From:

Michael Crump posted a video tutorial today on the Coded UI Test Framework that we got with the VS2010 Feature Pack 2. Wanna create automated tests?... check out Michael's video and save yourself some time.

Jesse Liberty posted his Windows Phone from Scratch number 12 today... and it's on Custom Behaviors... cool stuff... need to read this and get your head around it... this is part 1, jump on it before he drops part 2 on us!

Shawn Wildermuth has a thought-provoking post up... check it out and see if you're ready to join him on the adventure of building for all the platforms...

Domagoj Pavlešic has a test app up for the accelerometer on the WP7... if you need to use it, and are having problems, a good example always helps me.

Peter Kuhn found a need for a tool to creat some animations for an WP7 XNA game... so he challenged himself to write it, and detailed out all his steps as he went.

James Ashley's most recent post is on the Pivot Control... check this out... add a working Horizontally oriented slider to a pivot... plus some external links to help out

This is one of those posts that I had to go to SilverlightCream and make sure I hadn't hit it yet... pretty cool prototype sheets for WP7 by Sara Summers... we've seen others, they're all good.

Morten Nielsen helps you get around the fact that you're not going to be able to use the emulator for testing your GPS app... at least not without some assistance... and that doesn't mean hauling your dev system around your neighborhood, either.

We've seen posts on Tombstoning, but probably not from Silverlight team members... check this one out from Peter Torr... great even sequence information and all the info on how to correctly handle it, plus external links to the documentation... you knew there was documentation, right?:)

Tau Sick has a post up discussing Localization and your WP7 apps... coming from soneone with an app in the marketplace in 3 languages, it's a pretty good bet he's got it figured out!

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.
