From:

Foundation Silverlight 2 Animation

Jeff Paries wrote that his book is out... how cool is that?? If all the videos he and Rob Houweling have posted aren't enough incentive for you, he has a chapter available to be read: Foundation Silverlight 2 Animation... and this is Simulating 3D in 2D... fun stuff:)... awesome job, Jeff!

Another one on repacking XAPs to reduce filesize

Not only did Rob Houweling write 'another' article on repacking XAP files, but he wrote a tool to do so, and explains how to link it into VS2008... very nice, Rob!

PDC 2008 - Silverlight 2 Wrap-Up

Bart Czernicki did a very nice job of posting a Silverlight wrap-up of PDC... information and links out to everything... like a one-stop-shop.

Jeff Wilcox shows how to get your system to recognize XAP as ZIP... but check out the comments also! Jeff also has a great article on

Dan Wahlin follows up his Styling article with this one on templates... not difficult to understand... check it out!

Silverlight 2 Custom Stock Charts With Silverlight Toolkit

Peter Bromberg took on the stock market as a way to investigate the Charting controls in the Toolkit... came out very nice... and he supplies all the code, which is very nice too:)

Gerard Leblanc follows up his last menu post with this one animating the menus... they didn't animate for me the first time, so I was confused:)... I went back to the previous, and then forward to this one and voila... there they are, and they expand out diagonally... pretty cool actually!

My First Silverlight 2.0 Application Deployment Rodeo

Dave Burke had problems deploying his Silverlight 2 app, and is sharing his troubles and solution with everyone... worth a look so that when you get bit, you'll know the answer. Hint... it has to do with Web Services.

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
