Christian Schormann reports that there is a First Book on SketchFlow: A Chapter Available for Download. And the blog he points to looks good as well.

Corey Schuman announced his... very cool Corey, congratulations!


From:

Pete Brown has a detailed post up on sharing entity classes if you're not using.NET RIA Services and 'rolling it yourself'. Lots of comments and responses too.

If you're having trouble with WCF Binary encoding or haven't looked at it yet, Pete Brown has a quick post up with code commented with helpful hints for the rest of us.

Pete Brown proposes a way to keep everyone from hitting your WCF service... looks like I've got some coding to do this weekend:)... thanks Pete!

SmartyP has a great Silverlight 3 example up that uses the WriteableBitmap. On this dual quad-core machine it works great... wonder what it will do on my old XP box:)

A final overview of Sketchflow post by Kirupa at Expression Blend and Design Blog, and once again a bunch of external links to use.

With some external references, Corey Schuman shows success in posting some Silverlight content to his blog using Windows Live Writer.

Andrej Tozon has some great examples of the easing functions up on his 'deck'.

In this post from Andrej Tozon he gives a few good examples of the use of the WriteableBitmap feature of Silverlight 3.

No matter how many fonts are included in the core Silverlight delivery, you're always going to want something else. Jeff Blankenburg shows how to accomplish that in this post.

Want to get beyond the basics and know what keys your user's are pressing? This post by Jeff Blankenburg shows exactly how to do that.

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.
