From:

Gill Cleeren has a new post up at SilverlightShow about Silverlight and Webservices, and in particular RESTful services... good info about services in general leading up to the main event.

Peter Kuhn describes the elusive yet simple act of registering a WP7 device for development.

Erik Mork and Co. have their latest Podcast up and are talking about the upcoming Firestarter and their Portland->Redmond wifi-equipped busride... too cool, guys!

Falling into the not necessarily Silverlight category is Jesse Liberty's latest "Yet Another Podcast" interviewing Ian Griffiths... all good subjects and information though... check it out!

Kirupa Chinnathambi waxes poetic on the Pivot Control on WP7... beginning with a video demo then moving into how to use it via Blend.

Michael Crump has part 1 of a 4-parter up that is a series of entries that answer 3 questions: 1) What is it? 2) Why do I care? and 3) How do I do it?... good stuff, even if you've been at this a while.

Brad Tutterow shows how to implement your icons so they pick up the WP7 theme like the default ones do.

Jay Kimble has a two-parter up on Service Call Guidance and Asynchronous callbackmethods... a bit of a rant followed by guidance... sorta like the stick and carrot:)

In the 2nd post, Jay Kimble is showing how to implement Asynchronous calls from our existing Synchronous calls.

Rob Tiffany is talking about Network Awareness and WP7 and jumps right into a tutorial on how to deal with the situaion, and builds out a nice little app in the process.

Stay in the 'Light!
