Silverlight Cream for August 27, 2010 -- #934

In this Issue: John Papa, Beth Massi, Simon Jackson, Rob Miles, Pete Brown(-2-), Senthil Kumar, Don Burnett(-2-), and Brian Noyes.


From:

Tsitsi Gora joins John Papa on the latest Silverlight TV to discuss the new Silverlight themes -- did you know about them? -- how about tips on customizing them from one of the devs?? cool stuff.

5 Lightswitch training videos from Beth Massi... and more to come... what more can be said but thanks Beth!

Yikes.... WCF on WP7... this is sort of an intro and Simon Jackson will post more later, but there's lots of information here to check out.

Losing space in your XNA WP7 game because of the status bar?... Rob Miles gives up the one-liner to take care of that for you.

Pete Brown posted his slide deck and WPF app for his 10-things talk... download the zip and read his post...

Pete Brown's words of wisdom on multi-targetting not only WPF and Silverlight but throw WP7 into the mix as well!

Senthil Kumar and Justin Angel are on the same wavelength apparently, developing WP7 apps in F#... Senthil shows off a template for that purpose written by Daniel Moll that's available in the Visual Studio Gallery

Don Burnett has a list up of links to the Windows Phone Design Days videos... if you haven't seen them, here's a good one-stop spot.

Don Burnett also has a great list of Execution Model best practices for WP7 developers.

Brian Noyes has tutorial 6 up in his series on WCF RIA Services at SilverlightShow, and is discussing validation this time out. q

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.
