In this issue: Boyan Nikolov, Scott Hanselman, Page Brooks, Justin Angel, and John Papa.

If you haven't heard it yet, Mike Ormond has a post: MIX 09 Announced. I hope to see lots of old and new friends in 'Vegas this year!

From:

Boyan Nikolov sent me this MineSweeper post this morning. I didn't have a chance to look at the code before running out the door, but I did quickly lose the game twice:)... it looks like a good start, and since Boyan is providing all the code... I'm just sayin'... thanks Boyan!

The Weekly Source Code 36 - PDC, BabySmash and Silverlight Charting

Scott Hanselman posted about his PDC BabySmash talk, and explains the real-time charting using the Silverlight Toolkit chart controls.

Page Brooks discusses a programmatic way to find a Storyboard in the VSM, since this is not something exposed by the VSM.

Silverlight Toolkit: WrapPanel

Justin Angel attacks the WrapPanel with this tutorial... lots of code and examples of variations.

John Papa has an article in the November MSDN Magazine covering ASMX Web Services, WCF SOAP Services, RESTful Services, LINQ to XML, Cross Domain Policies, and of course Silverlight [why else would I be mentioning it:) ]... that's a lot of material... so don't skip it!

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.
