Silverlight Cream for April 20, 2009 -- #575

April 20, 2009 · 1 min read

In this Issue: Al Pascual, Alex Knight, Jose Fajardo, and Chris Hay.

Shoutout:

Just in case you've been asleep for a while, Bill Reiss has been working on "a community dedicated to free online games built on the Silverlight platform". Check it out: SilverArcade... I just saw a tweet that it is officially launching later this week, so they're calling this a 'pre-launch'... it looks great, Bill!

Also... I forgot to mention this yesterday, but I made some intrusive changes under the covers on SilverlightCream.com (no I didn't fix the pagin on the Skim pages yet). Other than some cosmetic changes, what I've done isn't visible, however if you see something not working correctly please let me know!

From:

Al Pascual discusses Timers and multiple threads in his latest Silverlight 2 article, and has some good advice for those that use them.

Alex Knight posted this easing tutorial in Blend on his SilverZine site, and does the ol' Rolling Gear effect... wow, I remember that:)... only his works very nice.

Jose Fajardo takes a hard look at OOB and doesn't come away impressed... read his post to find out why.

Chris Hay continues with his 'video blogging'... this presentation is about multiple HTTP Requests and how Silverlight still has to live inside a browser.

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.
