Shoutouts:

If you've got some time to spend, the User Experience Kit is packed with info: User Experience Kit, and just plain fun to navigate ... thanks Scott Barnes for reminding me about it!

Jesse Liberty is looking for some help organizing and cataloging posts for a new project he's got going: Help Wanted

Emil Stoychev posted Slides and demos from my talk on Silverlight 4

From SilverlightCream.com:

Silverlight 4 Drag and Drop File Manager: Michael Washington has a post up about a Silverlight Drag and Drop File Manager in MVVM, but a secondary important point about the post is that he and Alan Beasley followed strict Designer/Developer rules on this... you recognized Alan's ListBox didn't you?
Changing CSS with jQuery syntax in Silverlight using jLight: Timmy Kokke is using jLight as introduced in a prior post to interact with the DOM from Silverlight.
Essential Silverlight and WPF Skills: The UI Thread, Dispatchers, Background Workers and Async Network Programming: Pete Brown has a great backrounder up for WPF and Silverlight devs on threading and networking, good comments too so far.
Fluid layout and Fullscreen in Silverlight: Paul Yanez has a quick post and demo up on forcing full-screen with a fluid layout, all code included -- and it doesn't take much
Data Binding in Silverlight: Emil Stoychev has a great long tutorial up on DataBinding in Silverlight ... he hits all the major points with text, samples, and code... definitely one to read!
Yet Another MVVM Locator Pattern: Another not-necessarily Silverlight post from Jeremy Likness -- but definitely a good one on MVVM and locator patterns.
The SpiderWebControl for Silverlight: Pavan Podila has a 'SpiderWebControl' for Silverlight 4 up... this is a great network graph control with any sort of feature I can think of... check out the demo, then grab the code... or the other way around, your choice :)
