From:

Michael Washington's latest LightSwitch tutorial is up and is a great, detailed one as usual talking about LightSwitch and WCF RIA Services to help simplify the UI

Another SilverlightShow book review up of the book "Windows Phone 7 Game Development"... definitely worth a look if you're considering buying it

SilverlightShow has a book review up of a book about developing WP7 games using XNA Game Studio 4... primarily for XNA devs who want to build WP7 apps

Mark Monster has a post up on using Rx to read image data out of ISO using a signature the same as when getting content online

Mark Monster also has a second post up about using a cache fallback for loss of connectivity via capturing exceptions in Rx and substituting a cached value

Oren Gal discusses using the Jenks Natural Breaks Classification method to determin the best arrangement of values into different classes, using earthquake history data in this example.

Andrea Boschin's latest on SilverlightShow is about remote Data Access with WP7, and the networking tools available for that purpose

Short on description, but I guess a picture is worth a thousand words.. Sigurd Snørteland has a couple apps up demonstrating iPhone patterns on WP7

Peter Kuhn's latest post at SilverlightShow is on the multiple screen orientations in WP7 and how the built-in sensors adjust that for you... and how to properly program for it

Mijail Cisneros took a look at the ISETool you get with the Windows Phone SDK, and wrote a command-line tool to pre-process some of the nasty bits, providing you with a menu of options to run

One of us on our team gets hit with this at least every day... so it's good information from Kunal Chowdhury with 4 ways to get debug running again

Fun to know information from Kunal Chowdhury about how to get browser information into your Silverlight app

Gill Cleeren has part two of his LightSwitch series up at SilverlightShow... focusing more on data this time, and a peek behind the curtain.

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.
