Shoutouts:

Steve Strong details a positive experience: Learning RIA Services: It's Great to be a Silverlight Developer

Nikhil Kothari gives a 'Twitter Pitch' for.NET RIA Services:

Shawn Wildermuth is on DNR TV with Carl Franklin: See Carl and I Talk about Behaviors on DNR-TV!

Walt Ritscher has a good article up at Dev 102:

From:

Danijel Stulic expands on his previous migration to Silverlight 3 post only this time he's talking about things that are no code.

Not much to say about this from Corey Schuman... just a quick little piece of code to drop into your toolbox for converting Hex strings to a color in Silverlight

Erik Mork has his latest Development Guide up and this one is on Silverlight and MEF. If you want a quick-start on MEF, this is probably it as Erik talks with Glenn Block.

Chris Klug waxes poetic about MVVM and then discusses data bindings because of their obvious importance in MVVM. Stay tuned for more in his MVVM discussion.

Evgeny tackles some of the less-obvious parts of serving up data with Blend. I don't know how many parts he plans on doing, but he's calling this one on drag-and-drop Part 1... good reading.

Brad Abrams changes this time and uses in-memory data so you don't really need.NET RIA Services this time around.

René Schulte has been doing some great image work with Silverlight and decided to compare speeds between WriteableBitmap and the contenders in the PNG generation genre.

Kevin Dockx had to modify his demo code to bring it up to use the latest.NET RIA Services and Silverlight 3. He's detailing the changes he had to make.

Alexey Zakharov uses SubSonic ORM to lash up with POCO objects and I can guarantee that's the first time I've seen that:) Along the way he gives a good intro to SubSonic.

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.
