Shoutouts:

In addition to the XAML Power Toys release noted below, Karl Shifflett also announced

Rob Eisenberg has announced Caliburn v1 RTW for WPF, Silverlight 2.0 and 3.0!

Shawn Wildermuth shares his material with us from his Second Week of European Conference Tour... like being there only not:)


From:

Alex Knight's latest tutorial is on SketchFlow, and he has a good intro going. He also has the project running on another page so you can directly play with it.

Michael Washington has a proof of concept up for an update advisor for his ADefHelpDesk that is written in Silverlight... pretty cool.

For Number 18 in his "Learn Blend in a Month" Series, Gavin Wignall is discussing Behaviors and follows up with external links to other sites for Behaviors.

If you're using WordPress, Tim Heuer adapted Mark Heath's Silverlight Audio Player as a WordPress plugin.

Shawn Wildermuth has a cool post up about the use of the PagedCollectionView class. Great example demonstrating grouping in a DataGrid.

Karl Shifflett wastes no time in updating his tools. He has XAML Power Toys updated for VS2010 B2 already.

Karl Shifflett also has a post up about writing a "WPF and Silverlight platform neutral control designer". Great stuff, Karl!!

Mark Miller has part 4 of his MVVM with Prism series up, and this one is on Modules or more definitively, how to implement IModule.

The Silverlight Blog has a set of 10 keyboard shortcuts up for Blend that will make you say "huh.. I didn't know that!"

René Schulte is at it again with another Pixel Shader. For this one he turned to the Shazzam tool and produced a winner.

Stay in the 'Light!

    Full Scale made the Inc. 5000 for the fifth year straight, the 12th listing across my three companies. Here is why the one award you cannot buy is worth stopping for.

  • 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.
