Shoutouts:

Rob Tiffany has been kind enough to aggregate some (all?) of the Windows Phone 7 Demo Fest Tech Ed Video

From:

Kunal Chowdhury explains using a ValueConverter to set the Visibility of another control... good tutorial, lots of yummy code:)

John Papa gets together with Scott Guthrie in this week's Silverlight TV and talks about the upcoming Firestarter... not just what's going on there, but what's online as well.

Jesse Liberty has his latest "Full Stack" video up with him and Jon Galloway doing their MVC3 ASP.NET, Silverlight, and WP7 app.

Jesse Liberty also has his latest WP7 from Scratch number 7 up, adding a slider and text block to the previous version of the app.

Den Delimarsky's latest is merging his photography hobby with WP7 and is discussing his work on a FlickrUploader for WP7... and has the source for all of us!

Paul Sheriff has a post up that addresses a problem I've seen with apps from the WP7 Marketplace: dealing with orientation changes gracefully.

When Charles Petzold speaks(or writes), I make it a point to listen... and he's got a post up about playing MP3 or WMA files that you have access to over the airwaves... how cool is that?

Brad Tutterow has a couple posts up, both associated with detecting connectivity on a WP7 device... this first one is on using the NetworkInterface class to know if you've got internet access.

Brad Tutterow's latest follows the connectivity path and is about detecting changes using the NetworkAddressChanged event.

Alexander Viken posts about another awesome set of Metro Icons produced by yankoa... 209 icons*3 colors... too cool... get 'em while they're hot!

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.
