Silverlight 4 – Coded UI Framework Video Tutorial
Michael Crump posted a video tutorial today on the Coded UI Test Framework that we got with the VS2010 Feature Pack 2. Wanna create automated tests? ... check out Michael's video and save yourself some time.
Windows Phone From Scratch #12–Custom Behaviors (Part I)
Jesse Liberty posted his Windows Phone from Scratch number 12 today... and it's on Custom Behaviors... cool stuff... need to read this and get your head around it... this is part 1, jump on it before he drops part 2 on us!
The Next Application Platform? All of them...
Shawn Wildermuth has a thought-provoking post up ... check it out and see if you're ready to join him on the adventure of building for all the platforms...
Windows Phone 7 Accelerometer Test App
Domagoj Pavlešic has a test app up for the accelerometer on the WP7 ... if you need to use it, and are having problems, a good example always helps me.
Protocol of developing an animation texture tool
Peter Kuhn found a need for a tool to creat some animations for an WP7 XNA game... so he challenged himself to write it, and detailed out all his steps as he went.
Re-examining WP7 Launchers and Choosers
James Ashley's most recent post is on the Pivot Control ... check this out... add a working Horizontally oriented slider to a pivot... plus some external links to help out
New Prototyping Sketch Sheets for WP7
This is one of those posts that I had to go to SilverlightCream and make sure I hadn't hit it yet... pretty cool prototype sheets for WP7 by Sara Summers ... we've seen others, they're all good.
Simulating GPS on Windows Phone 7
Morten Nielsen helps you get around the fact that you're not going to be able to use the emulator for testing your GPS app ... at least not without some assistance... and that doesn't mean hauling your dev system around your neighborhood, either.
How to correctly handle application deactivation and reactivation
We've seen posts on Tombstoning, but probably not from Silverlight team members... check this one out from Peter Torr ... great even sequence information and all the info on how to correctly handle it, plus external links to the documentation... you knew there was documentation, right? :)
Localizing a Windows Phone 7 Application
Tau Sick has a post up discussing Localization and your WP7 apps... coming from soneone with an app in the marketplace in 3 languages, it's a pretty good bet he's got it figured out!
