Shoutouts:

Rob Eisenberg has a contest going... check it out: Caliburn.Micro Contest

Braulio Diez & Sebastian Stehle have a great-looking site up with some cool (free) tools in Silverlight:

pauliom has a couple interesting thoughts about Silverlight, web and mobile: How I think Silverlight can work on desktop & phone

From:

goldytech demonstrates and discusses an app that demonstrates browser integration and DOM manipulation. Being an old WPF/E person... I thought this was pretty cool:)

Rob Eisenberg has a Caliburn.Micro post up... continuation of his on-going Soup to Nuts series and this is a pretty cool post on Screens and Conductors... great graphics and good descriptions/examples.

Chris Rouw has a WCF RIA Services post up describing an issue he came across with multiple bindings and ratted out a solution he's sharing.

Denis Gladkikh has two posts up on some basic Silverlight topics. First up is this one on validation of input. Two code-heavy examples, just the way we like 'em, and all the code for download.

In the second of the series, Denis Gladkikh takes on validation via IDataErrorInfo and INofigyDataErrorInfo... you should read Part 1 before this one if you aren't already familiar with the material.

Continuing to work with data in Blend, Mike Taulty proceeds from real into sample data in his latest Blend Bits post.

Mohamed Mosallem is up to Episode 10 in his Silverlight 4.0 Tutorial series... he's got a good one up today on the PathListBox, and lots of Blend goodness.

Mike Ormond has a Live Tiles post up discussing the whole Push Notification Service thing for WP7.

Vuyiswa Maseko has a really complete 2-part series up at DotNetFunda on sending email from a Silvelright app. This first part sets up the WCF service side of things.

In this 2nd part of Vuyiswa Maseko's series, he is consuming the email service he built in the first tutorial.

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.
