When you think User Group you think of a bunch of geeks sitting around, but holy crap... check out this stellar crew: Launch of the Dutch Silverlight and Expression Insiders User Group... wow... there's a good 6 months worth of world-class speakers sitting at that table!... good luck guys.

The guys at Storm Ideas have a great Visualization up that they did for the Scottish Government. There's a ton of data involved in this, so take some time checking it out... very cool, Bob!

Danijel Stulic did a.NET RIA Services presentation at MSForge CodeCamp and is sharing all his materials and code.

René Schulte continues on his quest of the WriteableBitmap and wow... check out the drawing lines between to points, and lots of them, and FAST!

Interesting that there are two intro Silverlight posts out in the last two days, but Jesse Liberty is embarking on a 'from zero' series. This one sets the stage, where to get it, etc... watch for the rest, these should be great!

There's a great beginner's tutorial on Windows Client.NET. This assumes you're running VS2010, but from there it's step-by-step.

Sergey Barskity is blogging on two fronts with his latest: CollectionViewSource and Navigation Framework.

Jeff Prosise is still playing with Pixel Shaders and in particularl HLSL, and has created a Pixel Shader that creates a Reflection... too cool!

Vikram Pendse has part 3 of his Sketchflow tutorials up. I'm not sure there can be too many of these... good stuff, and great external links, check it out!

Frank La Vigne linked out to a Channel 9 video on Silverlight, Prism, and Unity.

With Silverlight Streaming going away and server space costing us money, Tim Greenfield shows how to host your.xap files on Amazon S3... starting from getting an account all the way out.

Stay in the 'Light!

  • We Won The One Award I Actually Care About

    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.
