From:
David Catuhe takes an excursion into the Markup Extensions feature in Silverlight 5 Beta... including using them for events.
Paul Sheriff follows up his previous post on mirroring an image with this one on adding some depth to the image to make it more pleasing (and realistic).
Bill Steele has a 6-part series of webcasts going on Game development in Silverlight for WP7... the first 4 have already taken place...start watching the On-Demand ones and catch up before part 5 hits on the 4th!
This is pretty sweet... Den Delimarsky posted instructions on launching the Maps app in the emulator, plus some helpful hints on using the funcitonality
Bill Burrows has a video tutorial up about Async callbacks on WP7... specifically about OData... using the LoadCompleted event to manage the UI and enable capabilities when the data service is complete.
Doug Rathbone posted about updating a Live Tile without the push from a remote webserver... sort of a cross between a live tile and a toast notification, if you will.
Matthias Shapiro jumped in on WP7 Push Notifications from the standpoint of explaining it all to a beginner with this first of 3 posts... overview of push notifications (10,000 foot level)
Jason Alderman has a cool post up of taking a screenshot of an existing (iPhone) app, pulling it into Blend, and using it as a pattern of sorts to build a WP7 app that has the same visual effects.
Jessica Fosler's got a post up on 'Clicks' on the WP7... how to deal with lack of click effects... what if your user thinks he clicked something but didn't... avoiding getting in the way of the back, windows, or search button.
John Garland is adding new functionality to the LightTouch library... a CodePlex project, and is adding some cool touch support for Popups and for controls where different layers make use of different behaviors.
WindowsPhoneGeek's latest post is on buildng a WP7 app with Master/Detail Navigation using the Repository Pattern for passing data between pages.
Jesse Liberty takes a page from his 'Full Stack' project and shares how he and Jon worked out a way to email a stack trace back when something went awry in their application.
Jeff Prosise's latest post is a Silverlight 5 Beta one all about the Threading Architecture... the intruduction of the compositiion thread... if you're a WP7 dev, you'll be familiar with this.
Stay in the 'Light!
