Silverlight 2
Martin Mihaylov has a nice tutorial on the TreeView up on SilverlightShow ... what do you think the chances are of posting something like this at the same time as Justin Angel? [see below]

Silverlight Tip [AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR]
crocusgirl posted this tip on her latest [AG_E_NETWORK_ERROR] and how she got around it... mileage may vary, but if you're using media files from a local app directory, read this close... any explanation of obscure messages is *always* good :)

John Papa has his material posted from last week ... this consists of DataAccess with SL2, Enterprise Library Data Access Application Block, and Entity Framework.
Preview of Upcoming Physics Fun
OK I admit, I may have had more of this posted earlier, but two times I've played with this demo from Andy Beaulieu and just am amazed watching the figure ... great job on this, Andy!

Justin, Justin, Justin... when DO you sleep??? ... holy crap... on the heels of that 50+ page paper yesterday on Design-Time Extensibility, here we are with a great TreeView tutorial from Justin Angel... dang!
Embedding and Obfuscating fonts
Corey Schuman discusses Fonts and what to do with them... good discussion and a couple good links to other resources.
Becoming a Silverlight Programmer
Jesse Liberty responds to a query about what you need to know/do to become a Silverlight programmer ... what a great set of resources... good thoughtful response... and I say that not just because he mentioned me :) ... and thanks for the shoutout, Jesse!
