In this Issue: Ian T. Lackey, Brad Abrams(2), Naughton(2, 3), Sergey Barskly, René Schulte, Jobi Joy, and Jafar Husain(2).

Shoutout:

Funny, I was a couple days away from writing Jeff Paries asking if he was ok and yesterday he popped up: We now return to our regularly scheduled program….... he's been updating his book... and that's great news!

If you read blogs like I do sometimes, you may miss some of the goodness on Jesse Liberty's blog yesterday/today... He is turning up the heat on the new Open Source Project with AgOpenSource Moves Forward... and don't miss the link to AgOpenSource. Then to kick it off, his VideoWiki is going to be in there: Video Wiki – Status and Overview, and also a very aggressive (IMHO) AgOpenSource Project Turing with more explanation here: Turing Project: Level 100, 300 AND 400... whew... did I miss anything Jesse?

Gavin Wignall reports on some awesome Home made Wiimote whiteboard demos Silverlightbuzz!


From:

Ian T. Lackey is taking a long look at MVC to Silverlight page mapping to further the SEO of Silverlight apps and is looking for input.

In this episode, Brad Abrams is exposing a WCF Service, then builds a command line program to test it.

In what turns out to be a combined effort, Brad Abrams takes some a solution from Dinesh Chandnani and MEF'd up some dynamic page-loading navigation in Silvelright.

Naughton investigates the DataForm control mappings and gives code examples for doing so.

Naughton revisits the DataForm Control Mapping again, this time investigating Extensibility.

Naughton demonstrates adding a property to DataForm to get more control over the default IValueConverter implementation.

Sergey Barskly has a video and materials available for a presentation he did on Reporting in Silverlight.

René Schulte digs deep into pixel shaders with this one doing edge effects on a classic image. All the source is available, so go make your own!

Jobi Joy discusses behaviors relative to his slider in his last post and discusses how this can be dragged onto any slider in Blend... don't miss the links he has at the bottom either:)

Jafar Husain formally digs into Rx this time with a part 1 of a series and wow does this stuff look good!

Jafar Husain flys in the face of MSDN documentation with part to telling us not to use the event-based asynchronous pattern. He also gives reference to MSDN and explains his opinion.

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.
