Jeremy Likness has a post up about the Telerik controls for WP7... not only does Telerik utilize Jeremy's Sterling, but he's joined with Telerik to give away 10 licenses for their tools...


From:

Kunal Chowdhury is continuing his Mango exploration with this tutorial about Application Lifecycle... lots of diagrams and discussion this time.

Kunal Chowdhury continues on with this discussion about Page State... some code and external links to get you started on your way

If you want to get into SharePoint 2010 with Silverlight, Michael Crump has the post you were looking for... links and a great walkthrough... including setting up a VM to host SharePoint 2010

Michael Crump also has 14 (so far) Silverlight 5 Beta demo apps up that you can download individually or all in one gulp. I'm thinking he is going to be updating this page as he adds more, so you might want to bookmark it.

Xpert360's latest 'PivotViewer Short' is up and is on Restyling the ZoomSlider... another item people have asked for.

In this 'Mango From Scratch' post, Jesse Liberty is working through Tile Notifications... lots of explanation and nlots of code... from both sides of the notification (client and server).

Jesse Liberty's latest 'Mango From Scratch' post is a follow-up to the Tile Notifications one, and is on sending Toast Notifications... once again code and links for client and server.

John Papa's latest Silverlight TV is up -- number 76... and he's joined by animation expert Jeff Paries... listen as Jeff talks through the source for his WP7 'Bird Hunt' game

Vikram Pendse has a really good post about what's new in Mango... links, discussion, diagrams...

Michael Washington has some compelling discussion in this post addressing issues commenters have brought up about LightSwitch... he talks about what all you can do with it and has links to examples/help

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.
