From:

Kirupa Chinnathambi has a post up talking about how to get the right keyboard up for the type of data you're expecting your users to enter.

Sergey Barskiy is starting a series on Unit Testing your Silverlight apps. This first one gives links out to what he's using and sets up the project.

Jesse Liberty gets back to the basics with Delegates and events in his latest post... looks like a good one to keep track of if you're just getting started.

Jesse Liberty has part 4 of his series on Templates and DataValidation up... this one is a cool re-template of a control to get some extra functionality.

Shawn Wildermuth bemoans the loss of the page transitions in the WP7 Beta, and then proceeds to produce his own... and gives us the code!

Djonatas Tenfen has a nice tutorial up mashing up BingMaps and real-time status of US airports... and includes all the source.

Yochay Kiriaty has a 2-parter up discussing the new features available in the WP7 Beta... this one covers Application Launching, Application Closing, and Application Deactivated.

This is the 2nd part of Yochay Kiriaty's post describing the new functionality available to us in the WP7 Beta drop, and this one covers Application Activated`

Jason Zander is using Paint.Net to create transparent WP7 Splash screen images, but of course you can use the tool of your choice:)

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.
