Silverlight Cream for June 15, 2009 -- #614

In this Issue: Jesse Liberty, Alex Knight, Terence Tsang, Gavin Wignall, Laurent Bugnion, Michael Sync, Mike Taulty(2, 3, 4, 5, 6), and Jordan Knight.

Shoutout:

Rob Eisenberg has announced that he released Caliburn v1 Release Candidate... this is definitely worth a look, he's been fine tuning it for a while.

Michael S. Scherotter has announced the New York Times Silverlight Kit version 1.0.7 Released


Well, I didn't do two yesterday and chances of doing a second today are probably slim, so I just piled them all on here:)

From:

While not necessarily Silverlight, Jesse Liberty responds to a common query on his blog, and is one similar to some I've done. Essentially, if you're a self-starter, you're driving the bus so you haven't missed it! If you're not... then find the resources because there are plenty as Jesse points out... [and thanks for the shout-out!]

Alex Knight explores some custom loading and splash animations... and in xaml-only... very cool stuff, and pay close attention to his notes inset on the page... lots of good info in those!

Terence Tsang has been silent for a bit, but has returned with a venture to sell the code for this Photo Explorer. Try the demo page... it works very nice.

Gavin Wignall has a unique carousel up using the 3D Projection of Silverlight 3B, and I can see his apps now:)... I like how he says "As always you can grab the code source here"...

Laurent Bugnion has been working on his MVVM 'Light' for a while and has the WPF version ready for prime time. Silverlight will follow in a couple days... give it a dance and see what you think!

Michael Sync is working on an MVVM Toolkit for Silverlight and has some early bits to show, discussion and where he's headed, and asking for features we'd like plus collaboration if you want.

Mike Taulty took off in a hurry or else waited to dump all these on us.. he has a series of 6 parts on building a complete application using Silverlight 3B, WPF, and not to forget good ol'.NET! Part 2:, Part 3:, Part 4:, Part 5:, and Part 6:... wow:)

The Knight brothers hit two spots today:) Jordan Knight has a very cool image demo that splits an image of your choice up into tiles and then puts them into a 3D space view... interesting, and I wasn't sure all the soldiers and all the men would put it back together, but hey... it did:)

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.
