March 28, 2008 · 2 min read

Jose Fajardo continues with Login UI for Messenger, Jeff Paries with very cool DrumPad, Jesse Liberty attacks "Getting Started", LeeOnTech blog is open with source, Brad McKelvie on uploading with SL2 and WCF, Bill Reiss with a Game Helper Class Library, and Mike Taulty on talking to a local WCF service.

[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!

  • 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.
