From:
Loek van den Ouweland has a post with demo project about using the background thread on WP7 to avoid freeze-ups... he even has an example of the freeze up issue to demo.
Andrea Boschin has the first post of a series on WP7 development up at SilverlighShow... should be good!... this first is an intro... lots of background info with links, registering a phone, and in general making sure everyone is at a level-set to get going.
Jeff Prosise has Part 3 of his Touch Interfaces for WP7 series up. This time it's manipulation events... he starts off with an intro and then goes deeper... grab the source if you wanna play with the demos.
Jeff Brand has a post up about Dependency Injection with XAML... he's got a CHannel 9 video and the post, plus the source.
Frank LaVigne posted links to six free Entity Framework 4 Videos from Pluralsight -- by Julie Lerman!... follow Frank's directions and check out the Walkthrough, then watch 'em all!
WindowsPhoneGeek is on a roll with this great tutorial of turning a CheckBox into a ToggleSwitch for WP7... can you spell VSM?... great tutorial as has been his custom!... and lots of external links on this one too.
Jesse Liberty joins up with Ian Griffiths again for this number 20 in his Yet Another Podcast series... listen as they discuss C#, Async, and more.
Jeremy Likness has another part of his Jounce series posted... discussing VSM and transitions... check out the demo at the top of the post for a right-out-of-the-box solution.
Haruhiro Isowa returns with an improvement on his HisowaModPopupBehavior allowing you to make your own popup, use your own data holder class, the popup is no longer reused, and is extendible with more parameters.
Stay in the 'Light!
