From an entirely Twitter-fed list today, posted to:
Holy Crap... if ya wanna get cranking with Lightswitch, you're going to have to run to keep up with my Michael Washington... he's starting a tutorial series now that you're going to want to follow!
Michael Washington also has another post up discussing why in his opinion Lightswitch is "The One"... comments from Paul Patterson... the other Lightswitch guru, in case you hadn't been paying close enough attention:)
Brian Noyes has part 7 of his RIA Services tutorial series up at SilverlightShow... in this one, he's discussing Authenticating and Authorizing Calls in WCF RIA Services... all with source as usual.
Last week, I was sent the DiscountASP.net Silverlight Control Panel... looks like I should have asked, I didn't realize this was in the wild:)... this week Michael Ossou's showing off a WP7 version... go grab it!
Sharker Khaleed Mahmud has a good post up discussing and demonstrating copy & paste with Silverlight. Good discussion of the user experience as well, and all source available.
Mike Taulty has a video tutorial up on Syling Silverlight: explicit and implicit styles, resource collections, Visual Studio, and Expression Blend.
Jeremy Likness has a good post up on loading themes in modular apps, including dynamically loading themes. He poses a query to readers about Cider but gives a Blend solution for all this.
Brad Tutterow has a post up about the back button on WP7 and where to set the user's expectations with your app, plus he has some good external links.
Brad Tutterow also has a post up with some good emulator shortcuts. The PgUp one to get to your hardware keyboard has been going through twitter pretty hard, but he's got more.
András Velvárt has a nice WP7 post up talking about themes and being theme aware... some general discussion then how to be theme-aware in code... good stuff my friend!
Stay in the 'Light!
