Silverlight Cream for December 23, 2008 -- #465

In this issue: Damon Payne, Bryant Likes, Expression Blend and Design BLog, Jesse Liberty, and Kevin Dockx.

Shoutouts, and almost as many of these as Silverlight posts:

This isn't Silverlight, but the Shoutouts aren't necessarily:)... Bill Reiss announed that... very cool, Bill!

Joe Stegman has an Update on Silverlight and Opera from yesterday's post... if you're using Opera and Sivlerlight, give this a read.

Jeff Paries has entered the MIX 10K Challenge Entry... check it out... he's only at 3/4 of the size!

Terence Tsang has one last Merry Christmas - Flash Christmas Ecard for the season.


From:

Run time is design time for AGT [5]

This is Damon Payne's 6th installation on this long series, and notice Damon's name is spelled correctly:)

Switching XAP Files on the Client Side

Bryant Likes responds to a forum post and has an article up on switching XAP files on the client side.

Holiday Savings – Add Expression Blend 2 to Your Design Tool Set

As if getting the Expression Suite for 50% off isn't enough, the Expression Blend and Design Blog has advertised smoking upgrade prices on invidual packages... and they're being very lenient with what you can upgrade from!

Application Set: Templates & Custom Controls

Since what I do with Silverlight Cream is link blog other people's work, I hate to generally mention another link set, but Jesse Liberty has his latest work laid out so nicely I couldn't pass it up... yikes, what a bunch of effort, and learning there... go get it!

Kevin Dockx shows us how to set the labels on the axes of a Chart... the trick is finding which property:)

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
