From:

Mike Hodnick has produced a Silverlight sound-generation library and has it on codeplex... pretty cool stuff.

Jeremy Likness was on geekSpeak discussing the Silverlight UnitTesting Framework, and the video is posted.

Jeremy Likness has a great post up on busting myths about Silverlight... great points... and thanks for the shoutout:)

Jeremy Likness contends that if you're simply looking for module loading and view management, MEF is your choice, then goes to defend his position

Bobby Diaz discussing BingMap binding issues, but he came up with a work-around that he's posted and is asking for input.

Jianqiang Bao has a summary of the first 6 tutorials and merges the code to implement the sprite animation 'perfectly'... check out the code and demo! I don't generally like to post more than a couple posts by someone in any one day, but at the rate he is posting these, I'll get overrun fast if I don't!

Jianqiang Bao's 8th episode in the series is introducing the map engine.

Jianqiang Bao's 9th episode is discussing animating the object to go through the map. In previous posts, I used the word sprite where Jing used spirit... I'm hoping that was right:)

Jianqiang Bao's 10th episode is back to discussing the map again and merging with the A* algorithm, and some adjustment of placement of the spirit.

Jianqiang Bao's 11th episode get's real with the map by introducing the map mask, and a quick intro to the Painter Algorithm.

Chris Klug discusses the conditions under which you can use Com Interop with Silverlight 4B, then continues on with a discussion/demo of doing so to talk to Outlook.

Nokola has 10, count them, 10 new PixelShaders in EasyPainter... geez... not only that, but he's decreased the codebase size and wants to get it smaller.

Peter Bromberg takes a long-running forum post to his blog and talks about synchronous web requests and Silverlight, then gives a couple emulated examples

Nigel Sampson has a post up on Silverlight 4 and Behaviors and setting bindings on DependencyObjects

Shawn Wildermuth talks about JQuery and WCF Data Services and I thought it was interesting enough to include here.

Kirupa has a tutorial up on the Expression Web and Design blog showing how to switch visual states using the GoToStateAction behavior

Stay in the 'Light!
