Shoutouts:

Silverzine announced a contest to get an MSDN subscription: Competition Time!!!!

Michael Washington and a crew of other folks have another giveaway going:

SilverlightCream has a wp7dev page up that just lists the wp7dev posts tagged:... this is the same as searching for wp7dev, but you can just save the link... you probably won't need this in a couple weeks, but here it is!

Erik Mork and Crew with some old guy as a guest have the latest up: This Week In Silverlight – Windows Phone tools in Beta -- thanks guys, that was fun!

Siaqodb announced Siaqodb 2.0 released

Dimaz Pramudya and his crew were winner of the Melbourne WP7 Bizspark Camp with Fuel My Car - Windows Phone 7 App


From:

jbaird is working on some WP7 games and needs some gestures. He started with the ones in the Training Kit, and is sharing what he has for Tap and Double Tap.

Sl.ayer has a cool control library available for download free for your non-commercial use... it looks great.

Sl.ayer follows up with a tutorial using the TipBubble control included in the Comic Bubble control.

Yochay Kiriaty finishes off his 3-part series on WP7 with one on transient states and page data that you have to read, print out, laminate:)

René Schulte shows us how to use the PhotoChooserTask to pull photos from the WP7 picture library, but also shows how to stuff them in there!

Stay in the 'Light!

  • 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.
