Podcast Part 2 Posted
On April 9, I posted a link to my first interview on Sparkling Client . Today I'm happy to post a link to the second and final part of the interview . Also, be sure to catch their terrific interview with Dave Campbell ( Silverlight Cream ).

As of today, I will attempt to add a brief Tip of the Day to the Silverlight Microblog every day. If you would like to contribute (and I hope you will) please send your tips following the directions listed here . Thanks!   -jesse
Sparkling Client Podcasts On Silverlight
I'm pleased and proud to say that my first Sparkling Client interview is now available for download; and this gives me the opportunity to recommend subscribing to this excellent new podcast. Sparkling Client focuses exclusively on Silverlight and...
New Look - Same Blog
Don't panic! It's the same blog; I just changed the look to make it easier to use and easier to read. Hope you like it. Stay tuned for lots of videos and tutorials over the next fortnight. -j
What I'm Thinking About April
I've been getting a lot of mail on the lines of "When will we have Beta 2?" or "what is the release date for Silverlight" and since I can't answer those questions, and since I know that folks need to plan, I thought I'd...
Innovation, Renovation and Change
  So, after some minutes of trying this and that, it is time to take stock and see what's working and what isn't.  What's changing... Tip of the Day: RIP The Tip of the Day was a great idea, but I have yet to figure out what is the...
Tip of the Day - What to Expect in Silverlight Help
[Updated 3/20 to fix the RSS links] I've received a lot of very positive feedback from the tutorials and videos and a lot of inquiries about what help will be forthcoming and how to get help right away. I thought I'd take a few minutes to provide...
How do I Write that In JavaScript?
A comment was left in response to Master Detail in Silverlight 2 asking " Any hint how to create such a sample with Java Script instead C# ?" I thought the answer was important enough to post to the blog in general... Two points about your question...
The difference between a geek and a snob
In my recent post I tried to distinguish between my (mis?)understanding of the role of an Evangelist (helping folks figure out if they want to commit to Silverlight) vs my role as I see it (helping developers lean and use Silverlight). It is hard enough...
The Difference Between An Evangelist and A Geek
Today's NY Times declares (ever so quietly) the beginning of the Netware wars (did I just coin that term?). They get a lot wrong in the article, but if you know more than they appear to, you can conclude that Silverlight and Air/Flex will be competing...
A note on reading, technology and mental illness
I posted yesterday about Amazon's Media Library -- which I believe could be a great back end to a very cool Silverlight project and that led to a comment on the volume of my reading. I started to write a response but once you get me started talking...
Tip of the Day - Suspends Until Mid March - Then Focus On Silverlight 2
Rather than trying to provide a Tip of the Day as we head towards one of the larger and more important  shows of the year (you are going to Mix , right?) Therefore, I'm going to suspend the Tip of the Day from now until mid-March. After Mix,...
Kind Words, the fuel of cooperative communities...
A very kind reader sent this, and I am incredibly happy to share it with you. Stay tuned for another Tip of the Day later today. In getting ready for Silverlight 2 I've been playing with some early bits. Today I began to see how much easier some things...
One more gadget (the ego never quits)
I woke up at 5 this morning, so I decided to take apart the Silverlight Tip of the Day gadget that Kelly White had so kindly created and, as an exercise in egomania, modify it to display all my blog entries, rather than just those that are tagged as Tip...
Tip of the Day - Time to move to Generic Collections for Silverlight.
In Silverlight 1.1 the non-generic collections were marked obsolete. We have announced that the non-generic collections will not be in Silverlight 2.0 at all, so if you're still using non-generic collections like ArrayList it is time to step up to...
