Shoutouts:
John Papa is on Deep Fried Bytes:
Jaime Rodriguez has some help up for those that are having problems moving from the CTP to Beta bits: Tips for uninstalling the Windows Phone Developer Tools CTPs and moving to beta
Koen Zwikstra reports an update:... check out the feature list and demo... get started using it.
From:
Jim Jackson's had some of this posted for a while, but I didn't know about it... this first one is MVVMLight and using the BackgroundWorker to push long-running tasks onto a background thread... and he's got all the code included.
In the second post by Jim Jackson, he's got code uploading a large file to SQL Server using WCF and EF... this isn't ready for prime-time (security-wise), but the code is there to play with.
Alex Golesh points out to us what "Tombstoning" is on WP7. We all know we can't run in the background, so what happens when my app is running, and the user rudely decides to run yours?
Dustin Horne has a post up making use of INotifyPropertyChanged and DataBinding to do some clever mouse-positioning capturing... I'm thinking allowing UI customization by users and retaining their information... fun stuff... plus all the code.
Sl.ayer's latest post on Silverlight Security is a good read... and something we should all be aware of.
xprblog has 'not just another' post up about the WP7 Beta bits... they've got a pretty good break-out of the new features.
[Game of] Life in Silverlight 4
Mike James has the game of Life up on Silverlight 4 and a multi-page post about it on his blog... funny when I read the title "Life in Silverlight 4"... I didn't think of the game at first -- oops:)
David Anson has an update to his previous post on smoothly animating orientation changes in WP7 based on the Beta release.
Stay in the 'Light!
