Lightswitch:"HTML (including HTML 5) and LightSwitch at the same time?"
Michael Washington

From:

In his first post-MVP11 post, Michael Washington takes on HTML5 with a Lightswitch discussion. Good discussion follows in the comments also.

Michael Washington's 2nd post is a great tutorial on creating a re-usable business layer with Lightswitch... all good stuff, and look for more from Michael as Lightswitch matures.

goldytech has a new post up about providing real-time solutions to client-side calculations with WCF RIA services.

JFo details a problem he had with the Panorama control on WP7... detailing 4 problems she had and her solutions... well thought-out explanations too.. a definite good read... and another blogger to add to my list!

Andrea Boschin has part 7 of his WP7 series up at SilverlightShow, concentrating on Push Notifications this time out... great explanation of push notifications in this tutorial from the service and phone side with a working sample to boot.

Jonathan Marbutt took a completely different direction than most and created his own Bindable CheckboxList by starting with ContentControl rather than a Listbox as most do... pretty cool and all the source.

I met Gregor Biswanger at the MVP Summit and asked him to send me his blog run through Microsoft Translator... here's a great post on routed events he did back in November... and a discussion of his CallMethodAction Behavior... which looks like another good post subject!

Michael Wolf has a post up discussing OOB splash screens... I like his "White screen of Awesome" definition... I'm very familiar with that:)... check out his solution for getting around that white screen, and lots of external links too.

Peter Kuhn has Part 5 in his tutorial series on XNA for Silverlight devs up at SilverlightShow... this time covering touch and gestures... how to enable and read gestures, and the difference between Silverlight and XNA in the touch department.

Stay in the 'Light!

    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.
