From:

Emiel Jongerius posted about a Memory Leak in PanelDragDropTarget and the circumstances surrounding duplicating it.

To the best of my knowledge, this is Katka Vaughan's first tutorial (I know it's the first time for SC), and it's a winner... this is part 1 of a 2-parter on building a Netflix browser for WP7

Jay Kimble has a great post up on getting to your Panorama page after returning from Tombstoning... if you're not into WP7, that all sounded weird, I know...:)

Mike Taulty has his latest Blend Bits up -- Number 14 -- and he's discussing Fluid Movement in this tutorial.

Thomas Martinsen is discussing Page Navigation and sending/retrieving parameters while you do it on WP7.

From the Silverlight for WP7 Performance Team blog... Listbox Scroll Performance... read tips from the guys that built the stuff... watch for more from this blog

Chris Koenig has a must-read post up for all the aspiring WP7 app sellers... "Straight from the WP7 Marketplace gurus"

Beth Massi was busy this last week... first was a post up on LightSwitch Access control... #11 in the video tutorial series

The second video Beth Massi posted was on Deploying a LightSwitch app, and this post also has links out to the other 11! videos in the series.

Jeff Blankenburg's #16 in his 31-day quest for WP7 dev is up, and today is a great long tutorial on the Panorama control

Jesse Liberty revisits his WP7 Naviation tutorial and rebuilds it in Blend to prove that you need to get up to speed on Blend to be serious with WP7... Following his great tutorial on this post will be a good start!

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.
