From SilverlightCream.com:

Developing real-world applications with LightSwitch - Part 4: To query or to code, that is the question!: Gill Cleeren has Part 4 of his LightSwitch series up at SilverlightShow... actually demonstrating writing some code (gasp!) this time out.
Windows Phone 7.1 SDK is Alarming: Shawn Wildermuth grabs a headline with this one where he's talking about Alarms in WP7.1 which he relates is one of the features that helps avoid having background processing agents.
Windows Phone MVVM Master - Details Navigation in 5 minutes: WindowsPhoneGeek is talking about WP7 navigation... forget the Rx one he did before... this is a stripped-down get 'er done version.
Windows Phone 7 Navigation: Erno de Weerd's latest tech post is this one on WP7 Navigation also, exposing a Navigator class he wrote that stores pages and arguments in a dictionary for use when you need it. He also has a few things he's looking for assistance with if you know the answers!
GZIP Compressed Web Requests in WP7 - Take 2: Morten Nielsen's revisiting GZIP Compressed web Requests after a couple iterations of the WP7.1 code, making using a socket no longer necessary, and he streamlined a fork of the DotNetZip library to make this be tighter.
Part 3 - Windows Phone 7 SizeChanged and OreintationChanged Events: Sumit Dutta's part 3 in his Windows Phone 7 series is about reacting to orientation and size change events... good examples and code
