From:

Justin Angel has an awesome Wiki page up for WP7 development, and I thought that even before I saw 2 shoutouts to me:)... thanks for the effor, Justin, *and* the shoutouts... this is going on the RH sidebar at WynApse.com

Colin Eberhardt has a nice post up about making the ItemsControl and Grid play nicely together... lotsa code, good pictures... everything a good SL Dev needs:)

While not strictly Silverlight, Kellabyte has an interesting Extensible WCF Service Interface post up... could be right down the alley we're working in!

Jesse Liberty has his latest "Yet Another Podcast" up and this time he's interviewing Shawn Wildermuth... so much information, so little time!

Jeremy Likness is making Jounce look more and more enticing... part 7 of his walk through the feature set is on data validation and CRUD operations.

Ryan Alford has a post up talking about the Microsoft AdControl for WP7... nice tutorial starting with downloading the control

Brad Tutterow's latest WP7 Tip is about the use of Trial Mode... as someone who lurks around the Marketplace, I'll tell you... use trial mode in your apps!

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.
