Shoutouts:
If you're in the UK, Mike Ormond announced a new set of WP7 Workshops: New Windows Phone 7 Workshops
I met Gregor Biswanger at the MVP Summit and got him to send me a link to his blog, and have highlighted some of his work already, but now he's got a "WPF 4 and Silverlight 4" DVD that's been signed by a bunch of notables and he is auctioning it off on eBay to Support German Cancer Aid... read on his blog...WPF 4 and Silverlight 4 against cancer... German on top, English below!
From:
Ollie Riches' latest post is about WP7 and communications with web services using WP7Contrib via RESful communication using HttpWebRequest and Rx extensions
Looks like I've been missing some goodness on Damon Payne's site... Stepping back one from the latest, he's published the binaries for his project.
Damon Payne's latest is in response to discussion on Twitter... how do you keep your Silverlight UI from reflecting databinding changes until you're all done and ready?
Jesse Liberty and Jon's latest 'Full Stack' podcast is up and they're digging into MVVM and TDD on the Phone this time out.
Jesse Liberty's latest is the Game of Life on WP7 -- he built it in an hour... lots of code and information on the 'game' in case you want to play along
John Papa Has Silverlight TV number 66 up and he's interviewing the one and only Shawn Wildermuth, and discussing Shawn's Phoney Tools... great stuff, Shawn!
Shawn Wildermuth then announced that Phoney Tools is now in Beta... Check out the screenshots and descriptions, then go grab the source at codeplex.
Beth Massi interviewed a couple Lightswitch Team members as they walk her through a real-world Lightswitch appklication... don't miss her announcement of either!
If you've noticed ads being chopped off on WP7, you might be concerned if they're yours!... Michael Crump shows how to fix that.
Mike Taulty is back with some more "Blend Bits"... this next one (# 26) is clever... use a Windows 7 library to add the location for typical assemblies you use in Blend, making it easy to find them rather than ratting all over your hard disk looking for them.
In his latest "Blend Bits" (# 27), Mike Taulty is building a flip panel... nice-looking flip, and all the code, and write-up about it as well
Jorge Peraza has a post up that is the beginning of a series of WP7 posts... starting with the Phone Browser... some good links, and good examples.
Peter Kuhn updates a prior post on Image Uploading to SQL Server with Silverlight in this post. He's using the ImageTools project on CodePlex to get around the file size problem when the image hits the database.
Peter Kuhn's latest post is discussing Google's AdMob beta SDK, since this is important to WP7 devs outside the US, Peter dig into it, and has a walkthrough of implementing it, and issues he had.
Stay in the 'Light!
