From:

Tony Champion not only posted this today, but he's updated it today as well:).. PivotViewer stuff from the PivotViewer guy... just because you don't have to use CXML now, should you not?... get Tony's perspective on this...

Kevin Hoffman has the next in his training series up for WP7 at SilverlightShow... this time out it's MVC and MVVM being discussed.

Read about the Silverlight 5 RC from the main source... Pete Brown... who would know better what is in it, and where to find the good information!

Pete Brown also has a post up about the MediaCommand and the MediaElement... focusing on controlling media playback in this post

Mike Gold took over WindowsPhoneGeek for this post about a ToDo List application for WP7 using MVVMLight and Sterling DB... lots of cool toys!

Jeremy Likness has a post up about PInvoke in the Silverlight 5 RC we just received. He demonstratest this by building a Silverlight 5 app that plays the Windows System sounds... good demo and code.

Xpert360 jumped in right away on the SL5 RC with this PivotViewer post... mostly a sample upload and where to get the tools and what... but it's a good starting point to get a level-set

Den Delimarsky took a shot at finding out service codes for his HTC Windows Phone, and the Registry pointed up lots of good stuff... check it out

Following his post on Low Level Touch, Sumit Dutta has Part 5 of his WP7 series up talking about High Level Touch... dealing with manipulation events

Asim Sajjad has a post up about DataPagers and MVVM... if you've not given this a dance, you probably don't understand the associated problems... so this is a good kick-off point

Vikram Pendse digs into PInvoke in the new Silverlight 5 RC bits which he demonstrates by calling the beep function from kernel32.dll from Silverlight

Michael Crump walks you through extracting the SQL CE database (.SDF) from your phone to your PC so that you can inspect it, and make sure it's doing what you want.

Stay in the 'Light!
