Shoutouts:

Chris Cavanagh has converted his Soft Body Physics Demo to WP7: JelloPhone for Windows Phone 7

Joe Healy has his list of... I might add a couple more links to item 5, but I'm prejudiced:)

If you're in the mood for purchasing a WP7 Toolkit for building apps, you may want to look into Resco Announces Resco MobileLight Toolkit


Currently culling entries from 568 bloggers -- are you on my list?

From:

René Schulte has his new article for Coding4Fun up and it's a WP7 Phone Picture Effects app. This first post covers the basic app and some basic effects and discusses the direction he's going with the app.

Haruhiro Isowa has a tutorial up at CodeProject with the assistance of Michael Washington which displays a simpler alternative to MVVM / VM style PopUps. behaviors are easier to be used by designers and this one does not need any code for basic use.

Jesse Liberty has the first real tutorial of his WP7 series up, and he's aggregating a list of data, and browsing to a details page when one is selected. MVVM and ViewModel-friendly, all code, all good!

Jeremy Likness has a post up describing how to 'share' commands in Silverlight, or if you are a WPF'er... global commands. Jeremy is doing this via MEF.

Shawn Wildermuth gives you a step-by-step of consuming OData on WP7... good stuff.

If you didn't see Evan Hutnick's Silverlight series on the Telerik blog, no worries... he's updating it to Silverlight 4 and the other goodness. This first is a setup, but would be good to start watching for the others.

As you might expect, recording sound on WP7 involves a bit of XNA, but Don Burne has a post up showing how... now you can proceed with the app that plays back weird sounds... or maybe something more useful:)

Mark Tucker has a VS2010 project template for Caliburn.Micro (WP7), and a short post showing getting a project started with it... too cool.

On Ali Tinwala has a solution for all of us without devices, which as near as I can figure out is well, almost everyone!... he's got a GPS Simulator up so you can just have at it with your new best-seller using GPS on WP7

Derik Whittaker has instructions for getting the Silverlight Toolkit into a usable form for WP7.

Mark Arteaga has a great-looking WP7 app up at CodePlex called VanGuide. The screenshots look great, so grab the code and give it a dance!

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.
