Mike Swanson has updated his Adobe Illustrator-to- XAML plug-in. It now supports WPF and Silverlight conversions in addition to making the files smaller by getting rid of unneccessary precision. I tagged it with delicious, but this is important enough to earn its own post.
Devin over at devinsblog had a great idea after discovering that there is a Google Docs Twitter list of iPhone developers with over 500 iPhone developers on it. (How many tech buzzwords can I fit in a single sentence?) So he set up a similar list for Silverlight/WPF developers. Everyone should sign up for it……
In case there is any interest out there… Apress is selling their “Pro Silverlight 2 in C# 2008” as an eBook for a measly $10. A great deal that ends at midnight. Hurry. Oh, and vote for me in the MIX 10K Challenge. I’m going to be a broken record about it for the next…
I’ve been really quiet lately, largely because I’ve been working on updating my Silverlight projects so that they run again (after RCW killed my compatibility). Updated Mac View Scroller for Silverlight Updated Zooming Buttons I’ve updated and uploaded all the project code for these files as well. I’m working on getting the Silverlight Color Picker…
I’m in the middle of trying to update my life to Silverlight RC0. Starting in a week or so, I’ll be trying to update my samples to RC0 and I’ll be creating new Silverlight samples in RC0. I’m putting the color picker control on hold until after PDC so that everyone is on the same…
Download code for this sample (updated for RCW) I was reading Mike Snow’s blog and he had a recent Silverlight tutorial on creating a Zooming toolbar. I looked at it and said to myself, “I think I can do that without code in Blend!” So here’s a tutorial on exactly that. End product : Big…
Over at Project Rosetta they have the post I’ve been waiting for: How to use mathematics to enhance user experiences. They basically walk step by step through how we can use mathematics to create easing equations and pseudo-3D effects. They then use these principles to create the following application. Click and drag on a name…
I apologize for my extended sabbatical here… I’ve recently gotten married, which has thrown a bit of a wrench in my blogging commitment. I’ll start posting again with some regularity in about three weeks, at which point I will also start working on my first line-of-business Silverlight project. Until then…
I swear… I’ll get back to the tutorials any day now! By in the meantime, I’m doing some form redesign and I wanted to praise to the heavesn Luke Wroblewski, whose many blog posts on form usability is some of the best, most practical stuff I’ve ever seen. Stuff I’m reading and using right now: Guide…
I wanted to take a moment to apologize to everyone to whom I promised more Wii goodness on my blog. I couldn’t get internet access from my hotel last night (despite a 45 minute conversation with a tech support guy). And, in a somewhat ironic turn of events, the internet access here at MIX08 is pretty…
