Back in June I posted a blog entry on how to get started with Silverlight; it seems it is time to update that as the world changes very quickly and we have many new resources. Each of us has our own way of learning, but here is my suggested path through...
I’m pleased to announce we’ve posted three new videos: Graphics and Brushes (never hurts to “brush up” on the fundamentals and I try to bring together what we were doing in 1.0 with what Blend brings to the party. Using Multiple Pages Part 2 covers passing...
I’m pleased to announce that we’ve posted a new tutorial: DataBinding and Data Templates Using Expression Blend available in HTML and pdf with source code. This should nicely complement the three new videos on DataBinding An overview of Databinding...
Back on July 3 I posted a Camtasia Crash Tip for those of you who use this terrific product for screen captures. Since then, unfortunately, I’ve been plagued by crashes, and it turns out that TechSmith, the wonderfully responsive folks who make the product...
I’m pleased to say that the accident of not recording my first ( new series ) Webcast led to the opportunity to reformulate it as a video, which is now available for viewing or download. This is a brief, somewhat tongue in cheek overview...

I posted the code for the PageSwitcher app described in a previous blog post , but to save space and to make the download faster, I didn't include anything but the code (no solution or project files). A reader wrote asking how to create a project...
The key point of my survey was to measure your satisfaction and then to make changes to increase satisfaction. I'm pleased that overall satisfaction seems high, but there is always room for improvement. I will shut down the survey on Sunday and start...
I'm 2/3 through Daniel Park's surprisingly excellent book Camtasia 5: The Definitive Guide and have found more than enough I didn't know and am glad to have learned to justify reading it. I've also ripped through Timothy J. Koegel's...
I'm pleased to say that we've posted a new How Do I Video on Binding Data to Silverlight 2 Controls. In the very beginning of this video I say it is about "wiring up events" but I'm confused and befuddled -- it is, of course, about...
A reader wrote to me today saying ( paraphrased ) ...let you know that the PDF version of the Data Binding tutorial identifies itself as tutorial #3 when it should be #2. As result of past experiences with Microsoft I tend to take such things as a sign...
