Upcoming Silverlight 2 Webcast Series

I found this by way of Frank LaVigne,and it appears that Lindsay, a DE from near Philadelphia is doing a series of SL2 webcasts during June. Looks like something to put on your schedule!

Silverlight 2 Control Styles

Jesse Liberty snuck a couple videos through on his SLMicroBlog Twitter feed. This one on Control Styles, which if you are not familiar with Styles will be an eye-opener:)

Silverlight 2 Control Templates

The second recent webcast release by Jesse is this one on Control Templates which is a tad more involved than Styles, but as with most things, Jesse has a way of making things become clear.. great detailed information!

Creating a Project from xaml and xaml.cs files

In this blog post, Jesse addresses what to do when you get some xaml and code-behind from someone... always something good to know when you're hanging around blog sites:)... follow Jesse's instructions and you'll be cranking up that code pretty quick... good info Jesse, thanks!

Scrolling with ease

Lee has some interesting animations with scrolling here. He has a live demo and code to download... interesting material as usual, hope everyone is keeping copies of this stuff:)

Mike Taulty reports some enhancements to Streaming and has links out to a couple relevant articles.

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
