Shoutouts:
With all the phones out there right now, how about a review of one from a WP7 author: Review of my Windows Phone 7 (HTC HD7)
Bill Reiss has a post up about his Popper 2 for Windows Phone 7 now in the Marketplace
From:
Michael Washington has a great tutorial up about what he's calling a 'Super Tabs Interface'.. creating tabs of different types in the same control using behaviors.
Fons Sonnemans has a post up resolving the WP7 issue of not showing styled textblocks of the selected listboxitem using the accent color... and of course he has a workaround posted.
Jeff Wilcox has a very cool smoothly fading background Panorama for WP7... check out the video, and you'll be downloading the code.
Alfred Astort adds on to his top 10 list of things to check when you think your app is done with these two gems... the first is a personal favorite of mine... hide the buttons when the keyboard is displayed... or rather DON'T hide them!
Den Delimarsky is discussing pulling data from a continuous stream in WP7... like a streamed audio feed for instance... but watch your data plan!
Den Delimarsky also has a post up about image cropping on WP7 using the PhotoChooserTask... this post is an intro to a 2-part guide on creating an app that does image cropping using custom code. Source is also available.
Peter Bromberg has a post up describing a small test app he put together using Jeremey Likness' Sterling database for Silverlight and WP7
This is seriously cool... to add to his other WP7 exploits, Sigurd Snørteland has converted a 'normal' Tetris game to WP7 and the source is with the post.
Continuing with Xpert360's PivotViewer series, this is number 4 from when PDC was cranking up, and they did a PDC10 agenda collection... they say it's getting easier... and the source is available... and it's been updated to have links to the online session content.
Xpert360's 5th PivotViewer post is all about 'branding' the control, or skinning it... great tutorial starting with where to get the control, out to finished product.
This post catches me up with Xpert360's PivotViewer series, and is a continuation and completion of the previous on skinning the control.
Stay in the 'Light!
