August 15, 2010 · 1 min read

In this Issue: Michael Washington, Michael Crump, Don Burnett, John Papa, Jeremy Alles, Rob Miles(-2-), and David Gadd.

From:

Michael Washington has a cool post up on building a Behavior in Blend to produce an Open File Dialog.

Michael Crump responds to some questions about a 'fade-in' screen effect built with Expression Blend, and has a tutorial up on that and a demo page.

I've seen a few folks post some of the "Windows Phone Design Days" videos, but Don Burnett has gathered a great list of them on his blog.

Even John Papa can have issues installing the WP7 dev tools, so why not you?... read how he got his problems ironed out... might help you too!

[WP7] Sound effect in a Silverlight Windows Phone 7 application

Jeremy Alles has a post up discussing sound in WP7, specifically sound effects, and how to do so using some XNA...

If you haven't figured out how to write debug messages out in WP7, this quick post from Rob Miles will resolve that for you.

I had a second post to list of Rob Miles', but when I refreshed the page, this one on WP7 Orientation in XNA popped up and looked like a winner.

I found David Gadd's post via another link this morning. I'm definitely adding his blog to my list... here's a good one on TDD and WP7.

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.
