From:

Pete Brown is, as you would expect, exploring Silverlight 5 Beta for us all, and has this post up on the ClickCount property... supporting not only Double, but Triple? Clicks...

Victor Gaudioso's latest Silverlight training video is posted... on creating a window control that can be dragged, expanded, and collapsed... except this is in Silverlight 4!

WindowsPhoneGeek's latest post is on WP7 Trial apps... the first in a short series on Trial apps... this first one is on Implementing the Trial and what constitutes best practices.

Jesse Liberty's latest is his latest 'Yet Another Podcast' and he's featuring 2 other great guys... Erik Mork and Kelly White... listen in as they talk about WP7, iPhone, and Android development

Jeremy Likness discusses issues surrounding the support of IEnumerable in Sterling... and how he designed the code to deal with the unknown and unexpected.

Wow.. talk about a stellar cast... John Papa has Silverlight TV 71 up and he's joined by Laurent Bugnion, Luigi Russo, and Ward Bell... these guys can handle any questions.. and they do!

David Anson not only wins the award for the longest post titles, but his entire URL won't fit in the alloted space in my database... lol... but this post is about a problem and solution with the WebBrowserExtensions he previously posted about... and we all get the benefit of the updated code.

Mike Taulty takes a break from his Silverlight 5 Beta examination with this Silverlight 4 post on a common error message you may get... a file that reproduces it and hey... looks like SL5B likes it!

Mike Taulty follows up with a Silverlight 5 Beta 'Rough Notes' post on the performance of SL5B in windowless mode.. gasp!...

Lazar Nikolov has a part 2 of his Rain Simulation in Silverlight up... remember the rain post... cool stuff... dang wait til you see the demo on this 2nd half... 1000 drops/second... great demo... and of course, the code

Check out this list of 20 Expression Blend tips from someone that knows how to use the tool: Alex Knight... This is going on the RH Sidebar of WynApse.com

Deborah Kurata's latest Silverlight/WCF RIA Validation is posted, and is on the metadata class... did you know you could create one of those??

Michael Washington has an interesting post up about LightSwitch... Lots of good points in this article

Stay in the 'Light!
