In this Issue: Tim Greenfield, Rene Schulte, Jianqiang Bao(-2-, -3-), Alex Knight, Shawn Wildermuth, John Papa and Adam Kinney, Josh Twist, Ning Zhang, John Stockton, and David Anson.

Shoutout:

Mike Taulty has added to his list of Silverlight 4 Beta Networking Videos, bringing the total to 11.

I've got something like 50 posts to review, but some of you have figured out if you submit, you bump up in the queue. I'll get to everything, just thought I'd mention that:)

From:

Ever wished the StackPanel would size out with the children? Tim Greenfield has come to your rescue on that one, with his StackPanel replacement called SuperStackPanel... just download the C#, drop in in and booya, you're there!

Wow... go get this from Rene Schulte... the Silverlight Augmented Reality (SLAR) Toolkit... including not only the full Balder sample but also a new sample using Silverlight's 3D projection.

Jianqiang Bao told me that he plans on doing 30-40 tutorials on his MMORPG programming in Silverlight, so buckle up and start with the three I've got so far. These are discussing animation, and this first is on Storyboards.

Jianqiang Bao's second post is once again on animation, only this time, he's talking about CompositionTarget, and a demo of using it

Jianqiang Bao's third post on animation is covering DispatchTimer... remember the code is available, and he has an online demo also. I'm looking forward to seeing the continuation of this series!

Alex Knight has a new tutorial up on a Silverlight Template he launched. Download the template then walk through his post using Expression Blend to get the major points from it... cool stuff.

Shawn Wildermuth has a post up about RIA Services and Data Services and is looking for comments from you.

John Papa and Adam Kinney discuss the MIX10K winners on Silverlight TV.

Josh Twist has a post up on generating a XAP for all that extra stuff you want to include in your app, and then explains what to do with it once you've got it.

Ning Zhang has a post up specifically targetted at folks having problems with the Silverlight plugin and the NBC Olympics, but this could apply to the same problem and other sites as well.

John Stockton has an article up discussing Expression Blend and it's use as a Designer Tool or a Tool for Design.

David Anson responds to printing requests by printing a chart using the PrintDocument class in Silverlight 4B.

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.
