From:

Alex Knight posted this on Twitter just as I was getting ready to fire off this 'Cream post... another great Design post from him... this one out in Expression Design and working with Vectors... great:)

Radenko Zec has a sample chat application up on Codeplex that uses Polling Duplex with Unity IOC... good code explanation, thanks Radenko!

Peter Bromberg digs into ASP.NET membership in Silverlight via a WCF WebService. Very cool, Peter... and all the code!

Page Brooks has updated the Stars control from SilverlightContrib... buncha work there Page and it looks great:)

Pete Blois has a very cool tool up called Rooler. Read this post and then go to the Rooler site to read more about the tool and of course download it!

Frank La Vigne has a couple posts up on acquiring graphics for use in our WPF and Silverlight projects. In this first one, he's talking about Wikipedia as a source. He also discusses a plugin by Michael Swanson to go from AI to XAML... all good stuff!

Franks La Vigne's second one in this sequence is about pulling artwork from Office Clipart...

Stay in the 'Light!

  • 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.
