CigDem reports Experience Silverlight in Eclipse

Robby Ingebretsen is spending a lot of time at MIX09 speaking and says


From:

Dean Chalk submitted a couple links, and I've added him to my watch list. This first one is a 'how-to' on a 'loading' Icon all done up in XAML and ready to roll!

Dean's second submittal is about Expression Blend as well as Silverlight. Although there's not visible Blend in the post, that's not the point... thanks, Dean!

Alex Golesh somehow snuck this one past me the other day, and I've been watching Silverlight and Azure postings. This is part 2 of a Cloud-enabled Silverlight app. Unfortunately you have to have a token to run it, but Alex has links to where to go for that:)

Alex also has part 3 of the series up... great Tutorials, Alex, Thanks!

Nigel Sampson give us a caution on refactoring namespaces in Silverlight... you might refactor yourself out of execution in the process:)

Hyper-video videos posted

Jesse Liberty continues with his HyperVideo series by reporting that the first two instructional videos are up... go get 'em!

The Header Content Control

Jesse also somehow found time to post a great tutorial about the HeaderContentControl in the Toolkit. Don't skip this... Jesse has some cool Expression Blend synergy with the control.. check it out!

Stay in the 'Light!

  • We Won The One Award I Actually Care About

    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.
