Shoutouts:
Normally you wouldn't see me listing something like this, but hey, it's on Silverlight.net:... 2nd paragraph from the bottom
From:
Kevin Hoffman has the 5th in his WP7 programming tutorial series up... discussing first iOS capabilities then jumps right into Bing Maps on WP7
Kunal Chowdhury has a couple posts up from the weekend... this one is a great cheat-sheet for Expression Blend 4 shortcut keys... gonna put that on the sidebar at WynApse.com for quick-reference.
Kunal Chowdhury's latest post is on Creating a custom control in Silverlight... once he got into building one and got beyond the 'smoke and mirrors' part, he thought he'd share that knowledge with us.
Colin Eberhardt has part 3 of the series he's doing on 'Metro in Motion'... and he's taking a look at the fly-out/fly-in effect seen in many native apps, for instance in the email app.
Rudi Grobler's latest is about a circumstance where Textbox.TextChanged event was firing twice for each key pressed... and wait until you see the reason why!
Continuing with his series of awesome Lightswitch tutorials, Michael Washington has this one on displaying information about the currently logged in user... not data from a table as you would normally expect with Lightswitch.
WindowsPhoneGeek has part 3 of his series on WP7 Custom Themes up... this time out is a list (with explanation) of best practices to follow when implementing a custom theme... jam-packed with external links.
Nigel Sampson has a post up on the WP7 Notification Control... something like Toast... he mentions the Coding4Fun Toolkit one, but still decided to do his own and share with us.
A couple from Jeff Prosise... the first 2 in a series he's doing on Tombstoning... He's going to take all the pieces in the order you need them and explain tombstoning in detail... first up is to get an app together that will then be used throughout the series.. a cool app in itself, and then he gets right into forcing it into tombstoning
The next step in Jeff Prosise's Tombstoning series is the first in really attacking the tombstoning issue... begin by adding an OnNavigatedFrom override to save state before tombstoning, and modify OnNavigatedTo to restore the state when reactivated.
Andrea Boschin has a few posts up that are related, so I'm going to list them all... First up is one from the end of last week on a new pattern calling data services using Rx.
Andrea Boschin's next post is on making the event driven side of he situation more reliable, and along the way, wrote an extension method to collect exceptions and rethrow them.
3rd in the series Andrea Boschin has going is on using Rx to collect and manipulate the events coming from a source, and uses MouseMove as an example.

Andrea Boschin's latest post is on an alternative to his previous post on implementing TrailWithCount and also a TrailWithTime method, although if you do this with about 1000 items, you'll get a performance hit.
Stay in the 'Light!
