From:

Colin Eberhardt has another great post up... an attached behavior for 'fluid list animation' in WP7 -- i.e. the slide effect we see on native WP7 apps when moving a list into view from one list to another.... example of use and downloadable code.

XamlNinja has another WP7 Contrib post up... discussing updates to the page transitions in WP7 Contrib... good explanation, and links to the CodePlex site.

Andrea Boschin has part 8 of his WP7 tutorial series up at SilverlightShow. This week's tutorial is on using the WP7 sensors... Accelerometer and GPS, and source code for the seismometer project he built.

Now that Lightswitch has a Go-Live license, Michael Washington is going to be pumping the posts... in this one, he's building an End-to-End Lightswitch example of an Online Ordering system.... great tutorial that will take about an hour to duplicate... and wow... what you end up with!

Alex Knight posted a free "7 Metro" Silverlight 4 theme.... check out the video or demo page, and then grab the bits... you know you wanna!

WindowsPhoneGeek's latest is all about customizing the WP7 slider. Lots of blend and xaml goodness, and some cool looking sliders too!

Jesse Liberty rolls in to 'Windows Phone from Scratch #46' by putting an application bar onto the 'Game of Life' he did the other day that allows the user to alter the speed... and as usual, he makes it easy!

Jesse Liberty's latest in the 'From Scratch' series is #47 and is on the SelectMany LINQ operator, as usual, good info on the subject, with all the code goodness we like:)

Catching up with Damon Payne is this post from February on his port of the Task Parallel Library to Silverlight 4... including his reasons for doing so, and then a follow-up Drop of

Stay in the 'Light!

  • We Won The One Award I Actually Care About

    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.
