June 24, 2010 · 1 min read

In this Issue: Mark Monster, Brian Noyes, Michael Klucher, i-programmer, and Mike Snow.

From:

Google Analytics with WP7?... Mark Monster leverages his experience in this area to to work out a way to get to a web page to track analytics... pretty clever Mark, and all the code is there for us!

Brian Noyes has part 2 of his RIA Services series up at SilverlightShow. This one covers Querying the data including adding parameterized collection query to the domain service and also custom domain services... plus all the code of course.

Now here's a really useful post for WP7 game developers by Michael Klucher... if you've tried to build an XNA game for WP7 and can't see it on the emulator... it's because it defaults to the game hub and oh, you can't get there!

The authors at i-programmer have an introduction to custom bitmap effects up in a 3-page post. If you're wondering what all has to be done, this might be a good place to begin... external links and good information.

Mike Snow has a tip up on BiDi text, with an example and code to go with it.

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.
