Matthias Shapiro contributed a chapter for a book on Visualization and it's available as a free download: Free Chapter From Beautiful Visualization

Andy Beaulieu has a demo up as almost a spoiler for a future Coding4Fun app... and how cool is this: Shuffleboard: A Windows Phone 7 Sample Game


From:

Phil Middlemiss' latest is out on SilverlightShow and is all about the ContentControl and separating layout and content... demo project source included

Max Paulousky has part one of a long series he's starting on a demo project to explain a bunch of MEF, MVVM, and WCF RIA concepts. This first one contains the overview and also discusses SEO. There is a link to the app and material in the post if you read Russian:)

Jeff Wilcox has available updated Unit Test bits for Silverlight 3 -- read that as WP7... read the rest of the information on his post.

David Anson has some code up that you're going to want if you're programming WP7... just watch the video... you'll be downloading the code just like I did:)

René Schulte has a post up at Coding4Fun about PixelShaders... how to write them and an application that uses them... this is a great long tutorial... a must read.

Xianzhong Zhu has part 2 of his FreeCell game development posted... lots of detailed descriptions and code, plus all the code of course!

Jeff Handley has a post up that is sort of a follow-on to a year-old post on async validation with RIA services and DataForm and how it's all much easier now in SL4.

John Papa and Arturo Toledo discuss.toolbox in Silverlight TV #29 -- have you made yourself an avatar yet?... well go get on-board with this great learning tool!

OOB isn't difficult, dynamic modules can become a bit more, but what if you're OOB... ok what if you're OOB and offline?... Jeremy Likness has a possible solution for this with an OfflineCatalog.

Marlon Grech has a great into to MEFedMVVM in this post. If you're trying to get your head around MEF and MVVM in either WPF or Silverlight, here's a good starting point.

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.
