Folding animation in Silverlight 3
Corey Schuman posted a very cool box-unfolding app... all the flaps come open but there's no surprise inside ... no toy!... :) ... very nice animation, Corey ... and congrats on the book with Jesse!
Blend 3: Triggers, Actions, Behaviors
Christian Schormann continues discussing Blend 3 and behaviours. This time he digs a bit deeper and includes Triggers and Actions. Get your arms around this and the last one ... his next one is going to be examples.
Rotation controlled direction using trigonometry and radians in Silverlight
Gavin Wignall has a nice post up with all the trig you need for messing around with rotation in a game or anything else you may be doing, but moving the tank in the direction turned to is just cool:)
Silverlight for WordPress
Tim Heuer has a Silverlight plugin available for WordPress, and credit-where-credit-is-due to other folks working in the same space. If you're blog is WordPress, you should be able to find it.
Silverlight 3's New GPU Acceleration
Jeff Prosise investigates GPU acceleration in this post basically he loaded up the system with a demo then by adding GPU Acceleration and Bitmap caching he dropped the CPU usage to about 20% of before... cool stuff!
Accordion part 3
Ruurd Boeke is up to 3 parts on the Accordion now... this time looking into some of the template parts ... yikes :) .. but along the way he's even editing some keysplines in Blend ... so you get a bit of everything in this one :)
Silverlight 3 Quick Tip #4: Hardware Acceleration
Want the quick-and-dirty on how and where to use GPU Acceleration? ... Alex Golesh has it for you... wrapped up very neatly.
Silverlight 3 Quick Tip #5: Assembly Caching
Alex Golesh follows that last one up with a similar post on Assembly Caching ... another brief expose suitable for stuffing away somewhere for when you need it.
