Shoutouts:

The SilverlightShow folks have a good webinar series going. The next one is December 15th: Building a Silverlight 4 Application End-to-end with Gill Cleeren.

From:

Gill Cleeren has a new post up at SilverlightShow about Silverlight and Webservices, and in particular RESTful services... good info about services in general leading up to the main event.

Peter Kuhn describes the elusive yet simple act of registering a WP7 device for development.

Erik Mork and Co. have their latest Podcast up and are talking about the upcoming Firestarter and their Portland->Redmond wifi-equipped busride... too cool, guys!

Falling into the not necessarily Silverlight category is Jesse Liberty's latest "Yet Another Podcast" interviewing Ian Griffiths... all good subjects and information though... check it out!

Kirupa Chinnathambi waxes poetic on the Pivot Control on WP7... beginning with a video demo then moving into how to use it via Blend.

Michael Crump has part 1 of a 4-parter up that is a series of entries that answer 3 questions: 1) What is it? 2) Why do I care? and 3) How do I do it?... good stuff, even if you've been at this a while.

Brad Tutterow shows how to implement your icons so they pick up the WP7 theme like the default ones do.

Jay Kimble has a two-parter up on Service Call Guidance and Asynchronous callbackmethods... a bit of a rant followed by guidance... sorta like the stick and carrot:)

In the 2nd post, Jay Kimble is showing how to implement Asynchronous calls from our existing Synchronous calls.

Rob Tiffany is talking about Network Awareness and WP7 and jumps right into a tutorial on how to deal with the situaion, and builds out a nice little app in the process.

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.
