In this Issue: Davide Zordan, Alex van Beek, Michael Washington, Jag Reehal, Gill Cleeren, Rob Eisenberg, and Laurent Bugnion.

Shoutouts:

András Velvárt has a video of an awesome demo of his MIX10 Zoomery app running on WP7: Windows Phone 7 - Mix App

John Papa posted all this material from the Tamp Silverlight User Group meeting:

It wasn't clear from his email, but Rudi Grobler's looks like something on-going, so you may want to bookmark that page and check back... there's some good stuff going on there already.

From:

Davide Zordan has posted about his CodePlex project that Laurent referenced in his post. This is a good place to bookmark as a reference for multi-touch behaviors.

Alex van Beek compares Flex4 and Silverlight 4 in the controls skinning department... which is best?... read his post to find out what Alex thinks.

Michael Washington has a nice tutorial up on communication between Master and Child ViewModels. Lots of Blend goodness going on in the tutorial... and all the source.

Jag Reehal has a post up that responds to a question I hear a lot about converting a SketchFlow prototype to "the real app"... We've all seen the article on doing so, but should we? Jag says no... read why

Gill Cleeren has part 1 of a two parter at SilverlightShow on Duplex Communication. Nice tutorial describing where and why you want this, then a possible implementation, plus the code.

Rob Eisenberg took some requests and a personal challenge and squashed Caliburn down to Caliburn.Micro and still retaining all the goodness. Check out the post then check out the code - thanks Rob!

Laurent Bugnion posted a couple videos on his site detailing a WP7 multi-touch behavior he's been working on, and how to use it. Everything will be on CodePlex shortly (maybe now).

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.
