Attribution error: Alan Mendelevich wrote me this morning to thank me for posting a link to his post. Unfortunately I had attributed it to someone else:( Go check this out its some pretty cool code!

If you're into 3D, you'll want to check out this post by Pavan Podila: Source code of Simple 3D Engine, now part of FluidKit.


From:

In this great post by Jesse Liberty, he tackles the WTF do I poke this Silverlight stuff to get the learning going question. Jesse lists lots of options and I like them all. All you have to do is let your guard down for a few minutes and you're back in the OMG state again it seems:)

Scott Marlowe has Part 2 of his Silverlight TagCloud series up. This part is the Silverlight Control. Code-heavy and lots of learning in there!

Adam Kinney fades in an image as the imageOpened event triggers. He shows how simple it really is with Blend... Good one, Adam!

This is a cool post... Andrew Marshall found a problem, wrote a test to produce the problem, wrote code to get the test to pass, and then submitted the code to the toolkit team... oh, and to us:)

Brad Abrams revisits Part 2 with VB this time, and then near the end throws in some ADO.NET Data Services just because.

Stay in the 'Light!

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
