Shoutouts:

Michael S. Scherotter reports: Deep Discounts on Microsoft Expression until January 31, and shows off some of his great Silverlight.

Tim Heuer blogged about Scott Cate's new venture:... looks great, Scott!

This was supposed to go out on the 20th, but I had some problems posting to GWB. Consequently, the APress eBook deal of the day for Pro Silverlight 2 in C# 2008 is over. Hopefully anyone that wanted it saw me post it to SilverlightNews on Twitter. You should definitely keep an eye on their page: What is the eBook Deal Of The Day?

From:

Tiago Andrade e Silva has been exchanging email with me about this... good article with code, and all about the Expresion Encoder templates... good job Tiago!

I don't remember where I came across John Bruin, but he listed his next one which I'll post tomorrow because I wanted to list his MIX 10K game entry:)... and yes it's addicting too... and looks like lots of you have seen it already... someone should have told me:)

Silverlight BrowserInfo and ASP.NET ServerVariables Viewer

Tim Greenfield sent me this link to a very cool tool that cracks into the Silverlight BrowserInfo and other items you might like to know about. He also has it hosted in Azure so you can take a peek at that... cool stuff, Tim, Thanks!

Jeff Wilcox discusses some of the processes used in the Toolkit development, and also includes sample code extending the AutoComplete box.

Using Silverlight Toolkit WrapPanel in your Listbox

Michael S. Scherotter set out to do something seemingly complex and found out it was pretty simple to stuff a WrapPanel into a ListBox... check it out!

Silverlight VS Flash: Snake Snacks Game

Terence Tsang posts his 2nd game of his series. This one the famous, or is it infamous, Snake Snacks game. He has all the code here as usual, and the game is fairly amusing to play because I kept thinking I can do better:)

Stay in the 'Light!

  • 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.

    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.
