From:
Michael Wolf takes you through a very thorough OOB write-up, finishing off with comparing to AIR and even a "Why Use It" discussion.
Brad Abrams is back on-track numerically with this post and steps away from EF to integrate with POCO as a data source.
Tim Heuer finally caved in and put his FloatableWindow project up on CodePlex... I'm thinking we're all just going to be using it... put it in the Toolkit:)
Adding a Resource Dictionary is nowhere near as scary as it used to be, read Nigel Sampson's quick post on using them. Pay attention to what he has listed as "Important" or you're going to be making phone calls late at night.
See Timmy Kokke give you a quick-and-dirty on reading/writing local files. Of course they are user-initiated!
Christian Schormann has a post up showing the history of SketchFlow and how we got here from there... very cool article, Christian!
Stay in the 'Light!
