Silverlight 2 Beta 2 Offline Docs (get 'em)

WPFDevCon on the Silverlight SDK blog posted a couple links: one to a downloadable SL2B2 chm file an the other out to the Microsoft site for the same thing. Obviously the chm will go out of date, but it'll be nice to have close-by for a while!

Silverlight Beta 2 Released and what that means for the Testing Framework.

Eric Hexter takes a good look at Beta 2 with regards to testing

Silverlight Roles, Profile and Authentication Example Updated for Silverlight Beta2 Now with VSM

Brad Abrams updated his great article on Roles/Profiles/Authentication and threw VSM into the mix... guess I'll have to read this one...:)

Dan Wahlin posted this mostly-code article and has lnks back to his previous 2 articles about sockets... definitely preferable to understand those first!

What’s new in Deep Zoom Composer!

The Expression Blend Team has a very nice "What's new in DeepZoom Composer" post with a nice explanation of the process and files involved..

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
