[A note from Dave]

It's still March, it's only 23 days since MIX began and as of this moment, there are 77 Silverlight 2-tagged links in the database! That's over 10% of the total in just over 3 weeks. mentioned "March Madness"... amen to that my friend!

This is a first post for today, there will be at least 2.

From:

Live Messenger - Login Screen UI

Jose Fajardo produces an outstanding login UI for his Messenger app, and instead of showing how he did it, he's going to produce a video to be uploaded later... so go gaze upon it and stay tuned for the video:)

Silverlight DrumPad

Jeff Paries uploaded a very cool-looking Silverlight DrumPad... guess I missed that in 1.0:(... I've been told that there's sound, but I haven't heard it, so that's something I have to figure out when I get home tonight! Note: this IS a SL2 program and I found out I CAN hear the sounds at work... go figure all the things I can't do there... lol... so that means I've got an issue with my home PC for sure! 

Get Started Programming With Silverlight 2

Jesse Liberty re-visits the "How do we get started" question

WPF, Silverlight, etc

Lee sent me this link... I have not had time to open anything, but it looks like it might be a good blog to watch. He has lots of code to download, but no demos of what you're getting... so you're on your own:)

Michael Sync turns the keyboard over to Brad McKelvie for a great article on Uploading with SL2 and WCF.

The Start of a Game Helper Class Library

Bill Reiss continues his SL Games development blogging with the beginnings of a game helper class library. As I've said before, this definitely looks like something to follow... thanks Bill!

Mike Taulty posted this yesterday but then thought he should post a today just in case anyone would think it might be a grand idea to use his idea to let everyone in the world access their client application... now who would actually do that?.. *lol*... great comment, Mike!

Stay in the 'Light!
