Shoutouts:

Jesse Liberty is getting ready to start a big new long-term project... looks like it's going to be a great one to play along with: VideoWiki – A Open-Book Design-To-Delivery Silverlight 3 Project. This is the intro... I'll be blogging the pieces as Jesse posts them.

Jeff Wilcox asks the question... well do ya?

From, and dang... almost like after #MIX09:

Chris Cavanagh posted an article about a wrapper class that implements INotifyPropertyChanged so that it can be used with two-way binding... check it out... all the code is there for the viewing... thanks Chris!

Brownie Points has a good post up on Blend Behaviours.. buncha code and external links and a great example with code:)

The Silverlight Web Services Team has a list of SL3B issues and workarounds posted...

Gavin Wignall posted a game he has entered in the Mashooo contest... a 2-player tank game... looks very cool

Maurice de Beijer has a good article and external links to support his work on MVVM and Silverlight.

Tim Heuer digs into the SL3B Navigation... did you even think of that in terms of OOB? Well.. never fear, Tim did:)... and has a big section on controlling your Navigation history.

Jeff Prosise continues his spin through Silverlight 3 Beta by concentrating on the Assembly caching this time out... good tutorial and code.

Shawn Wildermuth posted a link to this on the Insider's group the other day and I didn't notice the 'redux' part... he's taken the Amy Dullard batch files and modified them to install the right runtime.

Mike Snow gives a quick tip on setting the Default Browser that your Silverlight app will launch into.

Andrej Tozon digs into Behaviours and promises to post some new ones in the future... looks like a good series to track:)

Lee easily demonstrates using the LayoutTransformer to put tab labels on vertically.. very cool!

Al Pascual takes off on an article about serialization of objects to JSON and extrapolates that to sending Silverlight geometry to ArcObjects to store in a geospatial database... dang Al.. do you do any *easy* subjects??:)

Chris Hay wanted to show us all how to get going with style inheritance, so he produced a screencast for it!

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.
