From:

Michael Washington has a great tutorial up on Code Project of using Jeremy Likness' Sterling database for a Silverlight app... a lot of work and knowledge there, thanks Michael!

Sigurd Snørteland has a great myChannel9 WP7 app that he's completely explaining and sharing code for... just check out those screenshots -- gonna load that baby up:)

Mark Monster has been exceedingly busy over the last few days... he's put out 4 more sections to his great link list of stuff to bone up on before taking the Silvelright 4 exam. This is number 4, followed by 5), 6), and 7).

David Anson takes a very detailed comprehensive look at the ListPicker in the WP7 toolkit... just check out the pictures, you'll want the code:)

Jesse Liberty's got #11 of his YAP-CAST series up... and this is a part 1 of 2 parts with Charlie Kindel on WP7 best practices.

Jesse Liberty also has part 4 of his Windows Phone from Scratch series up and is taking a first long look at XAML.

Mike Taulty continues his 'Touched' series... and has a simple example up of a single-finger drag flipping one picture to another... in WPF, Silverlight, and WP7.

Mike Taulty has another post up that's pretty cool... displaying charts made from XML data... would have been helpful for me a few months ago...

Brad Tutterow has been keeping up with his WP7 Tip of the Day posts... on the 1st he had this one all about the Toolkit GestureListener.

Brad Tutterow's tip for the 2nd was this one on another Toolkit item: Context Menus... nice looking example too, with all the code.

Brad Tutterow's tip for yesterday was about the Toolkit DatePicker control... and I like how this works... been using it on my WP7 on the built-in stuff.

Catching up to Brad Tutterow with today's entry on the Toolkit TimePicker... that goes hand-in-hand with the DatePicker from yesterday.

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.

    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.

    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.
