From:

Max Paulousky's latest post is on performance testing WP7.1 database engines... specifically SQL CE and Sterling.

Ollie Riches' latest is about the Silverlight Serializer throwing MissingMethodException exceptions and why.

Derik Whittaker starts off discussing MVVM and ViewModel Location, giving a list of great posts covering this, then walks through them showing his take, and is open to suggestions/comments.

John Garland has another cool post up... custom ringtones in WP7.1... note this is all developer bits, so don't expect this to work if you're not running the latest.

WindowsPhoneGeek's latest is part 2 of his MVVM in real life WP7 apps is up. This post finishes the initial implementation of the app.

Manas Patnaik had a particular need for a custom DatePicker Control. I've not needed this, but you can bet if I do, I know where to find it... good job, Manas!

Xianzhong Zhu has Part 3 of the PushGame tutorial up... this post gets into the main interface and core data structure for composing the game

John Papa talks with Jason Shaver about data binding debugging... in Silverlight 5 beta, of course!

Dhananjay Kumar has Part 1 of a video series on Smooth Streaming posted on his blog

Continuing his WP7 tutorials, Jesse Liberty has this one on 3 ways to handle Events: name the event handler in xaml, name the event handler in the constructor, or use an anonymous delegate in a Lambda expression.

Part 2 of Peter Torr's Background Agents post series, and he's introducing his AsyncWorkloadHelper library... check it out...

Gill Cleeren announced the publishing of his eBook to help get ready for the Silverlight exam is available at SilverlightShow

Jonas Follesø is blogging about WP7.1 and the camera access which leads to the ability to do scanning, and in particular, QR code scanning, with video and source.

Stay in the 'Light!
